Automate Daycare Enrollment & Parent Support with AI
Stop losing $2,500/month per empty spot. Our AI chatbots integrate with Procare and Brightwheel to manage waitlists and answer parent questions 24/7.
Daycare directors spend up to 15 hours a week on repetitive inquiries regarding tuition rates, teacher-child ratios, and spot availability. In an industry where a single vacant spot can cost a center between $12,000 and $30,000 in annual lost revenue, speed of response is the primary differentiator for enrollment success. Most parents choose the first center that provides a professional, immediate response to their inquiry.
Beyond enrollment, administrative staff are often overwhelmed by the manual data entry required for compliance documentation and waitlist management across platforms like HiMama or ChildcareCRM. Our AI solutions bridge the gap between initial parent interest and successful enrollment, ensuring your classrooms stay at maximum capacity while maintaining strict adherence to state licensing requirements and ratio standards.
Problems We Solve
High Lead Attrition
Parents often move to the next center on Google if they don't get an immediate response. Our AI provides instant answers to tuition and availability questions 24/7.
Waitlist Management Chaos
Manually tracking child aging and classroom transitions is error-prone. The AI intelligently categorizes leads by age group and desired start date, syncing directly with your CRM.
Front-Desk Interruption
Directors are frequently pulled away from classroom observations to answer basic questions about holiday schedules or meal plans. The bot handles these FAQs autonomously.
Manual Data Entry
Eliminate the need to manually move lead info from website forms to Procare or Kangarootime. The AI captures and pushes data automatically via secure API integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the chatbot work with Brightwheel or Procare?
Yes, we use Zapier or direct API connections to ensure that any lead captured by the AI is automatically populated into your Brightwheel, Procare, or ChildcareCRM dashboard.
Can the AI handle specific questions about our curriculum?
Absolutely. During the setup phase, we ingest your parent handbook, curriculum guides, and tuition sheets so the AI can answer specific questions about your Montessori, Reggio Emilia, or play-based programs.
How does it handle state-mandated teacher-child ratios?
The bot is programmed with your specific center's capacity and state ratio requirements. It will not suggest availability for age groups that are currently at their legal limit.
Is parent and child data secure?
Security is our priority. We use industry-standard encryption and do not store sensitive health records or Social Security numbers within the chatbot interface.
What happens if a parent has a complex emergency?
The AI is designed to recognize urgent keywords. In these cases, it immediately provides your emergency phone number and can trigger an SMS alert to the Director for human intervention.
How long does it take to get the chatbot live?
Typically, we can have a fully trained, industry-specific AI chatbot integrated into your daycare website within 10 to 14 business days.
