Helping Parents and Daycare Providers Connect Online for Free

Forget traditional flyers and newspaper ads as they are quickly becoming relics of the past for daycare advertising. Nowadays, parents increasingly turn online to look for a new childcare provider. With free listings, advanced search filters, neighborhood maps, satellite overviews and easy to understand statistics, Daycare Bear helps parents and daycare providers connect.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 5, 2006 -- In an era were more than 60% of the United States population can access the Internet, numerous parents naturally begin their search for daycare online. Launched only a month ago, Daycare Bear (http://www.daycarebear.com) already stands out as a leading free online community service helping parents connect quickly with childcare providers in their neighborhood.

On the one hand, finding an opening in a high quality, yet affordable and trustworthy, daycare environment can sometimes be a daunting task for parents, especially when time is of the essence. On the other hand, childcare providers often lack the much needed visibility and resources to advertise their own openings. "Driven by its unique philosophy geared toward universal services, Daycare Bear simply bridges the gap between U.S parents and daycares by providing detailed and up-to-date information about current openings across the country" said Alexandre Plouznikoff, director of operations and co-founder of Daycare Bear. "Thanks to our dedicated search engine, we are already becoming a key online meeting place between parents and childcare providers, be they daycare centers, pre-schools, home daycares or babysitters" he added.

Any childcare provider can register with us for free to advertise current or future openings and, seeing the wonderful thank you emails we receive each week, our service is especially well received by family daycares and babysitters who really benefit from the additional exposure

Thanks to Daycare Bear, all childcare providers can now easily promote their services online. By providing a detailed description of their offerings, their schedule, a list of their current or future openings and even some pictures, they can create a free dedicated listing in a few simple steps and establish or reinforce their online presence in order to quickly fill out their openings. Daycare Bear also maintains useful statistics for childcare providers showing the reach and effectiveness of their online listing.

Parents can quickly find daycare providers with available openings in their neighborhood using various high-tech tools. For example, they can seamlessly switch between viewing all their search results as a list or on a map on which color coded markers make it easier to find a specific provider in their geographic area. They can even survey a particular neighborhood using satellite imagery. Moreover, thanks to custom advanced search filters, they can gradually refine their search in either display mode.

Daycare Bear aims to become the first stop for parents looking for short term or long term childcare by providing a useful community service without any fees, commissions or contracts. "Our users are often amazed by the unique service we provide as it is at the same time targeted, professional, easy to use and absolutely free" mentioned Nicolas Plouznikoff, co-founder of Daycare Bear and in charge of the Marketing department. "Any childcare provider can register with us for free to advertise current or future openings and, seeing the wonderful thank you emails we receive each week, our service is especially well received by family daycares and babysitters who really benefit from the additional exposure" he said.
