Organizing a childcare business can be time-consuming and complicated. Jackrabbit Care has simplified the way you create and organize your center. The system's Programs & Classes link (left menu) is the place to set up Programs (high-level categories), Classes, Schedules, and create Online Registration forms. In addition, Online Registration forms can also be created using the Enrollment link (left menu).
Permissions are created automatically depending on the role assigned to the user:
- Owner - Can create and add Programs, Classes, and Online Registration forms at the business and site levels.
- Administrator - Aan create Programs, Classes, and Online Registration forms at the site level. An admin is limited to the site(s) they are assigned to in a multi-site childcare business.
| Programs | Think of Programs as an umbrella containing categories. All the classes in your organization are created and fall into categories under that umbrella. Here are some examples of Programs you may offer at your childcare center:
|
Classes | Classes fall into different categories under Programs. If you have a Program labeled Preschool, you could create classes under Preschool that might look like these:
|
| Schedules and Spaces | Depending on the size of your childcare center, you may have multiple schedules for the same class. For example, you offer Preschool - Age 4 with morning and afternoon sessions. You will need to create a schedule for each class option and modify the times/dates to match the class offering, for example:
Spaces are the rooms or areas where classes are held at your facility, for example, Classroom 1, Classroom 2, Cafeteria, Library, etc. Schedules and Spaces tabs are located under Programs & Classes (left menu) > View All Schedules.
|
Enrollment | After programs are created, classes are added, and schedules and spaces are set for the classes, it's time to Enroll Children in Classes, Find & Create Class Openings, Drop a Child from a Class, or Move a Child to a Different Class.
|
Reports | To see all Enrollment reports, go to Reports (left menu) > the Real Time Reports card, and click the Enrollment link. Here, you can:
