How to Name a Daycare Business

When you’re ready to start your daycare, one of the first steps you need to take is creating a brand name. Daycares can be a bit difficult to come up with when you want to be original. The best daycare business names make it clear what your company does and who it serves.

Getting creative with daycare names can help yours to stand out, too. Whether you want to showcase a service you offer that others do not or you want to make your daycare appealing to parents with babies, it’s all in the name. A good starting point is to include things like your city name, your first or last name, or just a playful set of words.

Step #1: Determine Goals for Your Daycare

Your business’s name is the very first connection you will make with prospective customers. It’s important that you define your organization’s mission, vision, values, and target audience as much as possible. 

Before naming your venture, ensure that you fully understand exactly how you will run your company. Familiarize yourself with the industry and determine what it takes to start a successful business by conducting thorough research.

Here are a few factors to keep in mind when launching and naming a daycare:

  • Do you like playing with kids? Do you have children of your own? A day care is an excellent business for parents who wish to spend more time with their own children, while at the same time helping other parents by providing high quality child care.
  • Child care providers are responsible, friendly, patient, and good communicators. Taking care of multiple children is a real challenge; it takes a special person who can give adequate attention to every child in his or her care.
  • Your main clientele will be working parents who have young children and who need someone to help watch their kids during the day. Depending on your location and the specific needs of your local community, you may also wish to cater your services to a certain demographic.

Step #2: Begin Brainstorming

We’ve shared some brainstorming techniques that you can use to get your creative juices flowing.

  • Jot down some specific keywords for your daycare business name. Here are a few examples:
    • Childcare
    • Preschool
    • Children’s Center
    • Daycare
  • Think of adjectives that would describe your daycare and the types of products offered to derive inspiration. Here are some examples:
    • Little
    • Montessori
    • Children
    • Bouncy
    • Early
  • Experiment with other branding and brainstorming techniques.

We’ve used general brainstorming techniques to share several creative and catchy business name ideas for a daycare.

Creative Approaches to Naming a Daycare

The following are helpful tips to help you find a unique business name that is relevant to you and/or your industry:

Capitalize on Business Location

The name of your city is one great way to brand your business. You can also think of nicknames that define what your city or state is well known for.

Connecting Through Emotion

Words that evoke a certain emotion, reminders of personal experiences, and travel memories may be good for branding. 

Emotion

Personal Experiences

Travel

Pun Fun, Word Combination, and Alliteration

Make brainstorming fun by creating puns, combining two relevant words and/or concepts, or by using same letter and sound repetition.

Word Combination

Alliteration

Short and Sweet

Oftentimes, simply using one word for a business name can be more powerful and engaging for clients/customers. Carefully consider your brand and brainstorm adjectives and synonyms that describe your day care. For instance, if you own a daycare, ask yourself how you would describe what you’re offering (e.g., trust, care, education, etc.). Consider how you want your customers to feel (happy, satisfied, pleased, etc.), and so on.

Naming your business can be as easy as just using your own name. You can also incorporate names of friends and family members.
