Canberra Childcare Advertising

If you operate a childcare service in the ACT, you already know how important it is to connect with local families who are actively searching for care. Our Canberra Childcare Advertising service is designed to do exactly that — place your service directly in front of parents at the moment they are making decisions about enrolment, availability, and care options.


Why Use Canberra Childcare Advertising?

Parents visit Canberra Childcare because they are looking for trusted, reliable, and high-quality providers in their community. By advertising your centre, family day care, or early learning service, you ensure that your business is visible where it matters most: on a platform dedicated solely to childcare in Canberra. Unlike large national directories that list thousands of providers from across Australia, our focus is 100% local. That means your service is highlighted directly to the families who are most likely to enquire, visit, and enrol.

  • Targeted exposure – Reach parents who are actively searching for childcare, not just casually browsing online.
  • Local focus – Showcase your service to Canberra families who want nearby care options that fit their daily routine.
  • High-intent audience – Our visitors are parents ready to take action — they want to enquire, book tours, and secure placements.
  • Community credibility – Being listed demonstrates that you are part of the trusted Canberra childcare network.

By choosing Canberra Childcare Advertising, you put your service at the centre of the decision-making process, ensuring parents see your brand at the moment they are weighing their options.


Canberra Childcare Advertising Options

We provide a flexible range of advertising options to suit the needs of different services. Every childcare provider in the ACT is eligible for a free standard listing, which includes your service name, address, and contact details. However, many operators choose to upgrade their listing for greater visibility and stronger results. Our advertising options include:

Premium Listings – Appear at the top of search results, giving your service maximum visibility and priority placement. Add additional images, detailed descriptions, provide a list of your services so families can better understand what you offer.

Free Listings – A simple profile page with your address and contact number.

Boosted Listings – A more complete profile page showcasing your service’s fees and vacancies, photos, links, and an introduction to parents.

A Premium Listing on Canberra Childcare also includes listing on Child Care GuideA national resource for families researching childcare, subsidies, and quality standards. Your service appears in both the local Canberra directory and relevant state/national pages, with:

  • Priority placement
  • Photos
  • Direct enquiry and booking links
  • Enhanced profile and visibility

This dual exposure helps you reach families comparing options beyond Canberra, improves visibility via internal linking across high-traffic guides (e.g., CCS, NQF, approaches), and supports your local SEO with authoritative backlinks.

Each upgrade is designed to be simple, affordable, and highly effective at putting your service in front of families when they are comparing local childcare options. Whether you want to increase general awareness or promote specific programs, Canberra Childcare Advertising offers the tools to make it happen.


Reach Families When It Counts

Parents visiting Canberra Childcare are not just browsing the internet — they are mums, dads, and carers with an immediate need: finding a safe, nurturing, and convenient place for their children. That means every listing, especially featured and enhanced profiles, is viewed by families who are ready to act. By promoting your service here, you place your name at the top of their shortlist and increase the likelihood of enrolment.

Whether you operate a small family day care with a handful of placements or manage a larger early learning centre, Canberra Childcare Advertising ensures your service is clearly presented, easy to find, and positioned in front of the right audience at the right time.


Join the Local Network

Canberra Childcare is more than a directory — it is a community resource designed to connect families and providers. All services in our listings must meet requirements under the National Quality Framework (NQF), which ensures that Australian childcare centres and family day care educators deliver safe, high-quality education and care.

For providers, this means your advertising isn’t just about visibility — it also shows families that your service operates within nationally recognised standards. If you’re new to operating a service, you can learn more about NSW early childhood regulations and approvals through the Department of Education.

We also understand that many providers want to highlight affordability for families. Linking your service information with government support like the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) can reassure parents about costs and increase enrolment enquiries.

Get started today and make sure your childcare service is seen by the families who are actively looking. Contact us to learn more about how easy and affordable it is to take advantage of Canberra Childcare Advertising and start connecting with the parents who need you most.

Claim Your Existing Listing

If you are an established childcare centre or registered family day care provider in the ACT, chances are your service already has a free listing in the directory. To make things easier, we’ve pre-created listings for many recognised providers so that parents can quickly find accurate contact information.

As the authorised operator, you can search for your service in our directory and claim the listing as your own. When your service was first added, you should have received a welcome pack containing a unique claim code. This code allows you to verify your ownership and take control of the listing.

Once claimed, you’ll be able to update and expand your profile, add images, highlight programs, and upgrade to one of our advertising tiers for greater visibility. Claiming your listing ensures that families see the most accurate, up-to-date information about your childcare service.
