Why Your Centre
Is Stuck,
And How To
Fill Every Seat
The 5-Gear System · Australian Childcare · 2026
- You run a great centre — but rooms aren't as full as they should be
- You've tried ads, agencies, Facebook posts — still stuck at the same occupancy
- Enquiries come and go with no predictable system behind them
- Families tour your centre and then disappear without enrolling
- Every empty seat is costing you $2,500–$3,000 every single month

What's Inside
Most Directors Think They Have A Lead Problem.
What we see across every centre we work with is something very different. Leads aren't the issue — the system they land in is broken at every stage. One broken gear stalls the whole machine.
This playbook walks you through all five gears, in sequence, with real examples and action steps you can implement this week — whether you do it yourself or want us to build it for you.
"Invest $600 to make $59,000 — that's the real maths of childcare marketing."
The Enrolment Offer
Build a 3-door offer system that gives parents a compelling reason to act NOW — not scroll past you.
Traffic
Google Ads, Meta Ads, and the free Google review strategy that tripled one centre's Map Pack visibility.
Lead Nurture
The 2-Hour Rule and a 14-day follow-up sequence that turns cold enquiries into booked tours.
Tour Conversion
A step-by-step tour structure with scripts for the 4 most common objections — and how to close on the day.
The Revenue Model
The 8 numbers to track weekly, your real cost per seat, and how to make growth self-funding.

To Be Clear — This Is Not Some 1-Page, AI-Created Download.
I spent 3 weeks actually writing this myself, pulling what is working right now across real childcare centres — so you get the full system instead of guessing from random tips. Over 30+ pages of real systems from centres across NSW, VIC, QLD, WA and ACT — not recycled marketing theory. Every chapter gives you the concept, the common mistakes, the framework, and action steps you can start this week. Read it yourself, or hand it to your team. Either way, the seats get filled.
