If you own a daycare or kindergarten, you probably already use Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or WhatsApp to promote your services. You may already get likes, comments, enquiries, and referrals from these platforms—so why not also list your daycare on Find A Daycare?
The answer is simple: you want your daycare to be visible wherever parents are looking for childcare.
Social media is valuable, and we don't want to replace it. Find A Daycare gives your childcare business another chance to be discovered, especially by parents who are actively searching for daycare information and comparing options.
Social Media Engagement Is Great — But Search Intent Is Different!
Someone scrolling through social media may come across your post, like it, and continue scrolling. A parent searching “I need a daycare near me”, “find a daycare near me” or “daycare in Nairobi” has a very different intention.
That parent is actively looking for childcare.
Find A Daycare is being built specifically around that journey: helping parents discover daycares in Kenya, explore information about providers, and connect with facilities that could meet their childcare needs.
Your social media pages and your Find A Daycare profile can therefore work together rather than compete.
Listing Your Daycare Is FREE
Let's make this very clear:
You do not have to pay to list your daycare or kindergarten on Find A Daycare. Creating and maintaining your standard daycare listing is free.
To get started, use the List Your Daycare option located towards the top-right of the Find A Daycare homepage or go directly to our daycare-owner registration page:
List Your Daycare: https://findadaycare.co.ke/dashboard/owner/index.php
Once listed, your facility gets a dedicated presence where parents can learn more about what you offer.
What Information Can Parents Find?
A useful daycare listing should answer some of the first questions a parent has before making contact.
When creating your listing, we ask for straightforward information including:
Age groups accepted
Rates
Capacity
Operating hours and days
Staff ratio
Images that help parents see your daycare
You can additionally provide information about amenities and facilities available at your centre.
This gives a parent searching for something specific — whether that is a daycare in Nairobi, a kindergarten or a daycare elsewhere in Kenya — more information before deciding whether to enquire.
Turn Discovery Into an Enquiry
Visibility only becomes valuable when interested parents can take the next step.
Under Contact & Enquire, parents can access the contact information you provide, including your phone number and email address, and reach out directly about your services.
Parents can also contact Find A Daycare when they want additional information or guidance before approaching a provider.
That gives your listing an important job: taking somebody from “I need a daycare near me” to discovering your facility, learning about it, and potentially making an enquiry.
See How Parents Are Interacting With Your Listing
Your profile isn't intended to be a static advertisement that disappears into the internet.
Daycare profiles can show the number of website visitors who have viewed them over time, helping you understand the visibility your listing is receiving.
Users can also leave comments underneath profiles, providing useful feedback about how people feel about or experience your daycare.
Listings additionally have a 1-to-5-star user rating. This gives visitors another form of user-generated feedback when exploring a facility, alongside the information supplied on its profile.
Want More Visibility? Get Featured
While standard listings are free, daycare owners who want greater prominence can choose to have their daycare featured on the Find A Daycare homepage for KSh 1,000 per month. Twelve consecutive months would cost KSh 12,000, but you can choose only the months in which you want the additional homepage exposure.
This could be useful, for example, when you have vacancies, are approaching a new school term, or simply want to increase your visibility during particular periods. Therefore, you don't have to commit to the entire year. To sign up, click here to start.
Featured providers also receive priority consideration for referrals when parents contact Find A Daycare seeking daycare options in an area where those providers are situated.
The important distinction is that being listed is free; being featured is an optional paid service.
Keep Your Daycare Information Up to Date — For Free
Daycare businesses change.
Your rates may change. You may get a new phone number, adjust operating hours, move premises, renovate, change management or temporarily stop accepting children.
Daycare owners who have listed with Find A Daycare can update and edit their information from time to time without paying an editing fee, helping parents access more current information.
We also want provider information to reflect important operational changes, including whether a daycare is active, temporarily affected by renovations, relocating, closed, or undergoing a management/ownership transition.
That matters because a useful childcare directory shouldn't simply accumulate old daycare names. It should become better at reflecting what is actually happening with the providers parents are trying to find.
Your Daycare Doesn't Have to Be Famous to Be Findable
Imagine a parent searching for Hellen's Daycare Ngong after hearing the name from another parent. Or perhaps they don't know any daycare names at all and simply search “find a daycare near me.”
Those are different search journeys, but they share one thing: the parent is looking for information.
Your daycare listing gives your business another opportunity to be present during that search.
You can continue building your Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp presence. Keep posting, engaging with parents, and growing your community.
But also give parents a place where they can find structured information about your daycare when they are actively considering childcare.
List Your Daycare Today
If you operate a daycare, kindergarten, or childcare facility in Kenya, listing on Find A Daycare is free.
Tell parents where you are, whom you serve, what you charge, when you're open, and how they can reach you.
Then keep your information updated as your daycare changes and grows.
Because parents can't enquire about a daycare they don't know exists.
