Why Choose Us
You're not alone in feeling buried under parent emails that lead nowhere. We've seen this before—directors spending hours chasing families who aren't ready, pulling focus from the kids who need it most. At AIQ Labs, we build a tailored AI lead scoring system just for your daycare. It analyzes parent interactions, like website visits to curriculum pages or tour requests, to score leads on enrollment likelihood. No more one-size-fits-all software that ignores your unique waitlist dynamics or seasonal peaks. This is flexible, integrated into your existing tools, and owned by you—designed to fit your exact workflow, from initial inquiry to signed contract.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enrollment Growth Tailored to Your Daycare
Prioritize Families Aligned with Your Programs
Prioritize Families Aligned with Your Programs: Imagine scoring leads by how well parents match your Montessori-inspired curriculum or bilingual immersion programs, using factors like inquiry keywords on child development milestones. Our AI flags families with toddlers seeking nurturing, play-based environments, ensuring your team engages those who value your holistic student-outcome focus. This cuts chase time by 50%, letting you fill spots faster—within 2-3 weeks—and scale personalized learning without added staff.
Boost Conversions During Peak Seasons
Boost Conversions During Peak Seasons: Like a well-timed lesson plan, our system anticipates enrollment surges—scoring leads higher for parents inquiring in spring about full-day kindergarten readiness. Daycare and preschool centers using this see 30% more enrollments within the first quarter, as hot leads get immediate, personalized follow-ups via tailored email sequences on program benefits. No more buried gems in your inbox; focus on scalable growth that supports every child's developmental milestones.
Free Up Time for What Matters Most
Free Up Time for What Matters Most: Staff hours once lost to unqualified calls now go toward designing play-based activities, conducting parent-teacher conferences, or refining individualized education plans (IEPs). With automated scoring, your team handles 40% fewer low-value interactions, improving job satisfaction and allowing deeper focus on customized learning paths that drive better academic and social outcomes for kids over the school year.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's lead scoring, we'd get 20 inquiries a week from parents exploring our STEM-focused preschool, but only convert 3 due to scattered follow-ups. Now, it highlights families prioritizing hands-on science activities for ages 3-5, and we've doubled enrollments—from 15 to 30 new students—in just six months without hiring extra admins."
Maria Gonzalez
Director, Little Explorers Daycare
"The system caught a family browsing our site late at night during summer break—they were relocating from out-of-state and enrolled their twins in our bilingual toddler program the very next day. It's like having an extra set of eyes on every lead, saving us from chasing ghosts and boosting our waitlist conversions by 25%."
David Patel
Owner, Bright Futures Childcare
"We were drowning in emails during the back-to-school rush in August, with leads mixed between waitlist priorities and casual inquiries. This custom tool scores based on our needs like full-time vs. part-time slots for working parents, and our conversion rate jumped from 15% to 28% last fall, freeing up 10 hours a week for classroom observations instead of paperwork."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does lead scoring work specifically for daycare enrollment?
Our AI examines parent interactions—like time spent on your curriculum pages, form submissions for waitlist spots, or tour scheduling—to assign scores from 1-100 based on conversion likelihood. For daycares, it factors in details such as family size, location proximity, and program preferences (e.g., full-day vs. part-time). High scorers, say above 80, get priority alerts to your team. We've tailored this for education providers, ensuring it aligns with seasonal influxes like summer camps, helping you focus on families ready to commit without generic assumptions. The result? More efficient follow-ups that respect your student-centered mission.
Will this integrate with our existing enrollment software?
Absolutely. We design integrations for tools like Jackrabbit or Brightwheel, pulling data on inquiries and pushing scored leads back in real-time. No more manual entry that pulls directors from classroom oversight. For a recent client, we connected it to their system in under two weeks, automating 70% of the workflow. It's built custom, so it fits your exact setup—whether you're tracking toddler programs or aftercare—without the fragility of off-the-shelf plugins. This unified approach replaces subscription sprawl with one owned system.
What data does the AI use, and is it secure for family information?
We use anonymized data from your website analytics, email opens, and inquiry forms—nothing invasive like personal child details until consent. Security is paramount; we encrypt everything and comply with education standards like COPPA for under-13 protections. In one project, a daycare shared how our scoring flagged interested parents without risking privacy breaches. It's all processed on your secure servers, giving you full control. Parents trust centers that handle data responsibly, and our system ensures that while helping you scale enrollments ethically.
How long until we see results from the lead scoring system?
Most daycares notice improvements within the first month, with full optimization by quarter two. We start with a quick audit of your current leads, build the model, and test it live—often scoring 20-30% more accurately from week one. A client in early childhood ed saw enrollment inquiries convert 25% faster after initial setup. It's iterative: we monitor and tweak based on your feedback, like emphasizing scores for multicultural program interests. Short term, you'll save hours; long term, it supports sustainable growth without overwhelming your team.
Can it handle seasonal variations in daycare inquiries?
Yes, our models are trained on historical data to predict peaks, like back-to-school rushes or holiday breaks. It adjusts scores dynamically—for instance, boosting families inquiring about infant spots in January. We've helped centers navigate these by integrating calendar data, ensuring you don't miss high-intent leads during slow periods. One partner reported 40% better lead quality during summer, turning browsers into enrollees. Flexible and built for your calendar, it keeps your focus on scalable learning outcomes year-round.
Is this suitable for small daycares with limited tech resources?
Perfectly. We design for SMBs like yours—10-50 kids—with simple dashboards anyone can use, no IT team needed. Setup involves a few sessions with your staff to input preferences, like prioritizing local working parents. A small center we worked with, handling 25 enrollments yearly, integrated it without downtime and saw ROI in three months through higher conversions. It's not bloated enterprise software; it's a lightweight, custom tool that empowers your team to prioritize child development over admin drudgery.
