Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Both of my children and the majority of my nieces and nephews went and/or still go to Riverfront. I also was on the Board of Directors for some time. They have been amazing with all the kids in my family, and they have some of the best teachers around. My boys had the best preschool teacher there is, hands down, at this facility. I’m sad to say that she’s no longer there, but there are still a great bunch of teachers. I’d like to thank the Riverfront staff for all they’ve done for me and my family over the last eight-plus years. We love you!” – Quineisha G.

A One-of-a-Kind Child Care Provider’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation

The Riverfront Children’s Center has managed to build the kind of reputation any business owner would envy, and to learn a little more about that reputation and this one-of-a-kind business, we sat down with the Executive Director, Sue Radway.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes The Riverfront Children’s Center unique compared to the many other child care providers in Connecticut. Sue told us:

“People select us because of individual needs and the quality of our program. We teach our children to use empathy and to communicate with others and provide social-emotional development.”

When we asked what the secret is to such a solid online reputation at The Riverfront Children’s Center, Sue pointed to their diverse population and the attention they pay to the individual needs of both the children in their care and their families:

“Our reviews happen organically because of the experienced, qualified and caring staff that work in partnership with the children’s’ families.”

Making the World a Better Place by Providing Affordable, High-Quality Childcare

We also wanted to know what their mission is at The Riverfront Children’s Center and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“Our mission is to provide high-quality, affordable care for all families, so that parents can be self-sufficient and successful.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, The Riverfront Children’s Center has grown mostly through word of mouth from happy families, but they also have a strong outreach in their community, partner with other businesses and do large fund-raising activities.

It’s clear that Sue knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Hold events that engage the community, so that they can see what you do. Give back to your community, and promote your business online and within your community.”
