AI receptionist for preschools and daycares
An AI receptionist picks up when your front desk is covered in sign-in sheets or a teacher is alone with a room of two-year-olds. It answers hours, closures and tour questions from your handbook, and takes a message for anything else. Calls about illness, injuries or pickup changes go to a staff member right away.

Calls it can handle
Hours, holidays, what ages you take, how to book a tour, whether you have openings, what to pack. These are the same twenty questions all year.
It can also tell a parent how to reach the director and what the sick-child policy says, using the exact words from your handbook.
Calls it must not handle alone
A parent saying their child has a fever, a fall at home, or a change in who is picking up is not an automated job. Those are routed to a person right away, with a short note of what was said.
The assistant also should not give medical advice, and should say it is automated.
Tell callers what it is
Parents should know they are talking to an automated assistant, and should be able to reach a person at any time. A line at the start, such as “this is the school’s automated assistant,” keeps trust intact and sets the right expectations for what it can do.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like in a preschool or daycare. Illustrations, not clients.
It is 8:40 AM, circle time. A parent calls to ask if there is a spot in the three-year-old room. The assistant takes her name and number and offers a tour slot.
A father calls to say his daughter will be picked up by her aunt today. The call goes straight to the front desk with a flag.
After hours, someone asks about summer camp dates. They hear the dates you published.

Questions
Can it handle emergencies?
No. For urgent matters it connects to a person or tells the caller to dial the number you set.
What does it say about our policies?
Only what you give it. If it is not in your notes, it says it will pass the question on.
