What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, I was drowning in emails to parents every open house season for our preschool program—it took my whole team two full days just to follow up on tour requests. Now, the automation sends personalized invites based on past inquiries about curriculum options, and we've filled 12 infant spots in just one month without extra hours or overtime. It's like having an extra staff member who never sleeps and always complies with privacy regs."

Sarah Thompson

Director, Little Stars Daycare

"We struggled with tracking who was interested in our toddler program amid all the manual spreadsheets and scattered parent portal logins. After implementing their custom system six months ago, response rates jumped 35% for after-school inquiries, and I'm saving about 10 hours a week on admin. The ROI was clear in the first quarter—more enrollments in special needs classes, less hassle, and a 20% revenue boost from steady spots."

Mike Rivera

Owner, Bright Beginnings Childcare

"Personalizing outreach for working parents was a nightmare until this, especially for our bilingual kindergarten tracks. The AI now segments families by needs, like after-school care or STEM enrichment, and automates reminders for open houses. We've reduced no-shows for tours by 50% and gained five new families last fall during back-to-school rush. Finally, tech that understands daycare realities and keeps us FERPA-compliant."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle child privacy regulations?

We prioritize compliance from the start, building in features like automatic data anonymization and consent tracking aligned with COPPA and state child care laws. For instance, all parent communications include opt-out options, and sensitive info like ages or needs is encrypted. We've helped centers avoid fines by integrating these safeguards directly into the workflow, ensuring your marketing feels safe and trustworthy. Unlike generic tools, our custom build audits every step for your specific regulatory needs, giving you peace of mind while saving time.

Can it integrate with our existing enrollment software?

Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Jackrabbit or Childcare Manager, pulling in real-time data on openings and inquiries to trigger automated responses. No more manual exports—leads flow directly into your system, updating waitlists instantly. One client synced their Procare setup in under two weeks, cutting data entry by 70%. We map your exact workflow first to avoid disruptions, creating a seamless bridge that boosts efficiency without overhauling what you already use.

What kind of time savings can a small daycare expect?

For a center with 50-100 families, expect 10-15 hours saved weekly on tasks like follow-up emails and inquiry tracking. Directors often reclaim time for classroom oversight, with one reporting a 25% drop in admin stress after automating seasonal campaigns. Our ROI focus means we quantify this upfront: reduced manual work translates to faster enrollments and lower staff turnover. It's not just savings—it's redirecting energy to nurturing kids, with payback in 3-6 months through higher occupancy rates.

Is this customizable for different program types, like infant vs. preschool?

Yes, we tailor everything to your programs. The AI learns from your data to segment messaging—for example, sending play-based invites to toddler prospects while highlighting curriculum for preschoolers. We've built systems for hybrid centers that handle multiple age groups, personalizing based on family profiles. This specificity drives 20-30% better engagement than one-size-fits-all tools. During discovery, we align it to your workflows, ensuring it supports scalable learning unique to your daycare's offerings.

How do we measure ROI from the marketing automation?

We embed custom KPIs right into your dashboard, tracking metrics like lead conversion rates, cost per enrollment, and time-to-fill spots. For daycares, this often shows a 2-3x ROI in the first year through increased revenue from automated outreach. One partner tracked a 40% efficiency gain, equating to $15K in saved labor. We provide monthly reports and optimizations, so you see clear wins—like fewer empty spots during peaks—without guessing. It's built for your bottom line, focused on student outcomes and operational flow.

What if our team isn't tech-savvy?

No worries—we design intuitive interfaces that feel like your daily planner, not a complex app. Training takes just a couple hours, with guided setups for sending campaigns or viewing analytics. Staff at non-tech centers love how it simplifies tasks, like auto-scheduling tours from inquiries. Our support includes ongoing tweaks, ensuring even admins with basic skills can manage it. We've seen teams go from overwhelmed to empowered, freeing directors to focus on child-centered decisions rather than tech hurdles.
