Once you Create an Online Registration Form and Invite Parents/Contacts to Download the CircleTime Mobile App, having parents and contacts register children for programs using CircleTime™ is easy! Why have families register using CircleTime?
- Save time by allowing parents to self-upload documents needed to enroll.
- Ensure families agree to and sign policies before a child's first day of class.
- Reduce managing paper checklists and emails from families during registration time.
Registration vs. Enrollment
-
Registration is the process of pre-enrolling in a program. During this process, a center can request information from a parent or contact to review before accepting, rejecting, or waitlisting their registration.
-
Enrollment is the process of placing a child in a class once their registration is approved. In the enrollment phase of CircleTime, you can request additional information from a family before a child's first day of class.
Each step of the process has different types of information that can be collected from families. When an information type is selected while creating an Online Registration form, it becomes a step for your families to complete when registering or enrolling using CircleTime.

If your Online Registration form includes additional enrollment steps, families can move on to the Enrollment process to complete these steps through CircleTime while awaiting a decision on their registration.

After enrollment is submitted, your center can Review & Process Online Registration Forms to see the additional information provided and make a final decision to approve, reject, or waitlist a family and further place them in a class.
Whether a family completes a registration or both a registration and an enrollment, a child will not be enrolled until an Owner or Administrator approves their registration and enrolls them in a class.
