Program Website
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:

Your “website” will be targeted toward prospective parents and must include all of the elements below.
Describe the following aspects of your program:
The PowerPoint must be 20 to 25 slides in length, or 20 to 25 points if using Prezi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., not including title and reference slides.
