Why Choose Us
We get it—running a daycare means every hour counts toward creating safe, joyful spaces for kids. That's why we build recruiting automation from scratch, tailored to your workflow. No cookie-cutter tools. Our AI scans platforms for caregivers with early childhood credentials, matches them to your center's needs, and even predicts retention based on past hires.

We've seen directors reclaim 20 hours weekly, directly improving student outcomes through stable staffing.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains That Transform Your Daycare
Slash Hiring Time by 60%
Slash Hiring Time by 60%: Imagine filling a lead teacher spot in days, not weeks, even during back-to-school rushes. Our system automates sourcing from ECE job boards and initial outreach via personalized emails, saving directors 15 hours per hire. This means quicker onboarding with minimal disruption to daily circle times, lesson plans, and nap schedules, directly boosting your center's enrollment stability and parent satisfaction.
Boost ROI with 3x Lower Turnover
Boost ROI with 3x Lower Turnover: High staff churn in daycares costs thousands in retraining for Montessori or Reggio Emilia methods. Our predictive matching analyzes traits like passion for play-based learning and cultural competency, reducing mismatches. Centers report 25% less turnover within the first year, translating to $10K+ annual savings, consistent caregivers for uninterrupted child development outcomes, and higher NAEYC accreditation scores.
Enhance Compliance and Safety Screening
Enhance Compliance and Safety Screening: Background checks and ECE credential verification are non-negotiable in childcare to meet state licensing standards. We automate these with AI that flags issues like expired CDA certifications instantly, ensuring only vetted candidates advance. This cuts manual review time by 80%, minimizing risks of violations and letting you prioritize enriching STEM activities or outdoor play over paperwork burdens.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in resumes every fall back-to-school season—spending entire weekends just to find reliable substitute aides for our toddler program. Now, their system pulls in qualified ECE-certified candidates who actually stay for the full school year, and we've cut our hiring costs in half without sacrificing the quality of care during nap transitions or group activities."
Maria Gonzalez
Center Director, Sunshine Daycare Center, serving 50+ families in urban Chicago
"As a small center with just 20 children, we couldn't afford a full HR team to handle credential checks. The custom AI from AIQ Labs integrates seamlessly with our Google Calendar and screens for state-required ECE certifications perfectly. Last quarter, during flu season, we hired three long-term assistant teachers in under two weeks—it's a game-changer for maintaining consistent routines in our preschool curriculum."
David Chen
Owner and Lead Educator, Little Explorers Preschool, a family-run center in suburban Seattle
"Turnover was killing us, especially with seasonal absences from flu outbreaks disrupting our Montessori circles. AIQ's automation matched us with caregivers who truly fit our hands-on, child-led approach, and the ROI showed up immediately—fewer lesson plan interruptions, 30% higher parent retention, and a stable team that parents notice during open houses."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI ensure candidates are qualified for childcare roles?
Our custom AI is trained on your specific requirements, scanning for essentials like CDA credentials, CPR certification, and experience with age-specific curricula. It goes beyond keywords, using natural language processing to evaluate resumes for real-world fit—like enthusiasm for sensory play or handling tantrums. We've helped centers reduce unqualified applications by 70%, ensuring only vetted educators reach your team. The system learns from your feedback, refining matches over time for even better accuracy in your unique environment.
What kind of time savings can a small daycare expect?
Directors typically save 15-20 hours per week on recruiting tasks. Instead of manually posting jobs and chasing leads, the AI handles sourcing, screening, and scheduling autonomously. For a center hiring two staff quarterly, that's 80 hours reclaimed annually—time you can redirect to parent communications or enhancing outdoor learning spaces. Our clients report a 300% ROI within the first six months, with costs dropping as manual errors and agency fees vanish.
Is this system compliant with childcare regulations?
Absolutely. We build in safeguards for regulations like those from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The AI automates fingerprinting prompts and flags incomplete background checks, integrating with services like FBI databases. It's designed for state-specific rules, such as California's child-to-teacher ratios. Post-deployment, we provide audit-ready reports, giving you peace of mind while focusing on creating nurturing environments for kids.
How customizable is the recruiting automation for my center?
Fully tailored—no templates here. We start by mapping your workflow, whether you need aides for after-school programs or full-time preschool teachers. Features like custom scoring for bilingual skills or Montessori training are baked in. If your center serves special needs children, the AI prioritizes relevant experience. This ownership model means you control updates, scaling effortlessly as enrollment grows without extra subscriptions.
What happens if we outgrow the initial setup?
Our systems are engineered for scalability from the start. As your daycare adds locations or programs, we expand the AI to handle multi-site sourcing and unified applicant tracking. We've supported centers growing from 50 to 200 kids, maintaining efficiency without performance dips. Ongoing support includes quarterly reviews to optimize based on new challenges, like post-pandemic staffing trends, ensuring your investment compounds over years.
How secure is the candidate data in your system?
Security is paramount in childcare. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with FERPA-like standards for applicant info. Data is stored in your owned system, not shared with third parties, with role-based access so only authorized staff see details. Regular audits and AI-driven anomaly detection prevent breaches. Clients appreciate the transparency—full control over data retention, like auto-deleting inactive profiles after 12 months.
