Your waitlist isn't working for you

Families on your waitlist are connected to dozens of parents just like them. Without a referral program, that network stays untapped.

💬

Word-of-mouth is happening anyway

Parents already recommend you in group chats and at pickup. You just have no way to track it, reward it, or amplify it.

💸

Ads don't build trust for childcare

No Facebook ad can replace a neighbor saying "I trust them with my child." Stop paying for clicks when referrals convert at 3× the rate.

Answers Before You Commit

Enrolled families get a unique referral link or QR code. When a referred family enrolls, the referring parent earns a reward automatically — typically a tuition credit. It's Buzzing tracks every referral, issues rewards, and shows you which families are driving the most enrollments. No manual work required.
Tuition credits are the most effective reward for daycare referrals because they directly reduce a parent's biggest expense. A $100–$200 tuition credit for a successful enrollment referral typically drives strong participation. Other options include a free week of care, supply fee waivers, or digital gift cards.
Yes. It's Buzzing provides printable QR codes designed for high-traffic moments. Parents scan the code at your entrance and have a referral link on their phone before they reach their car — ready to share with neighbors, co-workers, and playgroup friends.
It's Buzzing starts at $49 per month. No setup fees. No contracts. When you consider the average lifetime value of an enrolled family is $18,400 — a single referral pays for years of the platform.
91% of parents choose a daycare based on a personal recommendation from someone they trust. No ad can replace the endorsement of a neighbor whose child is already enrolled. A structured referral program turns that organic trust into a trackable, repeatable enrollment source.
