Help the right families find your program.

Confirm that written approval is active before describing the program as licensed, registered, or certified

Check the public state child care listing for the correct program name, status, ages, and contact information

Ask the local CCR&R how families search for care and how providers report openings

Choose one business phone number or email for inquiries and write down response hours

Write a short description with ages, schedule, general location, meals, philosophy, and how to inquire

Prepare a flyer and three social posts that all use the same business name and contact information

Photograph clean learning areas, materials, and outdoor space without children or private documents

Review every image for addresses, children’s names, attendance sheets, medication labels, or other private information

Create or update a Facebook Page for the business and complete its About and contact sections

Review Google Business Profile eligibility and address-display rules before creating a profile

Share openings through approved local parent groups, schools, libraries, employers, and community partners

Give current families a simple referral card without offering anything that conflicts with program rules

Reply to inquiries with the same basic questions, availability information, and next step

Track inquiry date, age needed, schedule, status, and follow-up date without recording unnecessary private details

Use a tour checklist and never promise an opening until required documents, fit, and payment arrangements are confirmed

Review which source produced qualified inquiries and update or remove posts when openings change
