You can create a Form Checklist to link to other forms, embed forms, allow the parent to upload a file, and so much more. Our form builder has so many features, even we forget some from time to time!
Manage enrollment and only pay for when you're in session.
Closed for winter break? No problem. You can customize your school's sessions and manage classroom placement for each session. You're only charged for children in your current session, so you don't have to be billed when you're not using us.
If you have a child joining or leaving mid-session, we offer fine-grained controls with a child's First Day and Last Day, so they only show up once they're enrolled at your school.
Track why and when children leave your school, and automatically request an Exit Survey from families to gather more information.
