SMS and Business Text Messaging for Pre-schools and Day Cares

TEXTING MADE EASY FOR YOUR DAY CARES AND PRESCHOOLS

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS
BETWEEN FAMILIES AND
EARLY CHILDHOOD STAFF

Texting is pervasive, convenient and the
preferred form of communication for just about
everyone these days. It’s less disruptive for
working parents than a phone call. Directors get
faster responses than sending an email.

Over 50% of voicemails are
not listened to for at least 8 hours.

5 Reasons CAPTIVATED IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR DAY CARE OR PRESCHOOL

EASILY ENGAGE LEADS

With our lead generation tool, parents in need of child care can quickly and easily connect with you by sending a text straight from your website. Avoid the pain of voicemail and phone tag and the lag time of email by instantly communicating with interested parents.

Captivated is the perfect Chat replacement so your staff can easily connect and answer questions from parents looking for early childhood care.

SUPER CHARGE YOUR EXISTING LANDLINE PHONE NUMBERS

Now, all of your print ads and website advertisements can say call or text. Captivated can text enable all of your existing landlines so parents can choose to call or text. If a parent ignores your call and replies via text, I can’t talk right now, your teachers and staff can stay engaged right from their desktop or mobile device and get the intended message to the parent via text.

SPEED, CONVENIENCE & CLARITY

Our easy-to-use personalized templates with variable data merge fields make it easier to connect with parents quickly and professionally, yet with a true one-on-one, personalized feel.

COACHING & OVERSIGHT

Captivated allows anyone on your staff to quickly share a note and ask for help from a co-worker or a supervisor. Multiple people can follow important conversations and tag-team to make sure requests from parents are addressed quickly and thoroughly.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Throughout the year, Captivated empowers your entire staff to communicate with parents of children the same way they communicate with their friends. Parents want to be in the know and be able to reach your staff quickly and conveniently. Captivated enables you to build relationships and trust with these parents. It empowers you to set meetings and provide reminders. You can even use Captivated to move paperwork and get signatures. As a result, communication is better and parents are happier. That leads more clients to return and more prospects to commit. The increase to your bottom line will be measureable.

EXPEDITE THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Captivated helps you communicate with parents in every part of the enrollment process. Whether they are just starting an application ready to enroll, Captivated provides the fastest, most convenient way to communicate. This is especially important between the time a child is accepted into your program and when they actually enroll. Once you know a family is serious about your program and meets all the requirements, use texting to keep them updated on important dates and tasks they still need to complete. By offering quicker communication, you are giving your preschool or day care a competitive advantage and staying top-of-mind.
