Childcare Centre Signage from Architectural Signs Sydney

Important Tips When Considering Signage for Your Childcare Centre

Position your Brand with confidence with family friendly themes.

Make the facility appear welcoming - to parents and children. Good signage should provide clear direction from the street and carpark to the front door. It should give an impression of a safe location with easy access for parents.

Apart from your brand, additional signage with pictures or statements can help convey your mission in more detail that helps build the confidence amongst first time parents. Signs should encourage parents to interact with staff and the facility.

Safety...

We look at protecting your children from strangers! Simple but effective signage can brighten up your centre while providing the necessary safety warnings and viewing protection at the same time.

Good communication about rules and general safety is critical.

It is important to illustrate your position to prospective parents. Good communication is the main reason parents derive confidence in a childcare centre's ability. Signs also teach children about the concept of obeying the rules.

Consider the following examples of internal & external signs that will help communicate rules and promote a safer working environment;

• "Parent/Guardian must sign Child out on departure."
• "Wash your hands."
• "Watch for children" (car park signs).
• Define pedestrian crossings in the carpark with accompanying signage.
• Pedestrian crossings or pathways should be wide enough for 2 prams (with accompanying signage).
• Directional arrows in a carpark to help "through traffic" so vehicles enter and leave in a forward direction.
• Driveway access has warnings for pedestrians using the footpath (to cross).
• The facility branding and welcome message present in arrivals car park - in addition to being on the building main entrance.
• Drop off/pick up zones marked in the carpark.
