Parent testimonial films

Let your parents tell other parents

Short films of your current families talking about why they chose you. A parent deciding where their child will spend the week trusts another parent more than anything a centre says about itself.

Part of the partnership, or added to a centre tour video shoot. Consent forms prepared for you.

A warm moment between an educator and child at an early learning centre
What you get

Word of mouth you can share

A film per family

Sixty to ninety seconds each, with captions, music and your logo. Every film stands on its own.

Short cuts for social

Twenty to thirty second versions of each film for Instagram, Facebook and Stories. Several posts from every family.

Conversation guides

Prompts, not scripts, so parents find the stories that matter to them and say them in their own words.

The consent paperwork

Parent consent forms and child release forms, prepared before the day. Our crew hold current Working with Children Checks.

How it runs: we help you choose three to five families, film each one in a quiet corner of the centre over half a day, and edit every film around its strongest moment. You approve each one before anything is published.

Questions

What directors ask us

How do you get parents to agree to be filmed?

You know which families have had a good experience. We help you pick them, write the invitation and prepare the consent forms. What usually holds a centre back is making the ask, and we help with that.

Do we need consent when children appear?

Yes. Each child who appears on screen needs a parent's written consent, and we prepare all of it. If that's hard for your families, we can film the parents on their own.

How many families can you film in one session?

Usually three to five across half a day. We can also spread them over more than one visit to fit around families' schedules.

Often filmed together: a centre tour video and educator spotlights. See it in practice: Felicity's story, one parent on why she chose her centre.
