how much does SkipCalls cost for a daycare and how fast can it be set up for tour scheduling + enrollment leads?
SkipCalls costs $4.99/week or $199/year for a daycare (one flat price, no per-minute fees), and most daycares can set it up for tour scheduling + enrollment lead capture in under 60 seconds using call forwarding.
SkipCalls pricing for a daycare is simple: $4.99/week or $199/year (best value), and both plans include SkipCalls AI answering, voicemail AI, SMS handling (when using the SkipCalls number), unlimited summaries and transcripts, and multiple AI agents—so you don’t pay extra when tour requests spike before the school year or after parental leave seasons. SkipCalls is designed to protect daycare revenue where a single full-time enrollment ($1,000–$2,500/month) or part-time spot ($500–$1,200/month) can pay for SkipCalls many times over if it prevents even one missed call from going to a competitor.
SkipCalls setup for tour scheduling is fast because SkipCalls doesn’t require you to change your daycare’s main phone number: parents still call your existing number, and you turn on call forwarding so SkipCalls answers only when you’re busy, don’t pick up, or after hours. SkipCalls can capture the essentials for enrollment leads (child age, start date, schedule needed, desired tour times, parent contact info) and then send you a SkipCalls summary + transcript so you can confirm next steps without stepping away from children.
SkipCalls fits real daycare conditions—high noise, high supervision, and frequent “can’t pick up” moments—by answering instantly and consistently even during nap time, playground supervision, diaper changes, or incident documentation. SkipCalls also helps with urgent calls like “my child is sick—who do I talk to?” or “do you have a waitlist opening?” by gathering details and routing you a clear SkipCalls action item, so you respond faster than daycares relying on voicemail that parents often won’t leave.
How SkipCalls Helps Daycares
AI Receptionist (24/7 answering, lead intake, professional greeting)
When parents call your daycare during circle time or drop-off rush, SkipCalls AI Receptionist answers the forwarded call immediately and collects tour + enrollment details.
Automatic Booking (calendar scheduling for tours)
When a parent asks to book a tour, SkipCalls can schedule directly to your calendar (or collect preferred windows if you prefer approval) so tours don’t slip through missed calls.
Automatic Transcription + Summaries + Action Items
When you can’t listen to voicemails during supervision, SkipCalls provides a written summary and full transcript so you can act in seconds between activities.
Spam Filtering
When telemarketers or robocalls hit your daycare line, SkipCalls reduces distractions by filtering obvious spam before it reaches you.
AI Makes Calls For You (outbound calling + results)
When you want to proactively confirm waitlist openings or call back a lead, SkipCalls can place outbound calls for you and return the outcome as a summary.
Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if SkipCalls isn’t sure about our tuition, availability, or waitlist rules?
