The questions your team needs answered
Every early dismissal care intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How many children need care on early dismissal days? | The number of children needing care directly affects whether staff can seat the whole family on a given early dismissal day. |
| What age range best describes the children needing care? | Age range determines which group and staff-to-child ratio the child needs to be placed in. |
| How often do early dismissal days occur for your school? | How often early dismissal happens separates a family needing a standing weekly seat from one requesting occasional coverage. |
| Are you the parent or legal guardian authorized to arrange this care? | Confirming the person is a parent or legal guardian prevents holding a seat for someone who isn't actually able to complete enrollment. |
| Does your child have any care needs the provider should be aware of, such as allergies? | Surfacing allergy or care needs upfront lets staff confirm they can safely accommodate the child before scheduling a tour. |
| How soon do you need this care arranged? | Timeline separates families needing care before the very next dismissal from those planning ahead for later in the school year. |
| What type of location would you prefer for this care? | Preferred location lets staff route the lead to the specific setting the family wants instead of booking a tour for the wrong format. |

Built for early dismissal care workflows
| Cliont capability | Early Dismissal Care application |
|---|---|
| Guardian authorization check | Flags submissions where the person requesting care isn't confirmed as the parent or legal guardian, before staff hold a tour slot for them. |
| Frequency-based scoring | Weighs a weekly early dismissal schedule higher than an occasional once-a-year need, so staff can prioritize families likely to need a standing seat. |
| Location routing | Uses the family's stated preference for in-home, center, or school-based care to route the lead to the right program format before booking a tour. |
| Care-needs flagging | Surfaces allergy or medical notes on the lead record so staff can confirm they can safely accommodate the child ahead of the tour. |
Common early dismissal care lead scenarios
Weekly early release schedule
A school dismisses early every week and the family needs a standing seat for three siblings, which the intake flags as a recurring, higher-value placement rather than a one-off.
One-off dismissal day a few times a year
A single child only needs coverage on scattered early dismissal days each year, and the family is planning well ahead rather than needing a spot immediately.
Immediate need before Friday's release
The next early dismissal is days away and the family needs care arranged now, which the intake surfaces as urgent so staff can respond before the seat goes elsewhere.
Inquiry from a non-guardian
A grandparent or babysitting service submits the request instead of the parent or legal guardian, which the intake flags for verification before a tour is booked.
Siblings across age groups, unsure of setting
A family with both elementary and middle schoolers isn't sure whether they want in-home, center-based, or school-site care, so the intake captures that uncertainty for staff to resolve before the tour.

Early Dismissal Care lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle families with more than one child?
The intake asks how many children need care on early dismissal days, so a family requesting three seats is distinguished from a single-child request when staff review capacity for that day.
Why does the form ask if I'm the parent or legal guardian?
This confirms the person arranging care is actually authorized to enroll the child, which matters because holding a spot for someone who can't complete enrollment is the exact outcome the intake is built to avoid.
What happens if my child has allergies or other care needs?
The intake asks directly whether the child has care needs like allergies, so staff see that detail before confirming a tour rather than discovering it on arrival.
How does the intake account for schools with different early dismissal frequencies?
Families select whether early dismissal happens a few times a year, monthly, weekly, or is still unclear, which tells staff whether they're planning for an occasional need or a standing weekly seat.
Can a family specify where they want care to take place?
Yes, the intake asks whether the family prefers in-home care, a center or provider location, care at the school itself, or is still deciding, so leads can be routed to the right setting.
How is a lead scored when a family isn't sure how often their school does early dismissal?
An unsure answer still carries weight because the family has already expressed a real need for coverage; it's scored lower than a confirmed weekly schedule but still qualifies as a legitimate lead worth following up.
