      Good start so far! Is it a free site or did you purchase the domain? I love the name. I'm just starting to work on a site as well. I have a page for the handbook, schedule, daycare setup photos, and training.

        Looks nice!

        I like the Facebook page too. I've been contemplating making a FB page for my daycare...
        Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

          Looks great. Did you use a program like Dreamweaver or is this a creative function offered by your domain name registrar?

              I like your website, it's so cheerful! I don't have any advice on what else you might need, as I don't have one.

              I am curious about the video monitoring, though. I've always thought that seems like a good idea. Do you mind sharing a little about how that works?

                Your website looks great. The Facebook page I would make private to current clients if you plan to add pictures, etc.

                I'm not sure where you are located and if this is in home or a center, but your rates are ridiculously low. If you purchased a domain name, you have credentials, and you have video monitoring, I would raise rates to compensate for these luxuries.

                Good luck to you!

                    Thanks for all the responses!

                    I did purchase the domain name, but the site itself is a template my Internet-savvy hubby found for me. ๎–

                    As far as my rates go, I agree they are ridiculously low BUT for where I live, they are actually about $15 higher than average. There aren't many high paying jobs around here, mostly right at $6.50-$7.00 per hour (min. wage here is $6.25). Sad isn't it?

                    Anyway, for those interested in the video monitoring, it is a system of cameras that constantly stream live action video to a secure site my hubby set up for me. Each parent will have their own password to get into the site. When a parent no longer has a child at my center, their password will simply be de-activated so they no longer can get into the site.

                    I'm very excited and can't wait until I can open for business!!

                      I was going to say the same thing about the rates! wow.

                      well the site is off to good start!

                          The pics I put up were of my son only that way I didn't have to get any parents to sign wavers. Easier for me that way.

                            I have permission from my parents to take photos for crafts, newsletters, family gift projects etc but I never mentioned website on the form they signed as I just didn't have one. I want to make one now tho and was thinking of adding pics. I have some great adorable ones from years past where the client has since moved etc. If I black out the faces do u think it would be ok to post these pics on a website? Of course I would never use names either. I'm assuming it wouldn't be a problem but I have ASSumed wrong before What do u all think?

                              The rates are very low. It's about double where we live.

                              The first thing I noticed on the site was that the admin information was right on the pages for everyone to see.
                              I love the video monitoring idea. Is there a link for that on your web site?
