I am trying to come up with a daycare name. Help me out what do you call your daycare?
I am thinking... Shelby's Home Child care, Cutie Pie's daycare, A home away from home child care.....

I would first look around at your competition. You don't want to have the same name as someone else, especially if they live close. It may confuse prospective clients, especially if the other one doesn't have a good reputation.
Then I would try to come up with something somewhat original. Good luck!

I call mine "Emily's Child Care". I'm not cutesy, nor do I think cutesy names do big favours for marketing. I don't particularly care for business names that name/label the children in care either (for example Melanie's Monkey's). Of course, that's just my opinion. One of my best friends also has a well established home daycare and has a the name I posted above and it works well for her. Just not my style.
ETA: My username here is a spin on Anne of Green Gables and is not my real name. LOL.

Its an old trick, but if you are planning on listing your child care in the phone book, with resource and referral services, anywhere really, it is alphabetical, so try names that start with A, B or C. My school starts with an S also, so I am always waaaaay down the lists. Good luck. :-)
I chose a non cutesy name to sound professional.
Mine is "My Last Name" Family Child Care- plain and simple
