Hello All,
We recently opened a Reggio Emilia Preschool (licensed for 60 students). I wanted to get suggestions and ideas to build are enrollment. What we've done so far is delineated below:
Local newspaper did a story about the opening of our school (twice)
Blog/Website dedicated to parents with preschoolers posted information about our summer program
Distribution of flyers in the community (weekly)
Hosting a Saturday Camp (to get people to visit our school)
Open House (two)
Website (www.thediscoverylane.com)
Facebook advertising
Social Media pages (Instagram and Facebook)
Newsletter (sent to all families that inquired about our school)
Provided literature to churches that do not offer preschool in the summer
Working with the School District to distribute flyers about our summer camp to elementary schools in the surrounding area.
Great location (very visible). Most of the calls we get people say they drove by and saw our school sign
We opened just about 2 months ago. I would say on average we have 2-3 tours a week. We constantly (3-4 times a week) get calls about our program and we've had about 20 tours in the last 6 weeks. The challenging part is getting parents to enroll. Perhaps we are still fairly new and my expectations are too high, or perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Any and all suggestions are welcome! I'm very transparent and I appreciate your expertise. Thank You!!
