Best Practices for Childcare Galleries

  • Show diverse activities—mealtimes, learning centers, outdoor play, circle time
  • Include photos of staff interacting with children (with proper permissions)
  • Keep captions brief but descriptive: "Our shaded playground features age-appropriate equipment"
  • Use consistent image sizes for a polished, professional appearance
  • Enable lightbox view so parents can see facility details clearly
