Why Choose Us

You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the daily grind of jotting down attendance, scribbling progress notes, and chasing paper trails for licensing reports.

Reclaim Hours for Child-Centered Activities

Reclaim Hours for Child-Centered Activities: Manual entry steals time from story circles, outdoor explorations, and phonics sessions. Our AI handles attendance, health checks, and lesson notes, freeing staff for what matters—fostering curiosity, emotional growth, and literacy skills. Centers report 30% more hands-on engagement within the first quarter, leading to glowing parent feedback, improved kindergarten readiness scores, and stronger early learning foundations.

Enhance Parent Trust Through Instant, Accurate Insights

It's like having a transparent window into your nurturing environment, without the extra workload, while supporting home-school connections.

Streamline Compliance and Reduce Audit Stress

Streamline Compliance and Reduce Audit Stress: Daycare and preschool regulations demand meticulous records for health screenings and curriculum adherence, yet manual logs invite errors. Our system auto-generates compliant reports on enrollments, incidents, and developmental assessments, cutting prep time from days to minutes and ensuring alignment with state licensing standards. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your data is audit-ready, so you focus on safe, scalable care rather than paperwork battles— with 95% audit success rates reported by users.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our three lead teachers were spending two hours each afternoon just logging nap times, snack preferences, and basic social interactions in our Montessori-inspired program. Now, the system captures it all from quick voice inputs during circle time, and we've cut errors that used to mess up our weekly parent emails by 50%. It's given us back our afternoons for extra art projects and sensory play—the kids love it, and so do the parents, with enrollment up 15% this year."

Maria Gonzalez

Center Director, Sunshine Montessori Daycare

"We were drowning in Excel sheets for tracking toddler milestones, especially with 45 kids rotating through our Reggio Emilia curriculum rooms. After implementing their custom AI three months ago, progress notes auto-populate from daily observations on cognitive and emotional development, and we even get alerts for kids needing extra support in areas like language acquisition. In the first month, we identified two speech delays earlier than usual, which made a real difference for those families and aligned us better with our early intervention protocols."

James Patel

Lead Early Childhood Educator, Little Explorers Reggio Preschool

"Compliance visits were a nightmare with our old handwritten logs—last year, we had to scramble for missing allergy updates and vaccination records during a surprise health department audit. AIQ's solution scans intake forms, integrates with our state-mandated child care database, and keeps everything current in one dashboard. We've saved about 15 hours a week on admin tasks, and during our state inspection last quarter, the reviewer said our records were the most organized they'd seen in years, earning us a perfect compliance score."

Common Questions

How does this AI handle sensitive child data in a daycare setting?

We prioritize privacy with end-to-end encryption and role-based access, ensuring only authorized staff see details like health notes or family contacts. Built to meet FERPA and HIPAA guidelines, our system stores data on secure, compliant servers. Unlike generic tools, we customize retention policies to your state's childcare regs—for instance, auto-archiving enrollment forms after seven years. We've helped centers pass audits flawlessly, and you get full control over data exports. It's designed so teachers can focus on care, not compliance worries.

No, it enhances it. We integrate directly with platforms like Procare or Brightwheel, automating data flow so manual entry vanishes. For example, scan a child's badge at arrival, and attendance syncs instantly to your billing system. If you're on multiple apps, we unify them into one dashboard. This avoids the cost and hassle of switching, saving you thousands while keeping your familiar workflows intact. Centers we've worked with report smoother operations without retraining the whole team.

How long does it take to set up the custom AI for our daycare?

Typically 4-6 weeks from initial chat to full launch, depending on your center's complexity. We start with a quick audit of your processes—like how you track potty training or group activities—then build and test iteratively. Small daycares with 20 kids see faster rollout, around 4 weeks, while larger ones with multiple classrooms take a bit longer for thorough integrations. Your team gets involved minimally, with just 2-3 short sessions. Post-launch, we monitor for the first month to ensure it's humming along perfectly.

Can the system scale if we expand to more locations or age groups?

Absolutely, it's built modularly for growth. Start with one classroom's attendance and expand to multi-site tracking for toddlers through preschoolers. Our AI adapts to new data patterns, like adding infant feeding logs without rebuilding everything. We've scaled solutions for centers growing from 50 to 200 kids, maintaining speed and accuracy. No need for extra subscriptions—your owned system just gets smarter with use, supporting scalable learning as your enrollment booms.

What if our staff isn't tech-savvy—will they be able to use it?

We design for real educators, not IT experts. Interfaces are intuitive, like speaking into your phone for a quick activity note that auto-fills forms. Training is hands-on, just 1-2 hours tailored to busy schedules, with cheat sheets for common tasks like logging circle time themes. In one case, a center with mostly part-time aides went live in days, and usage hit 95% adoption immediately. If issues arise, our support is a call away, ensuring everyone—from directors to floaters—feels confident and empowered.

How much does a custom manual data entry solution cost for a daycare?

Pricing starts at $8,000 for a basic setup covering attendance and notes, scaling to $20,000+ for full integrations with analytics and multi-site support. It's a one-time build fee, no recurring costs beyond optional maintenance at $200/month. This replaces multiple subscriptions that could run $500+ yearly, delivering ROI in months through time savings—think 20 hours/week reclaimed at $25/hour staff rate. We provide a detailed quote after discovery, customized to your needs, with flexible payment over implementation.
