    My New Website-Please Critique'

    Please take a look! Mel-I borrowed Albert Einstein's quote from yours. It fits my philosophy so well. I hope that's ok and thank yoU!

    I'll still be tweaking a few things, but please feel free to critique', good or bad!

          I would leave out that you took 10 years off, I would take out that the rules have changed. I would leave the part out about the hopeful achievements of graduating the program. I wouldn't state that conferences are scheduled every January. I would state that parent/provider conferences are available and must be scheduled in advance. And, lastly, I would NEVER disclose my physical address! I only disclose a general proximity unless an interview is scheduled.

              A couple things you shoudl consider.

              The links in the header are bunched up and looked confusing until you realize there are two lines of links. Maybe just go with one line and use the extra links in other pages or use the footer.

              The text on the home page looks bold. Try using a bigger font instead.

              I would also purchase KinderhausFamilyChildcare.com and point the name to this page. You can also use URL forward and frame it. That way visitors can use KinderhausFamilyChildcare.com to view your website and you can advertise an address that you own.

                website

                Great job! You have some grammatical errors, you may want to have someone proof it. When you publicize yourself on the internet, as an educator, it is important that you use the best grammar and choose words carefully. I love the various sections you have. You may want to focus on the curriculum which is not the same as the philosophy. I am happy to assist you more if you would like.

                  Very cute and organized,

                  just some ideas....need more pictures of just the space and less of the children individually...or perhaps a phote of children doing group activities together...

                    I cant really afford to purchase anything right now. This is a free website from google, so some options are limited. I will work on the fonts. Thanks for the insight!

                        I'm not going to let you off that easily. Check out
                        In a year if you are still doing daycare I can push the name over to you or even sooner if you want. It only cost me $8 to buy it for the year. You should start promoting

                            ?????????

                            Michael!

                            THat is really wonderful! But, I will pay $8 per year! I imagined it would be a lot more than that!

                            Tell me what you need from me, and how to administrate the site, please!

                              I think your website looks nice. Some of the above suggested changes would be great though. Like the links at the top that Michael suggested changing.

                              Looking at your daily schedule, what kind of table activities do you do with your kiddos? I am looking for new ideas. I have 1 year to 3 years.
