What is WaitlistPlus?
WaitlistPlus is software that helps childcare centers manage waiting lists, enrollment, and parent communication in one place.
Who are we?
Since 2011, when we launched as DaycareWaitlist.com, our mission has been to take the stress out of managing childcare enrollment. What started as a tool for daycares quickly grew into something bigger, and in response we rebranded as WaitlistPlus. Today, we serve a greater market with software that helps programs of all sizes streamline waiting lists, communicate with families, and fill openings faster.
Who uses WaitlistPlus?
While childcare centers were our first customers, we are used by businesses of all types who need an organized way to collect inquiries, prioritize families, and fill openings faster.
How does WaitlistPlus handle waiting lists?
Families submit an application form; WaitlistPlus builds a centralized list with priority rules, timestamps, and notes. You can sort, filter, and move families into open spots with one click.
Can I set custom statuses and workflows?
Yes. Create statuses like "Contacted", "Tour Scheduled", "Offer Sent", and "Enrolled", then bulk-update multiple families to keep the pipeline current. - Find out more
Does WaitlistPlus support bulk email to parents?

It surfaces best-fit families by room, age, start date, etc. and lets you contact them in batches. Real-time filters and notes cut admin time and reduce empty seats.
