Website design for daycares, CPEs and schools
A daycare website should present the educational program, show a typical day, explain enrolment and the waiting list clearly and post the menus. Photos show no identifiable children's faces without parental consent, and enrolment forms respect Quebec's Law 25 on personal information.

What do parents want to see on a daycare website?
A parent looking for a spot compares several daycares in one evening, usually on a phone. First they want to know whether there is room and for what age: infants, toddlers, preschool. Then what a day looks like from drop-off to pickup, with snack, outdoor play, lunch and nap. They look at the rooms, the yard and the educators. Finally they look for the practical details that often never make it online: opening hours, holiday closures, the sickness policy, how allergies are handled. When all of that is on the site, parents show up to the visit with real questions instead of starting from scratch.
How should a CPE explain enrolment and its waiting list?
In Quebec, CPEs and subsidized daycares enrol children through La Place 0-5, the government's single registration window. A CPE website does not need its own waiting list. It explains the process, links to La Place 0-5 and says what else a parent can do, such as ask for a visit. When a daycare handles its own requests, the form sticks to the child's name, date of birth, desired start date and the parent's contact details. The site says who sees that information and how long it is kept, as Law 25 requires. A clear page on this saves a lot of calls asking "am I still on your list?"
Can a daycare post photos of children on its website?
Parents like seeing activities, but a photo of a recognizable child is personal information. Posting a face takes parental consent, and parents can withdraw that consent at any time. The simplest approach is to show no identifiable faces on the public site: hands painting, crafts, kids seen from behind in the yard, tidy rooms. Everyday photos with faces belong in a private channel for the parents of each group. Image metadata gets stripped too, since it can reveal where a photo was taken. A school applies the same care to class and field trip photos.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions: Education
What should a CPE website include?
The Ministère de la Famille's educational program, Accueillir la petite enfance, and how the team applies it day to day. Add a typical day, the age groups, menus, opening hours and the steps to enrol through La Place 0-5.
Can a private daycare manage its waiting list on its website?
It can take requests through a short form if it handles its own enrolment. The form asks only for what is needed and explains how the information is protected. Parents get a confirmation so they know the request went through.
Should a daycare post its menus online?
Parents check that page often. The site can show the weekly menu alongside the copy posted on site, with allergens marked. Updating it takes a few minutes each week.
Is Garderie Les Petits Pas a real daycare?
No. It is a demo site with a made-up name, built to show an animated home page and a typical day told like a story. No photos of real children appear on it.
How much does a site like these cost, and how long does it take to go live?
The price is set after a no-commitment scoping meeting, based on the number of pages, the languages, the copy to write and features like booking or an online store. A simple showcase site goes live quickly; an online store or a client portal takes longer. If you have a fixed date, we build the schedule around it.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain name is registered in your name, the copy, images and analytics are yours, and the code is handed over on request.
