Manage Preschool, Playgroup & Nursery Enrolment, Billing, and Parents

A preschool, playgroup, and nursery management system for enrolment, billing, documents, invoices, student records, and parent communication in one place.

Built for How Playgroups and Nurseries Actually Run

Young children need more flexible billing, more safety checks, and more parent communication than a typical timetable system provides. Here's what's different about how preschools, playgroups, and nurseries use SchoolTracs.

Invoice generated automatically for a 10-lesson package

Flexible Package Billing, Auto-Calculated Invoice Dates

Preschools bill in different ways — a nursery might charge a simple monthly fee, while a playgroup often sells packages of 10 or 6 lessons. SchoolTracs supports both, and invoices generate automatically from whatever plan a student is actually enrolled in.

  • Supports multiple billing types — 10-lesson packages, 6-lesson packages, or monthly plans — set up once and apply to every student.
  • Invoices automatically calculate the correct lesson dates and count based on the package or monthly cycle.
  • Public holidays are skipped automatically, so you never bill for a lesson that never happened.

Private Messaging Between Teachers and Parents

Parents and teachers stay in touch constantly — notices, progress updates, concerns — without exposing personal phone numbers on either side.

  • Personal phone numbers stay hidden on both sides, keeping communication professional and private.
  • Admins can review conversations when needed, so concerns get resolved with oversight instead of disappearing into personal chats.
  • Managers have full visibility into every teacher-student conversation, helping maintain consistent communication quality across the centre.

Safe Check-In, Verified Pickup

What parents care about most is who's picking up their child. Scan a student's QR code to check them in, and set an authorized pickup list for every student.

  • Scan each student's QR code to check them in — no manual roll call needed.
  • Set an authorized pickup list per student, verified before anyone can take them home.
  • Parents get an instant app notification the moment their child is checked in.

Daily Journal with Photos

Young children can't describe their own day, so the learning journal keeps an ongoing record for every student instead.

  • Teachers upload a photo or short note after class — AI turns it into a written entry for review before posting.
  • Parents see the day's meals, naps, and activities in the Student App in real time.
  • Entries build into an ongoing progress history for later reference.

Case Study

How Mulberry House International Kindergarten Synced Student Data Across Three Branches

Mulberry House is a Mandarin-focused, bilingual playgroup and kindergarten founded in 2015, now operating three branches across Hong Kong. Before SchoolTracs, student data and scheduling lived in two separate systems that were difficult to keep in sync. Switching to SchoolTracs consolidated both into a single platform, keeping student records and timetables aligned across all three branches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SchoolTracs work for preschools, playgroups, and nurseries alike?

Yes. Whether your centre calls itself a preschool, a playgroup, or a nursery, SchoolTracs handles enrolment, package or monthly billing, rescheduling, and parent communication the same way.

How do you verify who's allowed to pick up a child?

Each student can have an authorized pickup list. Staff check the list before releasing a child, and parents get an instant app notification the moment their child is checked in or out.

Can parents see the daily journal and photos in real time?

Yes. Teachers upload a photo or short note after class, and it appears in the Parent App right away, along with a running record of meals, naps, and activities.

Do you support package pricing, like 10-lesson or 6-lesson bundles, not just monthly billing?

Yes. You can set up 10-lesson packages, 6-lesson packages, or monthly plans, and invoices are generated automatically with the correct dates and lesson counts for whichever plan a student is on.

How does rescheduling work when a room is already full?

Every room has a capacity limit. When you reschedule a class or enrol a new student, SchoolTracs checks the room's capacity automatically and blocks the change if it would go over.
