Daycares, preschools & in-home care
A parent is researching childcare at 11pm. Give them something to trust.
Choosing childcare is the most nervous shopping a parent will do, and the centers they can find real information about are the ones that get the tour booked. Mainfolk builds you a warm, honest site in about a minute: programs by age, published tuition, your licensing and accreditation, staff credentials, and a tour request a parent can send without calling first.
Free forever, and it really works. Your own domain name is $15/mo when you want it. No credit card, no contract.
- Tuition, shown honestly
- Licensing & accreditation, visible
- Staff credentials, up front
- You own it, no lock-in
Trust, before the tour
Parents don't choose a center at the front desk. They choose it on the website, before they call.
A worried parent scrolling at midnight isn't looking for a brochure. They're looking for the specific things that let them stop worrying: what a program actually costs, whether the center is licensed and accredited, and who is caring for their child. The center that answers those questions on the page is the one that gets the tour booked.
No site, or a Facebook page
- No tuition, so a nervous parent moves to the next result
- No visible licensing, so trust has to be built from scratch on the phone
- Doesn't rank for the searches parents actually run
- An AI assistant has nothing it can cite
- Touring means catching someone at the front desk during business hours
A real site, built for a worried parent
- Tuition and programs, readable in one screen
- Licensing, accreditation, and staff credentials, displayed clearly
- Built to rank for what parents search at 11pm
- Structured data and
llms.txtso assistants can recommend you - A tour request on every single page
Built for the tour
Everything a childcare website needs, already on it.
The pieces daycares, preschools, in-home providers and after-school programs actually use, built in and ready for your words and your photos.
Programs by age group
Infant, toddler, preschool, pre-K, and after-school, each with what a day looks like and who it's for.
Published tuition
Rates by program and age, or a starting-from figure if that fits your center better. Hiding the number loses the tour to the center that shows it.
Licensing & accreditation, displayed clearly
Your state license and any accreditation, shown where a careful parent will actually see it, not buried in a footer.
Staff credentials & background-check policy
Certifications, experience, and a plain statement of your background-check process. The detail that turns a stranger into someone a parent will trust.
A typical day, walked through
Drop-off, meals, nap, outdoor time, pickup. Showing the rhythm of a day answers the question every parent actually has.
Tour requests, front and center
A tour request form and a prominent contact button on every page. Requests land in your inbox as leads you confirm, so you keep control of your schedule.
What the site is, and isn't
Your website presents your program. It doesn't handle enrollment or health records.
Mainfolk builds you the front door: programs, tuition, licensing, staff, and a way for a parent to reach out. Your licensing, ratios, and enrollment compliance stay entirely yours to manage and present, the site just gives you a place to publish it clearly.
On the contact form: it's a general enquiry form for scheduling a tour or asking a question, not a system for collecting a child's medical information. Anything that needs HIPAA-covered handling, like health records or immunization documentation, should go through the enrollment or patient system your center already uses.
You stay in control of
- Licensing & ratios. You own the compliance, the site just presents it.
- Enrollment. The site sends you a tour request; you run your own enrollment process.
- Health information. Never collected through the site's contact form, by design.

Questions
Asked and answered.
Should I publish tuition?
Most parents filter hard on tuition, and a center that hides the number loses the tour to the one that shows it. You can publish exact rates, a range by age group, or a starting-from figure. Whatever you choose is click-to-edit, so a rate change takes seconds rather than an email to a developer.
Can I show my licensing and accreditation?
Yes, and it belongs somewhere a parent can find it without asking. Displaying licensing and any accreditation clearly reassures the parent doing careful research before they trust anyone with their child, and it is one of the fastest ways to earn that trust on a first visit to the site.
Can parents request a tour online?
Yes. A tour request form and a prominent contact button sit on every page. Requests land in your inbox as leads you confirm, so you keep control of your schedule and can always follow up by phone if that works best for your center.
Is the contact form safe for family information?
The form on your site is a general enquiry form for scheduling a tour or asking a question. It is not a HIPAA-covered system and should never be used to collect medical information about a child. Anything that needs HIPAA-covered handling, like health records or immunization documentation, should go through the enrollment or patient system your center already uses.
What does it cost?
Start free, forever, on a mainfolk.com address. Launch is $15 a month for your own domain name with no Mainfolk badge. No contract, no setup fee, and hosting, the security certificate, and updates are included. See the full pricing page.
Who else is this for besides daycares?
Preschools, in-home family childcare providers, and after-school programs. Anywhere the business is programs, tuition, credentials, and a tour, the same structure fits.
