Fix Your Tour Follow-Up in One Nap-Time
In this episode, you’ll set up a simple 3-step follow-up system, so fewer families ghost you after a tour, and you can do it in one nap time.
Whether you run a daycare center or home childcare program, tour follow-up is one of the easiest ways to improve your enrollment rate — if you do it consistently. This system takes out the guesswork so every lead gets the personal, professional follow-up they deserve (without fancy tech or CRMs).
What You’ll Walk Away With:
- A ready-to-use message template you can send same-day after a tour
- A reminder system to re-engage families 2–3 days later
- A simple tracking method to stay organized and stop losing leads
🧠 Key Takeaways:
- Same-Day Message Matters
- Send a quick, warm follow-up via text or email right after the tour to keep momentum.
Example template:
“Hi [Parent Name], it was so nice meeting you and [Child’s Name] today at [Program Name]. If you have any questions or want to move forward with enrollment, you can reply here or call/text me at [number]. I’d love to welcome your family!”
Check-In 2–3 Days Later
A gentle nudge shows you’re still thinking of them.
Example:
“Hi [Parent Name], just checking in to see if you had any questions about [Program Name] or our openings for [month]. I’m happy to help you decide if we’re the right fit.”
Track It All On One Simple List
A notebook, whiteboard, or basic Google Sheet works fine. Just track:
- Parent name
- Child name
- Tour date
“Follow-up sent?” (Yes/No)
🧸 Ideal For:
- Home daycare providers tired of chasing families
- Small center owners who need a plug-and-play follow-up system
- Anyone who wants to improve enrollment without learning new tech
