The two most effective ways of communicating for a daycare event are email and poster, because they will be informed formally and the posters will be up in the porch for them to see for a daily reminder.

I would send our reminders of our upcoming events through email & text messages to parents and guardians.

This is the most effective way to let parents & guardians know ahead of time or the day of the event

Two effective communication is posters around town and in the centre and emails for the day care event,

Posters create community awareness, while emails provide clear and detailed information directly to families. Using both methods increases the chances that everyone hears about the event and feels invited.

When planning a daycare event, the “best” communication isn’t just about sending a message- it’s about ensuring it actually gets seen by busy, overstretched parents. You can do the “Door & Cubby” method cause parents are mostly focused on their child’s care so maybe leaving a bright flyer in front at the door or in the children’s cubby so then they can see it when its drop off and pick up time. Another way is parents almost have their phones within reach so maybe sending a SMS or through the daycare app if the daycare has apps for parents such as “HiMama’ or “procare” Or whatever app that the daycare may have.

1) Direct Parent Messaging (App or Text)

Examples:

Brightwheel
ClassDojo
Remind

Why it’s effective:

Immediate delivery – Parents see notifications instantly on their phones.
High open rates – Text/app alerts are far more likely to be opened than emails.
Two-way communication – Parents can ask questions quickly.
Easy reminders – You can send follow-ups the day before or morning of the event.

This method works best for:

Date/time reminders
Permission slips
Last-minute changes
RSVP tracking

2) Visual Reminders (Flyers + Bulletin Boards at Pickup/Drop-off)

Why it’s effective:

Repetition builds memory – Parents see it daily during drop-off and pickup.
Reaches less tech-active families – Not everyone checks apps regularly.
Captures attention emotionally – Photos, theme colors, and child artwork make events feel exciting.
Children reinforce it – Kids see the poster and remind parents.

This method works best for:

Spirit days
Holiday celebrations
Fundraisers
Themed events

Why These Two Together Work Best

Using both methods covers:

✔ Digital convenience
✔ Visual reinforcement
✔ Different parent communication preferences
✔ Multiple reminders (which increases attendance)

Research in early childhood settings consistently shows that multi-channel communication increases parent engagement and turnout compared to using just one method.

I find the two most effective ways of communication is emails or in person.

Emails you have on record so parents/staff remember or can go back

In person is nice too because you can tell them and get their reaction, sometimes telling the parent/parents in person helps them understand better.
