Parents looking for a childcare were often use recommendations from friends or people they meet on the play ground. Well, wouldn’t it be more efficient to gather those information on a website. That’s why one Vancouver mom decided to do. Theresa Lalonde has that story.
When Karen Yong Chester started to looking for daycare, she went online and was surprised at the lack of information.
“Besides the family and their friends, the school and the daycare is gonna be the most important influence on their lives.”
Chester reacted to the lack of information by creating her own website. The aim of this website is to take the chatting between parents on the play ground and the recreation center online. Theshortylist will offer the information on childcare, the number of children in daycares, teacher child ratio, for school, test scores, satisfaction surveys and other public data. The most important thing for Chester will be the parent input.
“And five them more new wants to description of the schools and daycares their children are going to.”
“When I moving to Canada, that wasn’t in my, who were something I thought I was gonna be struggling that much about daycare.”
“Prenon experience is one of the best way to figure out what parts doesn’t work.”
“It’s good for other parents to know what kinds of condition in daycares, because it’s hard to even find a spot to put your kids into a daycare.”
Critics say daycares and schools shouldn’t be reviewed like a restaurant, where parents can pick them apart.
“I think that the childcare is much more important than a plate of pasta. It far important to rely on an anonymous posting on a website.”
Chester says theshortylist won’t be a ranking site, there’ll be no stars given, just information and comment, so parents feel less glandered and anxious when making their choice. She says similar site exist in UK and US.
