Daycare Names

[twotrue]

My business class starts next week and I've been instructed to come to class with a business name in mind. I don't have to end up using the name but I would like to start with something that has potential. Got ideas? TIA!

yay for business class! you move quickly lady!

I like daycare names that aren't too cutesy or kiddish (ie. Playful Pals Daycare)- there's one in my area called The Learning Corridor. I love that.

Tell us more about the business you anticipate. It will be a center, right (not in-home)? What age range? Do you want it to be location-specific, or a name you could move to anywhere?

What's your favorite thing about kids?

Just one request: no extraneous letter ks (or other cutesy misspellings). There is nothing I hate more than Kids Korner. I know you wouldn't ever do this, I just have to put it out there in the universe how badly this bothers me.

It isn't cute or creative, it makes you look like an idiot.

Ok, so, my mom started a school and I'll PM you the name.

It will be a center.
Age range will be birth - kindergarten. I want the kids to be able to stay in one place until school age.

Probably not location specific in case we move (or franchise at that point).

It will be more than just 'daycare' so I'm trying to avoid that word. There will definitely be an emphasis on learning but overall I just want it to feel like home, comfy, happy, warm.

The place that E went to (which has the age range and type of care you are thinking) has the words Day School in their name. I'll PM you the full name... I liked the fact that it did not include daycare because it was really so much more than that.

I googled so many names and they were taken. So here is one I thought of, "Sprouts to Tots Educational Center"

there is a "Kiddie Kollege" near me. Puke.

I like XYZ School (ie. The Goddard School, The Mulford School, etc.) It just sounds like it is a quality school and not a place to stick your kids.

Will your school have a theme? If so, you could build your name around that (Reggio, Montessori, Global Citizenship, ect). Also, add 'academy' to pretty much anything and its sounds fancy (Discovery Academy?).

There's a nice daycare near my work called Tu.tor Time - and I just learned they're a big chain. I don't love the name though. I agree with 2brides XYZ school statement - partially because my nephews go to one of those and it's an awesome place.

I think it's okay to get creative so long as things are spelled properly.

Not that my creative juices are flowing right now but I like Little Hands Academy.

I don't have any ideas, but I will echo the sentiments of no weird spellings, avoid cutesy, strive for classy, and make it easy to remember. As someone who has created a business name, it is hard, but when you figure it out, you'll know it's "right."

I'm so excited for you!
