I think having an attractive and functional website with a simple user interface is incredibly important. Oftentimes the very first impression that your prospective families will have of the school is your website. Having a website that looks professional and high quality will give your school the same impression.

Nowadays, creating a personalized school website is the key to attract the parents. Including as much information as we can on the website to give parents a full vision of how our school looks like, what age programs we do have, tuition, daily routines, staffing and so on. Creating an insta account or a youtube channel are also getting more popular, however I believe it is not a good time to open these social media accounts at the beginning because things are not settling down yet.

Great insight, Weimin! Personalized school websites with comprehensive information are indeed effective. Proceeding cautiously with social media is wise.

Digital marketing methods would include a user friendly website with all the information that a parent or family could be looking for such as tuition prices, opening and closing times, programs available (am prek, all day prek, before and after school care, transportation) as well as pictures of the classrooms and outside areas. Another great marketing strategy is to use social media. I know that there are people in mom groups or neighborhood groups who always ask about childcare in the area.
