Open it and see what needs you
Your Today page puts the day's classes, families who owe, new join requests and anything waiting on you in one list. Families and teachers get their own Today page too.
- What needs you first
- Take attendance from today's classes
- Money owed and on the way at a glance
Registration that runs itself
Share one link. Families pick classes for each child, full classes fill a waitlist, and sibling discounts apply on their own.
- Class sizes and waitlists
- Fees per child or per family
- Registration waves on Grow and up
- Copy a semester forward on Sprout and up
Know who has paid, without asking
Families pay by bank or card, or hand you a check. Invoices, reminders and receipts go out on their own, and every payment lands in one list.
- Bank or card through Stripe, or offline
- Families never pay a fee
- Monthly tuition and autopay on Grow and up
- QuickBooks-ready export on Grow and up
Every child's details, always current
Parents keep allergies, medications, emergency contacts and pickup details up to date, and choose what teachers see. You see the full record.
- A full record for every student
- Teachers see what parents leave shared
- Import families from a spreadsheet or your current tool's export
- A family directory each family controls
Assignments, grades and report cards
Teachers post work and grade it, families turn it in for each child, and report cards go home on the day you choose.
- Assignments with student uploads
- A weighted gradebook
- Report cards with optional auto-send
- Attendance on every plan
Everyone hears it the first time
Announcements with an email copy, a channel for each class, and direct and group messages, instead of a group text nobody can search.

- A channel for every class

- Volunteer shifts with a signup link on Sprout and up
- Rooms and the schedule checker on Sprout and up

One app for directors, families and teachers
Directors run the program. Families enroll, pay and keep their children's information current from their phone. Teachers take attendance and, on Grow, post work for their classes. Everyone sees only what their role needs.
Safety is on every plan: staff background checks, plus CPR and training records with expiry alerts.
