Extended-hours intake that flags overnight and shift-based needs
Ask about early-morning, evening, overnight, weekend, or rotating shift hours, confirm how many children need care and their ages, and collect work-schedule verification—so only families who truly need extended coverage take up tour time.

The questions your team needs answered
Every extended-hours daycare intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What hours do you need childcare coverage for? | Overnight, weekend, and variable/rotating shift selections carry the highest weights, identifying the hardest-to-staff schedules first. |
| How many children need care? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| What are the ages of the children needing care? | Multi-select ages let a family with siblings across age groups submit one enquiry, so staffing ratios can be assessed accurately. |
| How soon do you need extended-hours care to start? | An immediate start is weighted well above 'planning ahead,' so time-sensitive shift-coverage needs are surfaced before speculative ones. |
| Is this care needed on a recurring schedule rather than occasional or one-time? | A recurring schedule is weighted higher than occasional care, since ongoing coverage is what actually justifies holding an extended-hours spot. |
| Are you the parent or legal guardian of the child or children needing care? | A wide gap between the yes and no weights flags submissions from someone other than the parent or legal guardian before a tour is booked. |

Built for extended-hours daycare workflows
| Cliont capability | Extended-Hours Daycare application |
|---|---|
| Weighted answer scoring | Ranks overnight, weekend, and rotating-shift requests above single early-departure requests, since those hour types carry the highest weights in the catalog. |
| Multi-select branching | Lets a family flag infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age children in one submission when siblings need extended-hours coverage together. |
| Recurring-schedule flag | Separates families needing ongoing shift-based coverage from those with a one-off evening or overnight request, so you don't hold a recurring slot for an occasional need. |
| Guardian verification | Confirms the submitter is the parent or legal guardian before a lead is routed to your CRM as tour-ready. |
Example extended-hours daycare lead scenarios
Illustrative situations explain the intake questions and possible follow-up.
Rotating shift-worker parent
A parent needing variable or rotating shift hours starting immediately signals the highest-value combination in the catalog, so the intake flags it for a same-week tour.
Overnight and weekend nurse
Someone needing both overnight and weekend coverage on a recurring basis pairs two high-value hour selections with the recurring-schedule question, distinguishing them from a one-off request.
Planning ahead, no fixed date
A family selecting 'planning ahead, no fixed date' still gets captured with full hour and age details, but the lower start-timing weight means they route to your pipeline for later follow-up rather than an urgent tour.
Occasional evening sitter need
A parent who needs occasional (not recurring) evening coverage for one child scores lower on the recurring-schedule question, helping you separate true extended-hours enrollments from sporadic requests.
Sibling group, early departure
A family with three or more children spanning toddler and preschool ages needing early-morning drop-off tests both the multi-select age question and headcount, showing staffing needs before you commit a tour slot.

Extended-Hours Daycare lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake prioritize overnight or rotating-shift requests over standard early-drop-off requests?
Overnight, weekend, and variable/rotating shift hour selections carry higher weights than a single early-morning or evening need, so families whose schedules are hardest to place surface first in your CRM.
What happens when a family says they're 'planning ahead, no fixed date'?
That answer carries a lower weight than 'immediately' or 'within a month,' so the lead still reaches your CRM with full hour and age detail but is flagged for later follow-up instead of an urgent tour.
Does the intake confirm the person submitting the form is actually the child's parent or guardian?
Yes—the guardian question carries a strong weight difference between a yes and no answer, which helps you spot inquiries submitted by grandparents, nannies, or third parties before you hold a spot.
How does a recurring versus occasional schedule affect the lead score?
Recurring extended-hours need is weighted higher than an occasional or one-time request, since recurring coverage is what actually fills an extended-hours slot long-term.
Can a family request care for children in different age groups on the same intake?
Yes—the age question is multi-select, so a family with an infant and a school-age child needing extended coverage submits both in one enquiry rather than two separate forms.
How is this intake different from your Infant Daycare or Part-Time Daycare forms?
This intake leads with hour-coverage questions (early morning, evening, overnight, weekend, or shift-based) rather than age-specific care questions, since the qualifying factor for extended-hours enrollment is schedule fit, not age group alone.
