An open house is your chance to shine! It introduces families to your space, your staff, and your program in a welcoming and professional way.
1. Plan the Logistics
Pick a weekend or early evening time. Send invitations via social media, email, and parent referrals.
2. Prepare Your Space
Clean thoroughly and set up key areas like circle time, play centers, and nap stations. Add signs to explain what happens in each area.
3. Greet Families at the Door
Have a sign-in sheet, welcome packet, and name tags. Offer a tour and introduce your team.
4. Highlight What Sets You Apart
Use visuals to show your curriculum, daily schedule, and parent communication tools. Offer a slideshow or handouts.
5. Offer Incentives
Provide exclusive discounts for families who register during the open house or schedule a follow-up tour.
6. Follow Up
Send a thank-you email and enrollment info within 48 hours.
A successful open house builds trust and turns visitors into enrolled families.
