With a design as equally playful and child friendly as the daycare it represents, Russell John Javier created the website for Best Start Daycare, a provider of early childhood care and education services in Alberta, Canada. With parents as the key audience, the website provides comprehensive details about the daycare's programs, facilities, and philosophy so that they can make informed decisions about their childcare needs.
Though subtle, the bold, building block-style fonts used for headings and key information add a bit of fun to the design. It’s also a clever yet indirect way to reinforce the brand's focus on early childhood education. Pair this with the fact that, as users navigate the site, playful shapes like colorful circles and semicircles move across the screen — the site almost feels like a play session too.
The website also incorporates various colors, including gold, sky blue, aquamarine, sandy brown, and shades of blue. While this might be an unconventional approach for some brands, it works exceptionally well in this context. The abundance of colors mirrors how lively and stimulating the environment of a daycare center should be.
Furthermore, the site features a dedicated gallery section showcasing images and videos of the daycare's play space. The images show well-equipped rooms with plenty of toys and learning materials. But most importantly, it provides parents with a realistic view of the facilities and allows them to assess the safety and quality of the environment.
This education website's strength lies in its ability to balance playful design elements without sacrificing essential information for parents. With the addition of clear calls to action, complete contact information, and detailed program descriptions, the Best Start Daycare does a great job of instilling confidence that the daycare is the right place for their kids.
