Are you missing enrollment opportunities?
When companies increase the number of landing pages on their website from 10 to 15, they get 55% more leads. Without landing pages and web forms, parents who would normally inquire about your center, decide to contact the center across the street. This is because today’s parents are from the Millennial and Gen Z generations, and they prefer easy, online options – whether they’re shopping online or looking for childcare.
Lacking an effective landing page hurts your lead generation efforts and decreases potential revenue. Avoid these consequences by using a simple, drag-and-drop editor to design landing pages that are proven to capture interest from families. Read on to see how you can craft landing pages that convert.
A landing page is a page on your website where you provide a solution or resource in exchange for someone’s contact information.
Landing pages are a vital part of marketing your childcare center. They’re used for the specific purpose of converting website visitors to leads, and eventually to an enrolled or waitlisted status. The right childcare CRM technology should give you the option to build an unlimited number of landing pages – with ease. Plus, landing pages with forms that automatically connect to your childcare experience platform software allow you to easily capture and organize new leads, coming from your website.
Landing pages are most commonly used for...
Capturing interested families from Google or social ads
Giving prospective families a place to quickly join your waitlist
Providing a way for parents to select a time slot and schedule a tour of your childcare facility
Allowing parents to inquire about specialized programs like summer camps, winter programs, potty training, and more.

There are many examples of landing pages, but the intent stays the same – capture more high-quality leads. Landing pages should be created for a particular enrollment goal and are often promoted through digital advertising platforms. Check out these landing page best practices to improve your childcare enrollment efforts:
Almost 30% of landing pages have too much copy. Your landing page should have a brief, structured flow with a headline, a unique image that adds value or expresses your goal, and a Call-to-Action (CTA - what you want prospective families to do next).
Include an enticing CTA that will encourage your website visitors to submit their inquiries. A few recommended CTA's are: 'Submit,' 'Contact,' and 'Send.' However, you can also get a little creative and spice up your website with CTA's like: 'Say Hi!' or 'Get in Touch.'
The web form embedded on your landing page should also be succinct. Forms with 5 fields or fewer often result in the highest conversion rates. It's vital to remember this could be the first time a parent is interacting with your center. Because of that, make it easy for them to inquire. Consider removing fields like 'state, city, and country' with 'zip code' to keep it simple. This provides you with the same location-based insight but removes friction for inquiring parents or guardians.
Include headers and form titles in fonts that are easy to read. Start by using a font that matches your brand and the rest of your website but try to avoid anything too decorative. Be sure to use colors that pair nicely with your logo or other website images but don’t overpower the actual content in the form.
Your landing page should be separate from the main section of your website (including your homepage). The best childcare landing pages are built for specific purposes like center events, summer camps, scheduling a tour, or joining a waitlist. Ensure all copy and images follow the singular goal of your page. For example, don’t include pictures from last year’s summer camp if you’re trying to get families to attend an open house at the center. Instead, use photos of families visiting a past open house event.
Prospective families often find your landing pages from Google or social ads, using specific keywords. Identify which words help you show up higher in the search results. Then, use those same keywords throughout the page. For example, a center located in Irving, Texas might use keyword phrases like 'daycare in Irving,' 'summer camp in North Texas,' or 'waitlist for daycare in Texas' when describing their services.
