Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the following early childhood education websites:
Bright Horizons (Links to an external site.)
Childcare Network (Links to an external site.)
Many parents begin their child’s program search via the Internet. Therefore, as a leader, having a vision for a
program website, as well as the ability to create and develop a website, can benefit you in your future. Your
program’s website plays a very important role in communicating a first impression to families. Many
prospective parents use the Internet to help them identify possible early childhood programs in their geographic
area, and then choose which programs they would like to visit or learn more about based on the information
they find online. This is your opportunity to market your program. An attractive and well-designed website
should be easy to read. Visitors to the site should be able to find the information they need quickly, with just a
few clicks of a mouse.
For your Final Project, you will create a Google site for your own childcare program and facility using Google
sites (Links to an external site.). Your Google site will be targeted toward prospective families and can be
creative in the development but must include all of the following requirements. See the following exemplar for
