Daycroft Montessori School Adds Parent-Friendly Features to Website

Ann Arbor, MI (September 1, 2010) – Daycroft Montessori School of Ann Arbor has upgraded its website to provide an online application to the school.

Parents can also now select from Daycroft’s after-school enrichment programs and register their children in online mode.

The site upgrades are the work of DesignHub, Inc. (www.design-hub.com) of Saline. DesignHub provides Daycroft with a range of creative and marketing services. The firm designed and developed the school’s award-winning website.

Earlier this year, DesignHub upgraded Daycroft’s website to include online registration for the school’s Summer Day Camp programs.

Fun and Educational for Students, Helpful to Parents

Daycroft’s after-school enrichment programs enhance students’ educational experience while lightening the childcare load on busy parents. Programs include private piano and guitar lessons, Homework Club, vehicle engineering and building, Yoga for Kids, running, the UpBeats jump rope team, Black Belt Academy, Girlz Club, art, dance (jazz and ballet), Spanish, and chess.

All programs take place at Daycroft’s Elementary Campus at 1095 N. Zeeb Rd., except Black Belt Academy, which is offered at both the Elementary Campus and Daycroft’s Preprimary Campus at 100 E. Oakbrook Dr.

Details on Daycroft’s after-school enrichment programs – including age brackets, days, times, and fees – are available at www.daycroft.org/curriculum/enrichmentprograms.html.
