AI by industry · Preschools and daycares
A family and waitlist dashboard for your school
A dashboard for a preschool shows every family that asked, who toured, who is on the waitlist and which room has an opening. It fills itself in from your email and forms, and drafts the next message for you to approve. It replaces the binder, the sticky notes and the spreadsheet.

A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your preschool or daycare to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
What the director sees
Inquiries this week, tours scheduled, families who toured and have not decided, waitlist by age group, and open spots by room.
Click a family to see the child’s age group, desired start date and every message so far.
Built around your programs
Generic software often assumes a school year. A daycare may take children by the day, the week or the month, and have different rooms for different ages.
A custom build uses your rooms and your steps. Sensitive records stay in your approved system.
Keep it light on private details
A dashboard does not need a child’s medical history to be useful. It needs the age group, the desired start date, the parent’s contact details and the conversation. Leave allergies, medications and incident reports in the official system your licensing rules point to.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
The director opens the screen Monday and sees two tours, five families waiting for a reply and a toddler spot opening in September.
A parent calls to ask about their enrollment. Staff open the page and see which form is still missing.
Spring is coming. The waitlist is sorted by age and desired start date.

Questions
Does it hold health records?
We recommend not. Keep those in the system your licensing rules allow.
How soon can it be live?
A first version takes about a month, at a fixed price agreed in writing.
Can parents see it?
Not by default. It is for the director and front office. A parent page is possible if you want one.
