Features

What Your Childcare Front Desk Handles

From the first parent question to a lead in your inbox — with enrolment decisions left to your director.

Tour Booking

Parents ask to visit and book a tour time in the same conversation through Calendly or Cal.com, along with what to bring and what a tour includes.

Age Groups & Waitlist Requests

Explains which program fits the child's age (infant, toddler, preschool, pre-K) and how your waitlist works, then passes the request to your director. It does not confirm places.

Curriculum & Philosophy FAQs

Your educational approach (Montessori, Reggio, play-based), daily schedule, teacher credentials, and learning goals — from the handbook you attach.

Safety & Licensing Info

Your licensing details, teacher-to-child ratios, entry and check-in procedures, and allergy policy, exactly as you have written them.

Four Channels, One Inbox

Website chat, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, and Facebook Messenger. Every conversation lands in one inbox in Studio.

100+ Languages

Parents write in their own language; the AI detects it and replies in kind — Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, and more.

In practice

Real Conversations Your AI Handles

Two example conversations: on the website a parent asks about a program for a 2-year-old and books a center tour; on Instagram DM an expecting parent asks to join the infant waitlist and the request is passed to the director
Illustrative examples. Waitlist requests go to your director. The AI never confirms a place or a start date.

Openings Question

Parent messages: "Do you have openings for an 18-month-old starting in August?" AI explains the Toddler program, captures the start date and phone, and passes it to your director.

Pricing Questions

Website chat: "How much for full-time infant care?" AI quotes your infant rate and explains what it includes (meals, diapers, supplies).

Curriculum Inquiry

Facebook message: "What's your teaching philosophy?" AI explains your approach from your handbook and shares the tour link.

Waitlist Request

Expecting parent: "I'm due in 6 months, when should I enroll?" AI explains how your waitlist works, captures her details, and emails the request to your director.

Tour Request

WhatsApp: "Can we tour Saturday morning?" AI shares your tour booking link and captures the parent's name and number for your director.

Safety & Security

Anxious parent: "How do you keep kids safe?" AI explains your secure entry, check-in procedure, and allergy policy as written in your handbook.

Potty Training Policy

Parent asks: "Does my 2-year-old need to be potty trained?" AI explains your policy, transition support, and partnership with families.

Meals & Allergies

Inquiry: "My child has a peanut allergy, can you accommodate?" AI shares your nut-free kitchen policy and routes the specifics to your director.

Drop-Off Hours

Working parent: "What time can I drop off for a 7am shift?" AI gives your hours, early drop-off option, and late-pickup fee from your rate sheet.

Outcomes

Why Daycare Centers Choose Hyperleap AI

Parent inquiries from website, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, and the email the director receives with the parent's contact details, the child's age, the booked tour time, and a short summary
Every inquiry lands in one list, and your director gets an email with the details and the full conversation. Sample data.

Tour Requests Don't Go Cold

Whoever asks to visit gets your tour link in the same reply, and your director gets their name, number, and the child's age.

Fewer Interruptions in the Classroom

The repeat questions get answered in chat, so circle time, snack, and nap carry on and your staff stays with the children.

Patient, Plain Answers

First-time parents have a lot of questions. They get unhurried answers to the basics — ratios, meals, hours — before they ever have to call.

Waitlist Requests in One Place

Every waitlist request arrives in your inbox with the child's age and start date, so your director works from one list instead of scattered DMs.

Context Before the Tour

Parents arrive already knowing your curriculum, ratios, and hours, and your director knows what they asked about.

Live in Under 5 Minutes

Paste your website URL, add one script tag. Attaching your parent handbook, rate sheet, and sample menu helps refine the answers.

You stay in control

Why Childcare Centers Trust Hyperleap AI

The childcare center's AI instructions in Hyperleap AI, including rules never to confirm a place or waitlist position or ask for a child's medical details, next to the center's chat widget
You write the rules: what it answers, when it routes to your director, and what it never does. Sample center instructions.

Built for Early Childhood Education

Comes with a childcare starting prompt and the questions parents actually ask — age groups, tuition, ratios, meals — so you tune, not start from blank.

Privacy by Design

The AI collects a parent's contact details and a child's age — nothing more. Anything about a specific child's health or needs routes to your director instead of being collected in the chat.

No Technical Skills Required

Paste your site, add one script tag, connect WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger from Studio. No developer needed.

Human Handoff for Complex Questions

Special needs accommodations, behavioral concerns, and financial hardship questions route to your director with the full conversation attached. The AI routes; your director decides.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an AI front desk do for a daycare or childcare center?+

It answers the questions parents ask again and again — age groups, hours, tuition, meals, curriculum, what to bring — from your website, PDFs, and rate sheet. It shares your tour booking link, captures the parent's name and phone, and emails your director a clean summary. Anything about a specific child's needs routes to your team.

Does it book tours?+

Yes, if you use Calendly or Cal.com. It checks your live availability, offers real open times, and books the one the parent picks right in the chat; the parent gets the calendar invite by email. In-chat booking with Calendly needs Calendly Standard or higher. With any other scheduler, it shares your tour booking link. It captures the parent's name, phone, and the child's age so your director is prepared. It does not write into your childcare software — there is no integration with it.

Can it handle waitlist enquiries?+

It explains how your waitlist works from the description you give it, captures the parent's details and the start date they need, and emails the request to your director. It does not confirm a waitlist place or promise a spot — your team does that.

Does it answer questions about programs and curriculum?+

Yes, from your own materials: your programs for each age group, daily schedule, curriculum approach, meals, and enrichment activities like art, music, and outdoor play.

Which channels does it cover?+

Your website, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, and Facebook Messenger, all in one inbox in Studio. WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger run on Meta's official Business APIs — Hyperleap AI is a Meta Technology Provider and Business Partner.

How long does setup take?+

Live in under 5 minutes: paste your website URL and Studio imports your branding, detects your industry, and writes a starting prompt; then add one script tag. Attaching your parent handbook, rate sheet, and sample menu helps refine the answers.
