The "Lead Leakage" Problem
Prospective parents slip through the cracks during peak open house seasons, with up to 40% of inquiries from families exploring Montessori or Reggio Emilia programs going unanswered
Manual follow-ups after virtual tours eat into precious teaching prep time
Generic CRMs fail to track family-specific needs like sibling discounts, IEP accommodations, or bilingual program eligibility
Disjointed tools cause missed communications about waitlist updates, curriculum highlights like STEM integration, or enrollment deadlines for kindergarten readiness programs
Overwhelmed staff chase leads instead of focusing on child-centered curriculum development
Overwhelmed staff chase leads instead of focusing on child-centered curriculum development, such as designing play-based learning modules or teacher training workshops

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in emails from parents asking about availability for our toddler program, and half got lost in the shuffle during open house week. Now, the custom CRM auto-schedules tours and follows up with details on our Montessori methods and sibling discount options. We've enrolled 12 more kids this semester alone, and my admin team's actually getting time for updating our play-based curriculum plans."
Sarah Jenkins
Director, Little Sprouts Preschool
"I was skeptical about custom software, but after switching from our old generic system, lead tracking feels effortless for our after-school program. The AI flags hot leads based on how parents interact with our virtual tour videos of the STEM lab, and we've cut no-shows by 40% over the past quarter. It's like having an extra staff member who never sleeps, especially during back-to-school chaos."
Mike Rivera
Enrollment Coordinator, Bright Futures Early Learning Center
"Our preschool serves a diverse community, and the old tools couldn't handle notes on bilingual needs, allergy alerts, or IEP requirements for special education. AIQ's system integrates everything seamlessly with our curriculum tracking, and we've seen a real uptick in families sticking with us for kindergarten prep—enrolling 15 additional students in the last six months. Implementation took just three weeks, and it's already paying off in smoother parent communications."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom CRM differ from standard tools like Salesforce for preschools?
Standard CRMs are built for broad industries, often overwhelming preschool teams with irrelevant features and steep learning curves. We craft yours specifically for early education—think auto-reminders for toddler program tours or lead scoring based on family values like play-based learning. No generic fields; everything aligns with your workflow, from capturing sibling enrollment notes to integrating with child assessment tools. We've seen teams save 20 hours a month because it's intuitive, not a battle to customize. Plus, as builders, we ensure it's owned by you, scalable without subscription hikes.
What if our preschool is small—does custom development make sense for us?
Absolutely, especially for small preschools where every lead counts toward filling those cozy classrooms. We start lean, focusing on core needs like inquiry tracking and follow-up automation, without the bloat of enterprise software. For a 50-student center, we might build in AI to prioritize local families inquiring about part-time slots, helping you enroll faster without extra hires. Our process is collaborative and cost-effective, often paying for itself in one enrollment cycle through higher conversion rates. You're not alone; we've tailored solutions for startups with just 10 families, scaling as you grow.
How long does it take to build and launch the CRM?
We understand time is precious when you're prepping for nap schedules and parent nights. Typically, from our initial discovery call to full launch, it's 6-8 weeks—faster than you think. Week one is all about understanding your pain points, like lost leads during holiday breaks. Then, our engineers prototype key features, like automated tour booking, with your input. Testing ensures it fits seamlessly, and we provide training so your team hits the ground running. Post-launch, we optimize based on real data, ensuring it supports your student-focused goals without disrupting daily operations.
Can the system handle sensitive family information securely?
Security is non-negotiable in early education, where trust builds lifelong bonds. We design your CRM with end-to-end encryption, role-based access (so teachers see only class-relevant leads), and compliance with laws like COPPA and FERPA right from the start. Features include audit logs for every interaction and automatic data purging for inactive inquiries. We've helped preschools avoid breaches that could erode parent confidence, integrating secure APIs with your existing systems. It's peace of mind: families know their details, from allergy notes to enrollment preferences, are protected as carefully as their children are in your care.
What kind of support do you offer after the CRM is built?
We're in it for the long haul, just like your commitment to nurturing young minds. After launch, you get dedicated support for the first three months, including weekly check-ins to refine AI behaviors, like tweaking lead scores for summer program interest. Our team monitors performance, fixing issues proactively and training your staff on new features. Beyond that, optional maintenance ensures scalability as your preschool expands—perhaps adding modules for after-school leads. We've seen outcomes like 15% enrollment growth sustained over years because we treat it as your owned system, not a rented afterthought.
How do you ensure the CRM improves student outcomes?
Everything we build ties back to what matters most: creating space for meaningful learning. By automating admin tasks, like chasing down application forms, your team focuses on curriculum enhancements, such as sensory integration activities. The AI analyzes lead data to forecast class compositions, helping you balance group dynamics for better social outcomes. Preschools we've partnered with report not just higher enrollments, but improved retention because personalized outreach makes families feel valued from the start. It's all about scalable learning: efficient leads mean more resources for the children who light up your days.
