How do I create a virtual tour?

This article reviews the process of creating and editing virtual tours.

When families are looking for care, they want to know the program they choose is clean, safe, and comfortable for their children. With health safety concerns, misaligned schedules, and other scheduling factors it can be hard or impossible to accommodate a family's in-person tour request.

Virtual tours can be a great alternative to show families around your program, give you time to connect and help families feel comfortable enrolling in your program.
