How to publicize your daycare on BPN

  • Your profile page 
    • When you post an announcement, you'll be asked for your profile page. Type this: ______ 
    • Update your profile page here: _______    
    • You can ask parents who are BPN subscribers to post a review of you at that link. 
       
  • Openings at your daycare? Add yourself to one of our website listings. Your post will be published for 30 days and you can post again after that if you still have openings. There are two listings: 
    1.  "Preschools & Daycares with Current Opening"  This is our main listing for all preschools, daycares, and childcare centers. New posts from this listing are included in the Announcements newsletter (mailed every Friday). Click 'Post a message' on our website and choose 'Post an Announcement' - Announcement Type="Preschools & Daycares with Immediate Openings"
    2. "Daycares with Openings"  This listing is for daycares only. New posts are included in the Childcare newsletter (mailed every Sunday). The Childcare newsletter targets parents with children ages 0-3. Click 'Post a message' on our website and choose 'Offering Childcare' - Post Type="Daycare with openings"
       
  • Weekly Newsletters: The newsletters automatically include new posts that came in during the previous 7 days. Note your post will appear in the newsletter only once (when it is new) but it will be published on our website until it expires, as explained above.  For the Announcements newsletter, post by Thursday. For the Childcare newsletter, post by Saturday.
     
  • Contact parents who are currently looking for childcare.  Go to "Parents Seeking Childcare" on our website (click here) to see a list of parents who are currently looking for childcare. Filter the list by city, language, and more. To send them a message, scroll to the end of their post and look for the 'Contact' link.
