Pricing Inquiry Scripts
Pricing Inquiry Response Scripts for Daycares
When you are supervising a dozen toddlers, a ringing phone is often a distraction you cannot afford to answer. These scripts help you quickly communicate value and pricing so you can secure a new enrollment without compromising the safety or attention your current students deserve.
Standard Full-Time Inquiry
Use this when a parent asks for the monthly cost of full-time care for a toddler or preschooler.
Thank you for thinking of us for your child's care! Our full-time program for toddlers usually ranges between $1,200 and $1,800 per month depending on the specific classroom and curriculum. This includes all organic snacks, our STEAM-based daily activities, and real-time photo updates through our parent app. To give you an exact quote and show you our safety features, would you like to schedule a tour this Tuesday or Wednesday during our morning activity block?
Tips for this scenario
- -Always mention the 'extras' like snacks or app updates before the price.
- -Use a range to account for different age-group ratios which affect your costs.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone during high-noise times like lunch or play, which makes the center sound chaotic.
!Quoting a flat price without asking for the child's age, since ratios and prices vary wildly between infants and preschoolers.
!Failing to mention the enrollment fee or deposit, leading to 'sticker shock' later in the process.
!Sounding rushed or annoyed when a parent asks questions; they are trusting you with their child's life.
!Not capturing a phone number or email to follow up after a pricing inquiry.
