Parent Registration Applications in a Daycare Management Software

In EZChildTrack, a web based childcare management software, there’s an option for parents to specify their registration and enrollment preferences. Not all parents have the same requirements. Each parent might have specific programs and activities they would want their children to be registered and enrolled in. 

Using EZChildTrack’s secure online application forms, parents can easily specify these preferences without any hassle and without the need of any external support. This saves not only the organization’s time but the parents’ time as well as they need not visit the premises to specify their requirements.

The EZChildTrack software can be used by parents with a registered account number to log into the system. With this option, registered account holders can specify registration/enrollment preferences. Program Directors create and approve parent applications. The electronic form is divided into sections. Each section is dedicated to details linked to the account holder. 

There’s a “My Account” section which can be used to include the primary and secondary account holder’s demographics, a “My Children” section wherein you can include info about your child as well as registration/enrollment specifications, a “Terms and Conditions” page and so on. With such a structured organization, it becomes easy to retrieve as well as enter required data. Program directors can further scan application based on their status. 

Approved applications are arranged in a separate folder whereas pending and deleted applications have a folder of their own as well. The Wait List folder allows the program director to find out account holders who are in waiting list for a specified program.

Parent applications can be accessed anytime of the day irrespective of the place you are in. Being a web based software, users can access, create, modify, delete data whenever required.
