The "Enrollment Bottleneck" Problem
Overwhelmed by vague website inquiries from non-committed parents, such as those browsing curriculum pages without submitting contact forms
Struggling to differentiate between casual browsers and ready-to-enroll families during peak seasons like summer pre-K registration drives
Manual sorting of leads from open houses and social media eats into time for actual student nurturing
Missing out on high-fit families because generic CRM filters don't account for preschool-specific needs like Montessori curriculum preferences or sibling enrollment histories
Seasonal enrollment dips worsen when staff chase every lead equally, ignoring intent signals from email opens or demo requests
Seasonal enrollment dips worsen when staff chase every lead equally, ignoring intent signals from email opens on virtual open house invites or demo requests for parent-teacher conferences

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Scalable Enrollment Without the Guesswork
Higher Enrollment Rates for Student Success
Higher Enrollment Rates for Student Success: Imagine your classrooms filling faster with families genuinely excited about your play-based learning approach. Our system scores leads based on behaviors like repeated website visits to tuition pages or quick responses to newsletter sign-ups on developmental milestones. Preschools see a 30% uplift in conversions within the first enrollment cycle, freeing staff to nurture relationships that drive long-term student outcomes like kindergarten readiness.
Streamlined Workflows for Busy Teams
Streamlined Workflows for Busy Teams: Short on admin time during back-to-school rushes? We automate prioritization of leads from inquiry forms and social media polls, so your enrollment coordinator spends less on cold calls and more on personalized tours highlighting classroom environments. One client reduced lead review time from 10 hours to 2 per week over a single semester, allowing focus on scalable learning programs that keep families engaged year-round through progress updates.
Data-Driven Decisions for Growth
Data-Driven Decisions for Growth: Gain insights into what makes a family 'hot'—from budget signals in tuition affordability queries to curriculum fit like interest in STEM early learning. This predictive edge helps you adjust marketing on the fly for events like family info nights, boosting ROI on open house events by 25% and ensuring your preschool scales without overextending resources during low-enrollment periods.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under 200 monthly inquiries, many from out-of-state families who never scheduled a virtual tour. Their custom scoring now flags the serious ones based on engagement with our Reggio Emilia program pages— we've enrolled 15 more kids this semester, and our director has time to plan new after-school enrichment programs."
Maria Gonzalez
Enrollment Director, Little Stars Preschool (serving 3-5 year olds in urban communities)
"We used to guess which leads to chase during back-to-school rushes with generic lists from Facebook ads. This system analyzes email engagement on bilingual storytime demos and form submissions for waitlist spots, prioritizing families interested in our curriculum. Enrollments jumped 28% in three months, and it's all integrated with our existing parent portal—no extra logins needed for daily updates."
David Chen
Head of Admissions, Bright Beginnings Academy (specializing in dual-language immersion for toddlers)
"As a small preschool with just 50 spots, we couldn't afford bloated software that ignored local needs. AIQ built something that scores leads based on local zip codes, interest in outdoor learning, and tour bookings, helping us fill waitlists faster during summer transitions. Last year, we avoided a 20% dip in numbers and even expanded our STEM classes for 4-year-olds thanks to the efficiency gains."

Owner and Lead Educator, Growing Minds Preschool (community-based program for ages 2-5)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom lead scoring differ from standard CRM features for preschools?
Standard CRM tools offer basic filters, like sorting by inquiry date, but they don't predict intent tailored to your preschool. Our custom system uses AI to analyze unique signals—such as a parent's repeated views of your Reggio Emilia program page or quick replies to waitlist emails. We've seen this boost prioritization accuracy for clients, turning generic lists into actionable insights. It's built around your workflow, integrating directly with your enrollment software to score leads in real-time. No more manual tagging; the AI learns from your successful enrollments, adapting as family trends shift, like increased demand for hybrid learning post-pandemic. This means your team focuses on high-potential families, potentially increasing spots filled by 25% without extra marketing spend.
What data do you need to build the lead scoring model for our preschool?
We start with your existing data sources, like inquiry forms, email interactions, and past enrollment records from your CRM or parent database. No need for massive datasets— even 6-12 months of history works to train the model on patterns, such as which leads from local mommy groups convert fastest. We'll map demographics (age of children, zip codes) and behaviors (tour bookings, newsletter sign-ups) specific to your programs. Privacy is key; everything complies with FERPA. During discovery, we collaborate to identify what matters most, like scoring higher for families interested in extended care. The result is a system that evolves with your preschool, ensuring it scales as you add classes or locations without starting over.
How long does it take to implement and see results from lead scoring?
Implementation typically takes 4-6 weeks, depending on your current setup. Week one is discovery, mapping your data. Then 2-3 weeks for building and testing the AI model, followed by integration and a soft launch with your team. Results kick in quickly—many preschools notice a 15-20% efficiency gain in the first month as low-quality leads drop off radars. Full impact, like 30% higher enrollments, shows by quarter two, based on refined scoring from live data. We provide hands-on training and monitor performance, adjusting for seasonal spikes like spring registrations. Unlike plug-and-play tools, our custom approach means immediate ownership, with ongoing tweaks to match your growth.
Can this system integrate with our existing preschool management software?
Absolutely— we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Jackrabbit, HiMama, or your custom parent portal. The lead scoring pulls data in real-time (e.g., updating scores when a family books a tour via app) and pushes prioritized lists back for seamless follow-up. No brittle connections that break during updates; our engineers use robust APIs for reliability. For example, one preschool client synced it with their billing system to flag leads likely to enroll siblings, streamlining admin. It's all unified under your control, reducing the 'tool juggling' that wastes hours. If you have unique tools, we'll assess and build custom bridges, ensuring everything flows toward better student outcomes without disrupting daily operations.
Is the lead scoring system scalable as our preschool grows?
Yes, designed for growth from startup playgroups to multi-campus networks. The AI architecture handles increasing data volumes—think scaling from 100 inquiries monthly to 1,000—without slowdowns or extra costs. As you expand programs (e.g., adding toddler classes), we retrain the model to incorporate new criteria, like interest in STEM add-ons. Clients report seamless transitions, with no need to migrate to pricier enterprise software. Ownership means you own the scalable asset, not a rented service that caps features. We've helped preschools double enrollment without tech overhauls, focusing resources on curriculum and family engagement instead. Regular check-ins ensure it adapts to your trajectory, keeping predictions sharp for sustained success.
How do you ensure the AI respects family privacy in education settings?
Privacy is non-negotiable in education—we build with compliance front and center, adhering to COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR for parent data. The system anonymizes sensitive info during scoring (e.g., using aggregated behaviors over personal details) and stores everything securely on your owned infrastructure, not third-party clouds. Access controls limit views to authorized staff, with audit logs for transparency. For preschools, this means scoring based on opt-in interactions like email consents, never scraping without permission. Our approach has passed reviews for regulated clients, ensuring trust. You control data retention, deleting as needed, while the AI focuses on patterns that drive ethical, outcome-focused enrollments without compromising family trust.
