Managing multiple payment vendors can be incredibly taxing for any organization, and K-12 schools are no exception. One area of school administration where this is most obvious is with after-school childcare billing.
As school administrators, you’re responsible for keeping track of all participating family members, any medical or food allergies, emergency contacts, attendance billing, and so much more. If only there was a single source that could handle all of these items in one software solution.
EduTrak offers a robust and effective unified software solution that can dramatically reduce the stress and complexity involved with child care.
Child Care Programs
Many K-12 schools offer childcare programs for school-aged children. When a school offers this service, it simplifies the parent’s life and provides a new financial resource for school administrations. In turn, EduTrak offers a solution that simplifies school administrator’s lives.
Additionally, childcare programs for infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers benefit from having a single-source payment solution. And lest we forget, there are many other programs including private music lessons, tutoring, after-school activities, etc. that charge fees based on students’ attendance. These programs will also find the EduTrak billing and attendance software easy to use and beneficial.
Starting with the Parents
Parents with school-aged children have more than enough to contend with on any given day. If their child’s school offers even the slightest amount of help to ease their stress, the parents are grateful.
For those schools that do offer child care, using EduTrak’s solution, offers real-time enrollment, confirmation, and payment. Parents can maintain emergency card data, they can access browsable activity catalogs that are tailored for students by location, grade, and gender, and much more.
The best feature of the EduTrak solution is that it offers the fewest clicks from login to checkout and provides an easy-to-navigate registration process with a step-by-step progress status bar, as well as the ability to save the registration progress and return later. The latter is a feature anyone with young children will understand is essential to getting anything accomplished.
