Oz Education Improves Centre Efficiency and Boosts Enrolment with LineLeader by ChildcareCRM
We could be losing families because of price and facilities but we’re not losing them because of time and now we’re enrolling them alot faster!
Saja Moussa
Family and Communities Manager, Oz Education Early Learning Centres
Established in the late 1990’s, Oz Education provides a holistic approach to a child’s development. After a few decades, Oz Education felt the need to adapt their enrolment journey to the needs of today's modern families. Manual enrolment processes often resulted in delayed communications with families and lost lead opportunities.

LineLeader Enrol
Improving Centre Efficiency and Organisation
For decades, Oz Education relied on manual paper-based enrolment processes that left both staff and families confused about where each lead fell in the journey to enrolment. When a new lead enquired for care, centre staff would write down their information on a word document and at the end of each week, they shared the document with the head office for review and follow-up. However, within one week, a single centre might receive more than 30 enquiries and with 8 locations, the number of leads who didn’t receive quick responses was in the hundreds.
The word document we were using to store family details and enquiries included families from 5 years ago. The follow up process became very inaccurate and we were wasting our time calling families who were no longer interested in care. It was also difficult to know who wanted a spot or who was just enquiring to learn more

Reducing Lost Opportunities with Automated Responses
LineLeader's Workflow Automation tool ensures every family is followed up with – promptly. Once a family has enquired for care, the system sends automated emails and texts with information to help families book a tour, learn more about the centre, and more. These automated workflows help centre staff save valuable time so they can focus on what matters most – the enroled children in their care.
Exceeding Parents’ Expectations with Texting
60% of today’s parents prefer to communicate with businesses through text messaging. But allowing staff to use their personal cell phones can cause distractions or lead to miscommunications among internal teams. LineLeader allows Oz Education staff to text with families through the CRM, using automated templates or one-to-one conversations. This ensures that if one staff member is away from their desk and can’t respond, another team member can pick up where they left off, so no family feels forgotten.
