Running a daycare is rewarding, but let’s face it—an empty seat is lost revenue. Whether you’re a new center or an established provider looking to increase enrollment, filling your daycare quickly can transform your business. Here’s a 14‑day enrollment plan that can help you attract families fast and start the school year fully booked.
Day 1: Craft an Irresistible Offer
Parents respond to value and urgency. Offer examples:
$99 Registration Fee (Limited Time)
First Week Free After 30 Days
Sibling Discount for New Enrollments
Tip: Keep your offer simple and easy to understand.
Day 2–3: Reach Out to Warm Leads
Text or email your waitlist and past inquiries.
Script example: “Hi [Parent Name], we have a limited spot for [age group]. Quick tours this week—would you like to reserve a time?”
Ask current families for 1 referral each and offer a small thank-you, like a gift card.
Day 4–6: Boost Local Visibility
Post your enrollment offer on Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business Profile.
Share your flyer in local parent groups, community pages, and neighborhood apps like Nextdoor.
Distribute flyers to pediatricians, salons, libraries, and apartment complexes.

Day 7: Host a Mini Open House or Tour Day
Choose 2–3 time slots on one day.
Showcase your classrooms and safety measures.
Collect every visitor’s contact information for follow‑up.
Day 8–10: Follow Up Like a Pro
Send thank-you texts and 48-hour enrollment reminders.
Offer a temporary hold option with a refundable deposit to secure their spot.
Day 11–12: Create Urgency
Post: “We have just 2 spots left for [age group]! This offer ends in 48 hours—book your tour today!”
Urgency drives action—don’t wait for parents to “think about it” for weeks.
Day 13–14: Seal the Deal
Personally call or send voice notes to top leads.
Post welcome announcements for new families (with permission).
