Why did you start writing your Web site?
Like many parents today I work and have a child who requires daycare. I had to relocate and in doing so was on a search for a good, quality daycare. Since I was relocating hundreds of miles away I tried to search the Internet to come up with some quality daycares before making a preliminary trip to where I would be moving. I came up with a few, but couldn’t find any reviews on the daycares.

I relied on the typical drop-in visits and spoke with the providers as well as some parents. I wondered why anyone hadn’t made anything available to parents to provide comments on daycares on the Internet.

What is your site about?
The goal of this site is to provide information to parents from other parents on daycares they have had experience with, good or bad.

Why do you write a site about your interest or hobby?
My hope is that this site will become a valuable tool for parents that find themselves in my situation, relocating, or any parent looking for a daycare in general for whatever reason.

Do you communicate with readers of your site?
Yes

How do you tackle the mechanics of Web design and how do you deal with your frustrations when you can't do what you envision.
Allocate enough time to plan the site in advance.

Why do you think people are interested in your interest or hobby and what you have to say about it?
Because it provides information that is beneficial to them, convenient to access and FREE!

What compels you to design beautiful pages and to write from the heart (beyond just the usual question of "why do you write a Web site?")
Well designed, clean pages communicate the message more clearly.
