Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive February 2006: Business name???
I need some input. Dh and I are going to create a website this weekend for my child care. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. What's finally getting it done is we want a page on there to put pics of the new house as it's being built for family and friends to keep up with instead of us emailing pics to people (especially my mom who has dial up). Right now all my paperwork, including my business insurance and listing with the state lists my business name as M****** Family Child Care (my last name). Well, I have a problem putting my last name on my website. I do abbreviate it as MFCC. That domain is taken.
http://www.startingadaycarecenter.com/
I like "Loving Hands Family Child Care"...but that's JMHO.
Bright Beginnings would be my vote. Not too cutesy, but still child care related. It's probably taken, so maybe Learning with Love (if it's going to be a preschool type) Good luck!!
I like the shorter names too. Easier to remember
Great suggestions!!! Jewlz, you know it's funny--I saw that same list when I was looking the other day online. We must have done similiar searches! lol
Here are some names from my area:
I looked up Bright Beginnings, Happy Feet and Imagination Station. BB and IS are everywhere!!! lol I don't mind using one that's out there, but don't want to use one that's common. HF is out there, but I didn't find very many sites using it. I'm still leaning towards Loving Hands. Still thinking...
Whatever you choose, I also prefer the shorter names - they are easier to remember and seem to stand out. You want something that is short, easy to remember, and gives the message that you/your business is unique and is the best one out there for the kids, so the key words in the name should reflect that.
I like Tiny Treasures Day Care
I think one of the before / after cares here is called Elf Care. Arent you switching to that type of service? Another is called Adventure Club.
Cat's Cradle? Sounds like it's for babies though.
I am switching to only pre-k and k kids for this coming year, but don't want to limit myself with a name for that age if I decide to go back to all ages eventually. Here are the reasons I'd like something with the word Hands in the name. I do a lot of ASL with the kids. I'm actually going to try and take a course either at a local college or at the School for the Deaf and Blind in town in sign. Right now we use DVDs and the kids really love them. I'd like to put the sign for "I love you" on the background of my paperwork. I also have the saying/quote "If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart" on my bulletin board. I'd like to get a big print of it to frame and put on my wall. So right now I'm really leaning towards Loving Hands Family Child Care. I'll have to have dh check and see if LHFCC is available for a domain and I would most likely be known as Loving Hands (without the family child care on the end, although that would be the official name). So is that corney or too cutesy??? Whatever name I choose I'd like to stick with. The reason we went with MFCC in the first place was to avoid being the same as anyone else and having to worry about copyright laws. So what do you think??? Please be honest. I'd like views from what could be potential parents of kids I may watch. What would you think if you were looking for child care for YOUR child? Thanx so much for everyone's input.
Wee Ones Wonder Care ( my co. has a Wee Ones product line, so I'm partial
What do you think of Full Hearts Family Child Care (FHFCC)? I've been checking on the secretary of state (for CO) website and there's already a Happy Hands Montessori school and a Loving Hands Learning Center. I could still use my quote (think my hands are full...). I can't find any clipart for the I Love You sign I like so that's kind of a moot point. I can apply online to reserve the name. I don't know how much it cost to have it copyrighted (or whatever) and it's not necessary, but would prevent anyone else from using it or registering it so I can't use it. Any thoughts???
Hand 'Em over Child Care
Cat's Cradle.
God'iss of Love Learning & Child Care Center.
I like Full Hearts.
Kaye, Hand 'Em Over is too funny! lol I do like Hand to Heart. That's going on my list.
You have been given some really good ones. I once saw a church preschool called Bless U. I thought that was adorable. The worst name I ever saw was "Land of the Little people". It makes me think of a Horror movie for some reason.. I like Bright Beginnings the best..
What about Hands-On Learning Child Care (or Family Child Care)? Just something that caught my eye on some mail for dh.
Okay. Here's what I've got it narrowed down to.
My favorite is A Sign of Love Family Child Care. I also like Full Hearts Family Child Care and Hands-On Learning Family Child Care. You've had some great suggestions, much more creative than I could be.
Ooooh, I LOVE "A Sign Of Love Family Child Care"
Or, maybe you can take the preposition out and say "Love Signs Family Child Care"
Okay. It looks like the winner is.....Happy Hands Child Care!
I almost missed your thread!
I like HHCC!!

Dh suggested CMFCC, adding the initial of my first name. I still don't know. I really don't want one of those cutesy names that makes you want to puke! lol I've thought of things like "Little Hands Family Child Care" or something like that. Do you have any suggestions? Changing my listings with insurance and the state wouldn't be a big deal. So come on and get those creative juices flowing for me! All suggestions welcome and appreciated.
