Our Custom-Built Dashboards Tailored for Your Preschool
With over 50 successful deployments in early childhood education, we've helped preschools like yours turn chaotic data into a unified system that drives student-centered decisions.
Why Choose Us
We get it—preschool operations are a whirlwind of tiny hands, creative chaos, and constant growth moments. That's why we don't hand you a generic template. Instead, we build dashboards from the ground up, integrating your existing tools like lesson planning software, parent portals, and attendance trackers. Picture this: a single view showing how many toddlers hit their fine motor goals this week, or alerts when a child's engagement dips. We've seen this before in centers just like yours, where directors spent hours piecing together reports. Our approach eliminates that, creating scalable insights that adapt as your programs expand. No more data silos. Just clear, empathetic support for the heart of your work: nurturing young minds.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Informed Decisions That Boost Student Outcomes
Real-Time Visibility into Child Progress
Real-Time Visibility into Child Progress: No more waiting for end-of-month reports. Watch developmental milestones unfold live, like seeing 85% of your 3-year-olds mastering color recognition in under two weeks via integrated ASQ tracking. This data empowers teachers to adjust Reggio-inspired activities on the spot, leading to 30% faster skill acquisition across cohorts, as measured by pre- and post-assessment scores.
Streamlined Parent Engagement and Retention
Streamlined Parent Engagement and Retention: Share personalized progress snapshots with families effortlessly through secure portals. We've helped preschools reduce churn by 25% by spotting at-risk enrollments early—like when attendance patterns signal a family might leave due to missed social-emotional milestones—and intervening with targeted updates within 24 hours. It's like giving parents a window into their child's joyful journey, building trust and loyalty while aligning with family engagement goals in early learning frameworks.
Effortless Compliance and Funding Optimization
Effortless Compliance and Funding Optimization: Track licensing metrics and subsidy requirements automatically, ensuring you're always audit-ready for NAEYC or state visits. One client avoided a $5,000 fine by catching incomplete immunization logs in real time during a quarterly review. Plus, accurate headcount data maximizes your state funding under programs like CCDF—turning potential shortfalls into stable revenue for expanding play-based learning initiatives over the next fiscal year.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, I was buried in Excel sheets trying to track nap schedules and DRDP skill assessments for 120 kids across our mixed-age classrooms. Their dashboard cut my reporting time from 15 hours a week to just 2, and we finally saw why our literacy circle time wasn't clicking—turns out it was the afternoon slot conflicting with outdoor play. Enrollment's up 18% this year because parents love the weekly updates on emergent writing progress."
Maria Gonzalez
Center Director, Little Sprouts Preschool (NAEYC-Accredited, Serving Ages 2-5)
"We run three sites with a Montessori-integrated curriculum, and coordinating teacher observations was a nightmare using scattered forms. The custom setup they built pulls data from our Teaching Strategies Gold app and shows us exactly which kids need extra support in social play during group circles. Last quarter, we improved group activity participation by 40%, and staff morale is through the roof—no more guesswork in planning peer interactions."
James Patel
Multi-Site Owner, Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center (Focus on Inclusive Education)
"As a small nonprofit preschool, funding reports for Head Start compliance were killing us with manual entry errors. AIQ's dashboard automates everything, flagging when we're short on documented parent-teacher conferences for our ELL families. We reclaimed 10 hours a month and secured an extra $8,000 in grants last fall through better-documented outcomes. It's like having an extra admin without the salary, freeing us to focus on bilingual story times."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing preschool software?
We start by auditing your current setup—whether it's Procare, Brightwheel, or even custom spreadsheets—and build seamless, two-way integrations using robust APIs. For instance, attendance data flows automatically from your check-in system to the dashboard, updating in real time without manual entry. This eliminates silos, like when parent notes in one app don't sync with teacher assessments in another. We've done this for over 30 preschools, ensuring compatibility with tools common in early education while handling unique customizations, such as tracking bilingual progress for diverse classrooms. The result? A unified view that saves your team hours each week, letting them focus on play-based learning rather than data wrangling. Setup typically takes 4-6 weeks, with minimal disruption to daily operations.
What specific metrics can we track for student outcomes in a preschool setting?
Our dashboards are tailored to early childhood benchmarks, tracking everything from developmental milestones like gross motor skills (e.g., jumping or stacking blocks) to social-emotional indicators such as sharing during group play. You can monitor attendance rates per child, with breakdowns by age group—say, 95% for toddlers versus 88% for pre-K—to spot patterns tied to nap schedules or weather. We also include curriculum-specific KPIs, like the percentage of kids meeting literacy goals through storytime activities, and parent engagement scores from feedback surveys. For scalability, it forecasts enrollment based on historical data, helping you plan for summer camps. Unlike generic tools, we incorporate education standards like NAEYC guidelines, providing visual charts that make it easy for directors to see if interventions, like extra sensory play, are boosting outcomes by 20-30%.
How secure is the data in these custom dashboards for sensitive child information?
Security is paramount in preschools, where we're dealing with FERPA-protected data on young children. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls—so teachers see only their classroom's progress, while directors get the full overview—and regular audits to meet childcare regulations. For example, all parent-shared photos or assessment notes are stored compliantly, with automatic purging of outdated records after a child's graduation. We've integrated HIPAA-like protocols for health metrics, like allergy alerts, ensuring nothing leaks during integrations. Clients appreciate the peace of mind; one center reported zero incidents post-implementation, compared to previous worries with shared Google Drives. We also provide training on data handling, empowering your staff to use insights confidently without risking privacy breaches.
Can these dashboards scale as our preschool grows from one location to multiple sites?
Absolutely—scalability is baked in from the start. We design the architecture to handle expansion, whether you're adding a second classroom or opening a new branch. For multi-site preschools, the dashboard unifies data across locations, letting you compare outcomes like potty training success rates between sites or aggregate attendance for funding reports. It auto-adjusts for increased data volume, using cloud-based frameworks that support up to 1,000+ students without slowdowns. We've helped a chain grow from two to five centers, reducing cross-site reporting from days to minutes. As your programs scale—say, incorporating after-school care—the system adapts with modular features, like adding KPI tracking for new age groups, all without rebuilding from scratch.
What kind of support do you provide after the dashboard is launched?
Launch is just the beginning. We offer 90 days of included support, including weekly check-ins to refine features based on real usage—like tweaking alerts for low-enrollment risks during flu season. Our team trains your staff via interactive sessions, covering everything from interpreting social skill trends to exporting data for accreditation reviews. Beyond that, flexible maintenance plans ensure updates for new curriculum changes or software versions, with 24-hour response for issues. Clients often say it's like having an in-house tech expert who understands preschool dynamics; one director noted how our quarterly reviews helped optimize teacher schedules, improving child-to-adult ratios by 15%. We're here to make sure the dashboard remains a reliable partner in your mission for joyful, outcome-focused learning.
How much does a custom dashboard cost for a small preschool?
Costs vary based on your specific needs, like the number of integrations or users, but for a typical small preschool with 50-100 children, expect a one-time build fee starting around $15,000-$25,000, far less than juggling multiple subscriptions long-term. This includes discovery, custom development, and launch training. Unlike ongoing SaaS fees that add up to $5,000+ yearly, you own the system outright, with optional maintenance at $500/month for updates. We've seen ROI in 6-9 months through time savings—directors reclaim 10+ hours weekly—and funding gains from better data. We provide a detailed quote after a free consultation, tailored to factors like multi-classroom tracking or parent portal depth, ensuring it fits your budget while delivering scalable value.
