The centre reality

Ratios don't allow phone duty
Educators can't leave the floor, and the director is in a room half the day. Enrolment calls — your lifeblood — ring out.
Tours are everything
Parents enrol where they toured. If booking a tour takes three call-backs, they've toured elsewhere.
Waitlist chaos
Spreadsheet waitlists breed double-ups and broken promises — and awkward calls when spots open.
CCS confusion
Subsidy questions are complex, emotional and endless — every one takes twenty gentle minutes.
EXAMPLE CONVERSATION

A nervous parent's first call. Handled gently.

The agent answers the questions that matter to parents — rooms, ratios, educators, food — and books the tour that turns an enquiry into an enrolment.

PARENT
Hi, I'm looking at care for my daughter — she'll be two in August. Do you have any spots? I'm going back to work three days a week.
POPPY — AI ENROLMENT ASSISTANT
Congratulations on the return to work — and lovely timing to be looking. For our toddler room we have genuine availability for Tuesdays and Wednesdays from July, with Thursdays likely by August. Would three set days work, or do you need flexibility?
PARENT
Tuesday to Thursday would be ideal. What are your fees?
POPPY — AI ENROLMENT ASSISTANT
Toddler days are $138 before the Child Care Subsidy — most families pay roughly half that after CCS, and I can send you a simple estimator. The best next step is a tour: you'll meet Kylie our director and see the toddler room in action. She has Thursday 10am or Friday 2pm this week.
PARENT
Thursday 10am works — I'll bring her along.
POPPY — AI ENROLMENT ASSISTANT
Perfect, we'd love to meet her! You're booked for Thursday at 10. I've texted the enrolment pack, parking tips and that CCS estimator. Any questions before then, just call — I'm always here.
