Daily updates and simple payments are what parents notice most.
Pre-school-year campaigns
Reaching parents a few months before term starts fills the places that matter most.

Questions
When should I contact daycare centers?
In late spring, before the autumn enrolment push, and during nap time in the middle of the day.
What do daycare centers usually say when you pitch them?
They often say "We have a waiting list." Then offer to save time instead, with better billing, parent updates or waiting-list management, rather than more enquiries.
Can I find all the daycare centers in a city?
Yes. Daycares are spread across residential areas, including home-based ones, so deep search, which covers the city area by area, finds more of them. It uses more searches because it finds more.
Can I check a list of daycare centers before I reach out?
Yes. Home daycares open and close often, so verify first: every email and phone number is checked and closed centers are removed.
Is it legal to email daycare centers?
Usually, if it's relevant to their work, says who you are and offers an opt-out. Keep your email about the center's business and never ask for details about the children in their care. Check the rules where you sell (CAN-SPAM, CASL, PECR, the Spam Act). General information, not legal advice.
