Features

Everything a center runs on, connected.

No more exporting from one tool to import into another. Your families, schedule, staff, messages, and growth all live in the same place — and finally talk to each other.

Families & students

The whole family, on one record.

  • Households, contacts, and students linked the way real families actually are.
  • Per-subject enrollments, placement, and a pause & withdraw lifecycle.
  • Assessments tied to each student, not lost in a binder.
  • Notes and custody details where the front desk can find them.

  • A single classroom schedule — recurring slots plus one-off changes.
  • Check-in and a live attendance board that match the plan in real time.
  • Walk-ins handled without breaking the schedule.
  • Punctuality and capacity surfaced at a glance.

Staff & payroll

Auto-build the schedule, run the clock, prep payroll.

  • Draft a whole pay period from your coverage needs in one click — you review and publish, nothing is force-fit.
  • Build and adjust staff schedules against your real operating hours.
  • A genuine time clock with breaks and corrections.
  • Timesheets that roll straight into payroll prep.
  • Stop paying for a separate scheduling app and a separate time clock.
Communication

Email and text from one place.

  • Two-way texting and email without a separate service.
  • Reusable templates for the messages you send every week.
  • Automation that sends the right note at the right moment.
  • Every message logged on the family's record.

Parent portal

Give families their own front door.

  • A private login for each family — progress, schedule, and attendance.
  • Email, SMS, and in-app messages in one thread.
  • Billing reminders and schedule at a glance.
  • Requests and self-service info updates, so the front desk fields fewer calls.
Getting started

Bring your history with you, in minutes.

  • Upload the export from whatever you use now — a roster, a progress history, a test log.
  • Columns are mapped for you, and you can save the mapping and reuse it next time.
  • Preview exactly what will be added and what will be updated, before anything is written.
  • Your lending library comes across the same way — one file instead of typing in a catalog.

Light or dark — your team's call.

Every screen comes in both. Each person picks what's easy on their eyes; the work looks the same either way.

Growth & leads

Track inquiries from first contact through orientation to enrolled — with sources, subject interests, and a structured intake that hands off cleanly into a student record.

⚙️

Automation

Rules that watch for the moment — a missed class, a new lead, an upcoming bill — and send the right message or spin up the right task. Set it once and let it run.

🧾

Billing reminders

Per-family billing schedules with automatic reminders and follow-up tasks, so payments don't slip through the cracks — without a full accounting system to learn. Online payments are processed by Stripe, or by Intuit Payments Inc. for centers that connect QuickBooks.

📊

Lists & exports

Build any list of families, students, or staff with saved filters, export it, and reuse it. Your data, answering your questions — no spreadsheet gymnastics.

📚

Lending library

Track the books, tablets, and learning kits you lend out — checked out to a student, due back on a date, and flagged when they're overdue. Bring your existing catalog in from one spreadsheet instead of typing it all in.

📄

Documents & e-sign

Request a document from a family, let them sign it online, and keep it on the record where you'll actually find it again — enrollment agreements, media releases, policy updates.

Everything included.

One subscription, the whole platform — not a stack of add-ons. Here's the full picture.
