Public Institutions (Schools, Municipalities, Park Districts, etc.): You need do nothing. We will include general information about you derived from your web site (if available) and/or other internet web sites, at no charge to you. We will also link to your web site so our visitors can get to it for more information. You may contact us (ParentLink Information Services, 1120 Heather Lane, Glen Ellyn IL 60137, 630-627-6039, educonn@aol.com) if you have any corrections, additions, or other changes you would like to make to our online listing. Note: ParentLink will not take text verbatim from a web site. Nor will we use any graphics from a site without the permission of the site owner.

1) Yellow Pages Type Listing (Name, Address, Phone). You need do nothing. We will get this information (online) and place it in the appropriate place in the Family Guide for the city where you are. There is no charge. We reserve the right to list only child- and family-related businesses and services, at our discretion.

2) School or Child Care Fact Sheet Listing. Mail (or email) a description of your program, including name, address, phone, tuition rates (omit if you don't wish them publicized), curriculum, physical features/equipment (e.g. computer lab, gym), and any other information you feel is relevant to ParentLink Information Services, 1120 Heather Lane, Glen Ellyn IL 60137, 630-627-6039, educonn@aol.com. There is no charge. Fact sheets will be made available, on a paid order or subscription basis (pricing has not been set yet) to realtors and other individuals.

3) Reciprocal Link. Open to all in categories listed above that have a web site. ParentLink allows you 30 days from the time we link to you for you to reciprocate. At the end of that period, we will send you an email if you haven't reciprocated. You will then have 15 days to either reciprocate the link or pay for a one-way link. If neither has been done after 15 days, your link will be removed. Note: ParentLink may choose to link to a site that is primarily a "links site" without requiring reciprocation (although it is always appreciated) or payment. Generally, such links should be to informative sites on child- and family-related topics, as opposed to mainly commercial sites (ParentLink reserves the right to make that judgement).

4) One-way link. For those who would like to have a link from ParentLink's web site, but can't or don't wish to reciprocate. The cost is $10 annually, payable in advance by check to ParentLink Information Services, 1120 Heather Lane, Glen Ellyn IL 60137, 630-627-6039.

5) Descriptive Online Listing and Link. 200-250 word paragraph, written by you, describing your program, product(s) or service(s). Please include your name, address, phone, email address (if applicable) and web site address (if applicable), tuition rates (if applicable and desired), professional background (if applicable), and any other information you feel is relevant. For realtors, please include geographic area served and any areas of specialization (e.g, condos, rentals, etc.). The cost of this is $25 annually, payable in advance by check to ParentLink Information Services, 1120 Heather Lane, Glen Ellyn IL 60137, 630-627-6039. The link is included at no charge, but not required, so even if you don't have a web site, you can still participate. For examples of actual listings online, please visit our web site for the Chicago area (www.northstarnet.org/regional/educonn). The school profiles page, with school listings, is www.northstarnet.org/regional/educonn/SchoolProfiles.html. The child care listings are at www.northstarnet.org/regional/educonn/ChildCareSpotlight.html. Our realtor directory is located at www.northstarnet.org/regional/educonn/RealtorDirectory.html.

Note: The 12-month period for paid listings and links from any given city will start when that city's site goes online or the beginning of the month following receipt of payment, whichever is later. ParentLink will hold all checks for a 3-day period before depositing. If you wish to cancel within that time, please email (educonn@aol.com) or call us (630-627-6039), and we will return your check. After that, we will accept refund requests for up to 30 days, minus a $5.00 charge for processing (charge applies only to listings or links that have been put online). Once a listing or link has been put online, unless within the 30-day period, there will be no refund.
