Many parents begin their child's program search via the Internet.
Therefore, your program's website plays a very important role in communicating a first impression to families. Many prospective parents use the Internet to help them identify possible early childhood programs in their geographic area and then choose which programs they would like to visit or learn more about, based on the information they find online. This is your opportunity to market your program. An attractive and well-designed website should be easy to read. Visitors to the site should be able to find the information they need quickly, with just a few clicks of a mouse.
Please review the following childcare programs' websites:
Bright Horizons
Childcare Network
For your Final Project, you will create the appearance of a website for your own childcare program and facility using either PowerPoint orPrezi. If you utilize PowerPoint, each slide will represent what would typically be seen on a page within a website. If you utilize Prezi, each featured point will communicate that information. Your "website" will be targeted toward prospective parents and must include all of the elements below.
Describe the following aspects of your program:
Name of program (Title)
Location
Where is the program located (Ex: residential neighborhood, rural, etc.)?
Is it easy to access from a major road or highway?
Is it located in a safe area? (Please use the examples in the websites listed above.)
Scope of services
What are the ages served?
What are the hours of service?
Tuition or fees
Is there a registration fee?
What is the weekly or monthly fee?
Are there any additional costs?
Philosophy or focus
Select a theory from Chapter 1 that interests you the most and construct your center's philosophy based on that theory.
In order to be prepared to respond to parents' inquiries, describe a scenario that demonstrates how your center will address each of the ten NAEYC Standards:
Relationships

Provide examples of the following program information:
Testimonials from satisfied parents (minimum of one, created by you)
Daily schedule
Photos of classrooms and playgrounds
Lunch and snack menus (create a sample daily menu)
Credentials and biographies of the staff (yours)
Critique one of the childcare websites listed above using the "Website Evaluation Rubric" (one slide/point). Be sure to attach the completed rubric to your slide if using PowerPoint, or incorporate the rubric as a point in your Prezi. For assistance, see "Link or Embed Files" (PowerPoint) or visit the "Learn" page on the Prezi website.
The PowerPoint must be 20 to 25 slides in length, or 20 to 25 points if usingPrezi, not including title and reference slides. You are encouraged to creatively address the material using graphics, visuals, charts, graphs, and/or sound. Slides/points should be designed to clearly and concisely address the material. The PowerPoint or Prezi must be formatted according to APA style, including the title and reference slides/points. The notes section of the PowerPoint must be utilized (when explaining the NAEYC standards) to expand on your presented points. Be sure to use at least two scholarly sources and the course text.
