Hands full of kids.
Phones covered.
An AI receptionist for daycares answers the phone while your teachers are with the children, handles enrollment questions and books tours. Nobody in a toddler room can run to the phone, and parents touring centers usually call from work. The AI picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night. For new families it answers from what you loaded about ages served, hours, tuition and waitlist steps, then books a tour on your director’s Google Calendar or Calendly and texts a confirmation. Enrolled parents can leave a message that a child is out sick or will be picked up late, and it lands as a summary your staff can read between activities. A parent who asks for the director is rung through. It speaks 32 languages, including Spanish, Arabic and Ukrainian. Plans start at $249 a month, and there is a free five-day pilot with no credit card.

Daycares:
questions and answers.
It tells them what you have loaded, such as which rooms have a waitlist. Update it as spots open, and it answers from the latest version.
It can mark a message urgent in the summary, and a parent who asks for the director or a teacher is rung through in the order you set.
Yes. Every call has a recording, a searchable transcript and a short summary in the dashboard, on every plan.
It can. Caller memory lets it greet a returning caller by name and pick up from the gist of the last call.
It does the job of both: it answers your business calls, takes messages and books appointments. A virtual receptionist is usually a person working remotely, and an answering service usually takes messages. Voxgard is AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and books straight into your calendar.
