What do a pediatrician, children's tutor, toy seller, baby clothing store, and weekend activity provider have in common?
Their customers are often the same people visiting Find A Daycare: parents looking for products, services, and opportunities that can support their children.
That is why Find A Daycare isn't being built only for parents searching for childcare or daycare owners wanting to list their facilities. We also want to create a home for businesses and professionals whose products and services serve children and families.
Our Audience Could Be Your Audience
At the heart of Find A Daycare is a very specific community: parents, childcare providers, and people interested in services for children.
Many of the daycare owners within this ecosystem are themselves women and mothers. Parents visiting the platform are already thinking about their children β where they will spend their day, what they need, what they can learn, and which services are available around them.
For a child-focused business, that creates a relevant audience.
Instead of advertising your services to everybody and hoping that a parent notices, Find A Daycare gives you an opportunity to present what you offer within an environment specifically built around childcare and families.
Who Can Be Part of This?
If your business provides a legitimate product or service relevant to children, parents, or childcare providers, we'd like to hear from you.
That could include businesses and professionals offering:
Practical lessons and children's classes
After-school programmes and activities
Weekend activities for children
Holiday tutoring and holiday programmes
Tutoring and academic support
Pediatricians and children's health services
Baby clinics and related services
Children's toys and educational materials
Baby and children's clothing
School and daycare furniture
Learning materials and educational products
Products or professional services used by daycare providers
And that isn't an exhaustive list.
Children and their families need many different products and services as they grow. If what you provide genuinely serves that community, there could be a place for your business on Find A Daycare.
Local Discovery Makes It Even More Relevant
Location matters when parents are searching for services.
Imagine a mother searching Find A Daycare for childcare options around Lang'ata, Nairobi. While exploring daycare options in that area, she may also be interested in discovering a nearby children's activity provider, tutor, baby clothing business, or other useful family service.
Now imagine your business operates in the same area. Right?
Connecting child-related businesses with the locations and communities parents are already exploring creates an opportunity for more relevant discovery.
A parent interested in a daycare in Nairobi isn't necessarily interested only in daycare. That same family may need holiday activities next month, tutoring next term, a pediatrician, educational toys, or children's clothing.
We want Find A Daycare to help make those connections possible.
You Get Your Own Dedicated Space
Child and family service providers will have an opportunity to receive a dedicated page or space on Find A Daycare where their products or services can be presented to our audience.
However, unlike daycare listings, we don't want to force every business into the same template.
A pediatrician doesn't need the same information displayed as a toy seller. A holiday tutoring programme is different from a baby clinic, while somebody supplying school furniture to daycare owners serves another need entirely.
That is why these listings will be customised according to the business and what it offers.
Talk to Us First
If you'd like to promote your child or family-focused business through Find A Daycare, contact us directly.
You can email, call, text or WhatsApp us and tell us about your business, what you offer, where you operate, and the type of customers you want to reach.
We'll hear you out and determine how your business can best be presented on the platform.
This also gives us an opportunity to understand whether your primary audience is parents, daycare owners, or both.
Flexible Advertising Periods
Because these businesses are different from daycare providers, our standard daycare listing charges and arrangements do not necessarily apply.
Pricing will depend on the advertising or promotional arrangement agreed for your particular business.
Businesses will have opportunities to select advertising periods such as:
3 months | 6 months | 12 months
This gives businesses flexibility to choose a period that makes sense for their services, campaigns, and budgets.
A provider running holiday activities, for example, may have very different promotional needs from a pediatric service or children's clothing business operating throughout the year.
And Don't Forget the Daycare Owners
Parents aren't the only potential customers within the Find A Daycare ecosystem.
Daycare and kindergarten owners also need products and services to operate their centres.
Someone selling school furniture, educational toys, learning materials, or other childcare-related supplies may therefore have an opportunity to reach not only parents but also daycare operators.
That is part of the bigger picture we're building.
More Than a Daycare Directory
Find A Daycare began with a straightforward idea: make it easier for parents to discover childcare options.
But childcare doesn't exist in isolation.
Around every child is a wider ecosystem of parents, caregivers, educators, health professionals, businesses, and service providers.
Our goal is to bring more of that ecosystem together in one relevant space.
So if you offer after-school activities, weekend activities, holiday tutoring, pediatric services, baby clinic services, toys, children's clothing, school furniture, educational products, or another child-focused product or service, we'd like to hear from you.
Tell us what you do. Tell us where you're located. Tell us who you want to reach.
There may already be parents on Find A Daycare looking for something just like it.
