    The layout looks good but it need more information. It is too basic.

      Dave looks good, please fix "licensed" in your intro. Not being nasty, just helpful

        I agree with Michael. I would suggest adding a few more pages. One about your program and/or day's activites (what the kids will be doing) and maybe a FAQ's page with information about your business hours, ages that you accept,etc. I would also add a page that talks about you as a child care provider with info about your training, experience, clearances and why you chose to do child care etc. This could also be a place for you to talk about why it's so beneficial to have a male caretaker in a child's life. You may even want to think about advertising your daycare as a great place for families without a father figure KWIM?

          It's a good start!

          I would also add more information. I know it's all in how individuals interpret it, but I also avoid using the term 'stay at home' parent because I think it gives the impression that being a SAHP is your primary concern, when THEIR primary concern is childcare. They want to believe you put your business first, kwim? I would put "Fulltime dad" or something along those lines instead. Maybe it's all semantics but it jumps out at me.

            nice picture, love your backyard deck. Add more pictures and more information.

            I would put a family picture-shows your a family man.

            Look at others. I stink at names, but I have seen some good one here on the forum, that will show you what else you would want to include.

            Are you on the food program? If not you want to look into that and get hooked up with it.

            Anyway being a very visual person I can now put your face with your name. Make sure to ask your clients if they mind if you put the kids pics on the net- big issues with that these days. Saying that, if the little girl in the sandbox is your niece she is a cutie, what a fun little bundle-

            Some things that jump out you need to add,
            Where are you located?
            hours of operation
            food program
            training
            what you offer
            pics of your indoor space
            sample meal menu
            daily schedule
            policies if you choose and rates
            sample of what you do with the kiddo's
            phone number so people can contact you
            just a few off the top of my head, again look at others websites for more ideas, inspiration and things to add. Your on a good start-

                It's great. There are a few things I noticed that could be changed. This is what I would write...

                ABOUT US:
                As a stay-at-home-father of three small children, I understand the importance of making every moment count in the lives of our children. Whether it be helping prepare our morning breakfast, picking out the perfect book for reading time, or dancing to fun Disney songs, the children are always learning through play. Our goal is to spend every day finding new and exciting ways to make little eyes light up with excitement and wonder.

                Doodle Bug Daycare opened in early 2012 and is licensed with the DHS and Cherokee Nation. My wife assists in the daycare every Monday. I also have a college student who will help occasionally in the summer.

                Our hours of operation are:

                HIGHLIGHTS:
                As a small daycare, we are able to focus on every child's individual needs. With a small group, we are able to encourage and build up every child so they will be confident and eager to embrace what their future has in store.

                DAILY SCHEDULE:

                CONTACT US:
                We know how difficult it is to be away from your most prized possession. Our primary goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your child is safe and happy while in our care. We would be honored to have your child be a part of the Doodle Bug Daycare family. For more information, or to set up a time to tour of our facility, please contact us at (555) 555-5555.

                  Thanks for the tips. I just threw it together right before midnight last night so i still need to work on it. Had a late meeting at Lowes all night and came home to an argument with my precious wife both of us trying to figure out why i am not getting more kids to watch....finally decided to give it a try for a little bit longer and hopefully quit my other job so i can focus more on my family as well. Been two years since ive been able to enjoy the weekend without my family, i actually had to call in sick a few sundays ago cause i was tired of being turned down for time off. I cant neglect them

                      Good to see you back!

                      Besides more info -

                      IMO, and it may just be me, but misspellings drive me nuts in a public document. There is a newspaper in my county that continuously misspells words and I won't purchase their product. IMO, if you don't care enough to spell words correctly, then I don't want to give you my service..... I feel the same about gross grammatical errors.

                      You had several misspellings. I'm just telling you how I would feel if I was someone who didn't know you from Adam and was googling daycares for my area. Just one of my buttons.
