Services · Website development · Childcare websites
Codeeo delivers childcare website development in New York for group child care programs permitted by the NYC Health Department, family and group family day care providers licensed by the state Office of Children and Family Services, and operators with sites in several boroughs. We build the public site that explains your programs, shows each location as it is reached on foot, by subway or by stroller, and turns a late night search into a tour on the calendar. In a city where waitlists open before babies are born, being easy to find and easy to contact matters.
The scope is your website: content, search visibility, enquiries and enrollment forms. Attendance, daily notes and billing stay in the software your classrooms already use, and the site connects to it where that helps families.

Inside the website
New York parents start early and compare carefully. Many begin searching during pregnancy, join three or four waitlists at once, and want to know whether a program is near home, near work or on the subway line between them. They ask about outdoor space because many centers have none, about whether a site sits on an upper floor, and how the program differs from free 3-K and Pre-K seats in public schools and community organizations.
Your site should answer those questions honestly and quickly. The features below are built around them, with editing tools so your director can keep openings and notices current through the school year. Nothing here replaces the conversation on the tour; it makes sure the right families book one.
Each site gets a page with the nearest subway and bus lines, stroller parking, entrance details, outdoor play arrangements and the neighborhoods families usually come from. A group with programs in Park Slope, Astoria and the Upper West Side can rank and convert in each one.
Parents can judge the daily commute before they book a tour.
Families choose a location, program and target start month, add an expected due date if the baby is not yet born, and receive a confirmation explaining how your list works. Staff see entries sorted by site and start date, with notes on sibling priority.
A waitlist you can manage instead of an inbox you dread.
If you hold a contract to offer free 3-K or Pre-K seats, a page explains how families apply through the city's process versus how they enroll in your private tuition rooms. If you do not, the page explains what your program offers alongside or instead of those seats.
Fewer misdirected applications and frustrated phone calls.
Location pages can show whether the site operates under a Health Department group child care permit or an OCFS license, with the identifiers you choose to display and a link description pointing families to the public lookup. Parents understand who oversees the program.
Clear oversight information builds early trust.
New York families speak Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, Yiddish and more. We build the languages your families use, with translated forms that record language preference so the right staff member calls back.
Families enquire in the language they are most comfortable with.
A site wide banner and status page your director can update from a phone at six in the morning, with matching email or text through your existing tools. When public schools close for snow, parents check your site first.
One clear answer on closure mornings.
Tour slots come from each director's calendar and avoid drop-off, lunch and nap. Parents choose in person or video, get a reminder the day before with entrance and buzzer instructions, and can reschedule from the email. Group tours for busy months can be capped by room size.
Directors run tours at times that suit the classrooms.
Forms collect only what is needed to call a family back, run over encrypted connections, and store data in systems you control. Medical, custody and immunization details wait for the enrollment packet inside your management software, not the public site.
Less sensitive data exposed on the public website.
Role pages explain qualifications, study plans and the clearances New York programs require, with a short application routed to the right site director. Recruiting is constant in the city, so job pages are easy to add and close.
Applicants know the requirements before they apply.
Infant, toddler, twos, preschool and after school pages built around the actual day: arrival, rooftop or park time, meals, nap and pickup windows. Photos show the space, with consent checks before any image of a child is published.
Parents arrive at tours already sold on the basics.
Who this is for
Childcare in New York spans home based providers in Queens and the Bronx, center groups across Manhattan and Brooklyn, programs inside houses of worship and community centers, and employer linked sites near office districts. Two regulators and five boroughs mean the website has to be precise about who you are and where. These four profiles show how our childcare website design in New York changes with the operator.
Head office needs one brand and shared policy content; each director needs to edit openings, events and staff profiles for their own site. We build role based editing, a location finder by borough and neighborhood, and enquiry routing so a Long Island City lead never sits in the Tribeca inbox. Reports show enquiries by site and source each month.
Each site keeps its own page, form and search presence.
Providers working from home need a professional site that builds trust without exposing their apartment address. We show the neighborhood, ages served, routine and license type, and share the exact address only after a family books a visit.
Privacy for the provider is designed in from the first page.
Programs hosted by congregations and community centers often live on a single page of the parent site. We give them a proper section or standalone site with admissions calendars, tuition assistance information and an application form, styled to sit comfortably beside the host organization.
Host organization branding and approvals are respected.
An old site that cannot be edited, fails on phones and carries broken links hurts enrollment quietly. We rebuild on a modern CMS, map every old URL to its new home so search rankings carry over, and remove plugins nobody can account for.
Redirect mapping is part of every rebuild, not an extra.
How we work together
Our team works remotely with New York clients over video calls and a shared project board. Single programs usually choose a fixed scope build. Groups often keep a retainer for new location pages, translation updates and search work around enrollment season. For custom childcare website development in New York, such as a shared waitlist across many sites or a parent portal tied to your management software, a dedicated team may suit. Cost depends on locations, languages, writing and photography, and integrations. Each phase has a written estimate, and changes are agreed before any extra work starts.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We typically use WordPress or a headless CMS with Next.js, hosted with daily backups, a firewall and monitored uptime. Integrations cover enrollment and parent tools such as brightwheel or Procare, your CRM, email platform and calendar. Admin accounts use two factor sign in, and every installed tool is documented for your records.

Usually yes, and it depends on your program type.
In New York City, group child care centers operate under a permit from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene under Article 47 of the Health Code, while family and group family day care and school age child care are regulated by the state Office of Children and Family Services. Outside the city, OCFS licenses centers too. Telling parents which body oversees your site, and how to look it up, is a simple trust signal. We word it with you so it stays accurate.
