Highlights of the Podcast Episode
Furthermore, in this episode Matt addresses the current parent enrollment experience and what he’s seen across the industry. What he’s seen is that today’s parent enrollment experience is a series of starts and stops and can take several months. Typically, the journey is inconvenient, lengthy, and time-consuming. ChildcareCRM and Kangarootime are there to relieve some of that stress for businesses and parents during the journey.
Scott also shares some information about Millennials seeing as more than 80% of today’s parents to children under 12 are Millennials. For Millennials, it’s important to be speedy and immediate in your communications and follow-up. As a childcare center, it is important to provide digital solutions that simplify payments, forms, and communication. It’s also essential to offer self-service options where parents don’t have to do a lot of back-and-forth communications.
