Who is Courageous Hearts Preschool and Childcare Center?
Introducing Todd and Marcia Brookhiser, the visionary owners of a captivating preschool located in the heart of Milton, WI. They have meticulously created an educational haven that embraces a Christ-centered philosophy, blending spiritual growth with academic excellence. With a strong desire to establish lasting connections with their beloved students, the Brookhisers are dedicated to imparting wisdom and fostering cherished bonds.
What were the issues that were keeping their website from achieving its goals of having a website that made parents want to bring their children to Courageous Hearts Preschool and Childcare Center?
Some of the issues were:
- The website was oversimplified.
- There were no images that showed that this was a school website.
- The website wasn’t designed for children.

The Before and After
Although well-intentioned, before the makeover, the website fell short of evoking the magic and warmth that parents and children seek in a preschool experience, leaving them feeling uninspired and disengaged.

There was a desire to infuse the website with the inviting charm and enthusiasm that reflects the genuine care and dedication found within the preschool’s walls.

The website boasts a clean and user-friendly design, carefully tailored to cater to both parents and children. Furthermore, the front page prominently features essential contact information, enabling parents to easily inquire about Courageous Hearts Preschool and Childcare Center, fostering seamless communication, and the exploration of enrollment options.
