February 12, 2024

Macaroni KID readers look to the Business Directory to find the local summer camps, classes, and service providers their family needs. We reach thousands of families in Durham & Chapel Hill each week. Inclusion in the directory will boost your website's SEO. Let us help you connect with your target audience!

- If your business is currently listed with only basic information, submit a new directory listing. The basic version will be deleted when the new listing is approved.

- Only owners or authorized employees of the business should submit a directory listing.

- The business must be located in Durham, Chapel Hill or Carrboro (some exceptions may apply). You are welcome to email rachelc@macaronikid.com before entering your business information to clarify. 

- Our audience is local families. Macaroni KID reserves the right to refuse any listing for any reason. 

- Listings are typically reviewed and approved within 48 hours. Feel free to email us at rachelc@macaronikid.com after submission to alert us for quicker turnaround.
