if stirring and active, recreate thy mind." Thomas Fuller
HOW DOES YOUR SIGNAGE RATE
Sarah and Bob Boschi operated excellent child care centers in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin
area. In addition, they also mentored many other child care providers by sharing
freely of their time and their ideas. They also shared their ideas freely with
the readers of Child Care Information Exchange. In an article they
wrote for our February 1989 issue, "How to Boost Your Center's Enrollment,"
they offered the following insights on signage:
"Your center's sign is an important marketing tool. Ideally it should be
two-sided and located perpendicular to the street so that it can be read from
approaching cars. The signs we liked best were made of wood with lettering routed
in -- this made for a homey, tasteful look. We tried some lighted signs, but we
never liked them -- they looked too commercial. On our signs we put our name,
our logo, the phrase "Educational Child Care," the ages of children
served, and our phone number."
