Recent trends indicate there is an exodus of preschoolers into Pre-K programs in the public school, which is having an impact on private child care providers. Discuss two ways to direct internal marketing efforts to those families most likely to move their 4 year old to a local public school to keep preschoolers in child care facilities
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?Helping parents understand that their child will have a comparable quality preschool experience in the center’s full-day program requires individual and group meetings, distribution of written materials, and positive word-of-mouth about your current preschool program. Begin discussions early with families of children who are between three and four years of age when they are in beginning thoughts about future kindergarten possibilities. Give constant messages about the comparison between developmentally appropriate programs where learning occurs through play rather than a teacher directed, academic focused curriculum. Distribute research results on the benefits of play. Arrange informal open house sessions, morning coffees, or afternoon snack sessions that provide time for parents to discuss the benefits of a center-based preschool over the institution of public school.?
