Daycare, preschool and private school websites in Wichita that answer parents' first questions.
A parent looking for care is working down a list: openings, ages, cost, ratios, licensing and the drive from work. Schools hear the same questions every fall. We build sites that answer them plainly and turn a visit into a tour booking or a waitlist spot.
The short answer
A daycare or preschool website in Wichita should state openings by age room, weekly tuition and what it covers, hours, ratios, your Kansas license and how parents can check it, and a waitlist or tour form. Kansas child care licensing moved from KDHE to the Kansas Office of Early Childhood on July 1, 2026. Point It Here builds the site for $499 plus $49 a month, or $1,449 once.
What parents do before they call
Parents of infants start looking months before they need care, sometimes before the baby is born, and they compare a long list. The first question is nearly always the same: do you have an opening for my child's age, and when. A site that answers that on the first screen saves you the call that ends in "sorry, not until spring".
Next come cost, hours against their shift, the adult-to-child ratio, meals, naps and screen time, and how pickup works. Many look up a program's licensing record before they book a tour. Private school families ask different things on a longer timeline: curriculum by grade, class size, tuition and aid, the admissions calendar, and where graduates go next.
What a childcare or school site needs
- An openings board by room or age group, with start dates, that you update from your phone
- Tuition by age, with registration and supply fees, what is included such as meals or diapers, and when it is billed
- Hours, the closure calendar and your policy for weather days
- Ratios and group sizes for each room
- A waitlist form that asks for the child's age or due date, the start date and the days needed
- Tour booking, with times that suit working parents
- Safety: secure entry, who can pick up, staff background checks, and your emergency plans
- Whether you accept Kansas child care assistance, and how to apply
- For schools: a page per grade or division, the admissions timeline and a tuition assistance explainer
Licensing, and what to say about it
Since July 1, 2026, the Kansas Office of Early Childhood licenses and inspects child care centers and child care homes. That work moved from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment under 2025's House Bill 2045, and the licensing staff moved with it. If your site or handbook still says "licensed by KDHE", it needs updating.
Put your license type and number on the site, say which agency issued it, and link parents to the state's public lookup so they can see your record themselves. A program that points parents to its own inspection history reads as one with nothing to hide. Private schools should name any accreditation they hold and the body that grants it.
Photos, privacy and safety
What parents want to see, without putting any child at risk.
We do not recommend publishing photos in which children can be identified. Show the rooms, the materials, small hands at work, the playground, and your staff, who are the people parents most want to see. Never name a child or tag a location on a child's photo. If you use any image of a child, have a signed release from the parent for that use.
Keep the website's forms short. A waitlist form needs a parent's name, contact details, the child's age and the start date. Medical information, custody papers, immunization records and anything like a Social Security number belong in your enrollment packet or your parent app, not a website form.
Parent apps, reminders and what comes later
Most centers already run Brightwheel, Procare or a similar system for check-in, daily reports and billing. We link parents to it from the site and keep the site for families who are not enrolled yet.
| Add-on | What it does for a program | Price |
|---|---|---|
| AI Front Desk | Answers "any infant openings", "what is tuition for a three-year-old", "do you take assistance" at 10 at night, and adds the family to your waitlist request | $299 setup, then $99 a month |
| Stay in Touch | Waitlist updates, open house invitations, and enrollment season reminders to families who toured | $249 setup, then $79 a month |
| Get Found on Google | Your listing, hours and closures kept right for "daycare near me" searches | $99 a month |
| Parent app | Your own app for daily reports, check-in and teacher messages, if you outgrow an off-the-shelf one | From $200 per app |
We are in Andover, in USD 385, and meet directors at their center at nap time or after pickup. Across the metro, aircraft plant, hospital and McConnell shift schedules mean early opening and late pickup hours are worth putting in the first line of the page.

Questions owners ask us
What should a daycare website include for parents?
Openings by age, tuition and what it covers, hours, ratios, your license and how to check it, safety and pickup policies, and a way to join the waitlist or book a tour. Those are the questions parents otherwise call to ask, usually during your busiest hour.
Should we post tuition on our website?
Yes, or at least a range by age. Parents are comparing a long list, and many skip programs that make them call for a price. A clear tuition table also filters out families for whom the cost will not work, before you spend a tour on them.
Who licenses child care in Kansas now?
The Kansas Office of Early Childhood, since July 1, 2026. Licensing moved there from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment under 2025's House Bill 2045. Update any page or handbook that still names KDHE as your licensing agency.
Can parents join our waitlist online?
Yes. A short form collects the parent's contact details, the child's age or due date, the start date and the days needed, and sends it to you or into your childcare software. The AI Front Desk add-on can take the same details after hours.
Can we show photos of the children on our website?
We advise against photos where a child can be identified. Show rooms, materials, hands at work and your staff instead. If you do use an image of a child, get a signed release from a parent for that specific use, and never name the child.
Do you build websites for private schools with admissions?
Yes. School sites add a page per grade or division, the admissions timeline, tuition and aid, and tour or visit-day booking. A larger site or an admissions pipeline is quoted before you sign.
How much does a daycare website cost in Wichita?
Ours is $499 to build and $49 a month for hosting and care, or $1,449 once. That includes the openings board, waitlist and tour forms. See the Wichita cost guide for how that compares.
