AI Consulting for Childcare

Childcare centres, family day care, and early learning providers. These are the specific problems we see childcare businesses bring to us:

1. Managing enrolments and waitlists. Our approach: honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do for your specific business. This directly addresses the way childcare professionals actually work.

2. Tracking attendance and sign-in/out. Our approach: starts with a hands-on discovery workshop, not a questionnaire. This directly addresses the way childcare professionals actually work.

3. Communicating daily updates to parents. Our approach: advice from someone who builds AI products daily, not just advises on them. This directly addresses the way childcare professionals actually work.

4. Meeting compliance and ratio requirements. Our approach: honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do for your specific business. This directly addresses the way childcare professionals actually work.

Based on the challenges above, here are the applications we recommend for childcare businesses:

Attendance Tracker: Digital sign-in and ratio monitoring. Learn how to build a attendance tracker.

Each of these can be customised to your specific childcare workflows. We scope the exact features you need during a free consultation.

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For childcare businesses, the key metrics are:

Occupancy rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Parent satisfaction: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Compliance audit results: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in childcare is at the medium level. About half of childcare businesses now use some form of digital tools. But most are using off-the-shelf products that only partially fit. Custom software built around your actual workflows is the next step.

Typical investment: $1000-2500. Most childcare clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

Discovery. You tell us about your childcare business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For childcare projects, this usually falls within $1000-2500.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 1 day to ongoing. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.
