Children and families

Adding families and children

Add a family, its parents and guardians, and each child with their room, schedule and fees.

Every child belongs to a family, and parents and guardians are added on the family. This keeps brothers and sisters together on one account and one invoice.

Add a family

Go to Records → Families, click New family, and give it a name (e.g. Bruni family) and address.

Then add each parent or guardian under Parents and guardians: name, relationship, email and mobile. For each, choose:

  • Primary contact
  • Can pick up the children, and whether they live with the children
  • whether they get centre notices by email and by text

Add a child

Go to Records → Children → New child, choose the family, and fill in:

  • Enrolment: status, start date, Room or program and Schedule
  • Fees: Fee plan, your province's fee reduction and subsidy, and any discount (see Fee plans and Government funding)
  • Health: allergies (shown to all staff), medical conditions and medications

Brothers and sisters

On a child's page, the Family section shows their brothers and sisters. Click Add a child to this family and the family and last name are filled in for you.

Pickup and emergency contacts

On the child's page, add grandparents, nannies and others under contacts, with whether they can pick up and whether they're an emergency contact.
