Incoming calls are unpredictable.

Calls come in, but you’re not always available to answer them. We capture leads, book appointments, collect payment, and log details instantly in your systems. We manage your center's calls so you can focus on what only you can do: providing nurturing care and creating safe, enriching environments where children thrive.

Create lesson plans while we handle the calls.

The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai greets every caller professionally and captures essential enrollment and inquiry information through structured intake questions. By collecting key information upfront — such as child's age, care needs (full-time, part-time, drop-in), preferred start date, any special requirements or allergies, and whether it's a tour request or enrollment inquiry — the system helps identify and prioritize families based on your daycare's age groups, capacity, and program offerings. Our human agents seamlessly step in when callers request to speak with someone directly or have complex inquiries that require detailed information collection and routing to the appropriate director or childcare staff member.

The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai combines cutting-edge AI technology with optional human support to deliver unmatched call handling capabilities. Unlike competitors who offer basic subscription services, we provide white-glove implementation and ongoing support to ensure your success.
