Exciting New Updates to Boost Your Childcare Management Experience!

We’re thrilled to unveil a range of powerful enhancements that make managing your center smoother and more efficient. Check out what’s new this month:

More flexibility in designing Forms

Our 'Forms' feature allows you to design forms for staff, students, and prospective parents and share them via email, shareable URL, or embed them directly into your website. The interface offers extensive customization options for a seamless user experience. Adding to the list of flexible features, the following updates are now available:

  • Page Breaks: Add page breaks to enable better readability and easier navigation between sections.

  • New Background Designs: Add a background image or color for fresh, modern looks for your forms.

  • Hide School Name, Logo : Embed forms seamlessly anywhere by hiding the school name, and logo for a polished presentation.


    💡 Do you know the best part about Student Forms?

    Form Submissions automatically update student profiles with key data captured in forms and can be exported through reports for future reference.


Credit Flow Improvements

We’ve streamlined credit management for better clarity:

  • Credit Notes: Manage all issued credit notes, which can be linked to invoices or given independently. Credit notes applied to outstanding invoices will settle balances instantly. And credit notes applied to paid invoices will add balance amount to Credit Balance.

  • Credit Balance: Think of it as a digital wallet! Track available credit, add funds, transfer deposits, or adjust balances through refunds.

Enjoy better organization and clearer insights with this split-view approach.
