Logiciel de gestion After-School Program

An effective after-school program platform handles daily check-in/check-out, online registration, flexible billing, staff scheduling with ratio compliance, and parent communication in one system. It should support per-day and drop-in billing, authorized pickup verification, and capacity tracking. OpenEduCat is built for after-school providers with digital attendance, seasonal registration, flexible billing, and real-time ratio monitoring. It works for single-site programs and multi-location networks.

OpenEduCat's registration portal lets parents browse available programs by age group and schedule, select days, add siblings, and pay registration fees online. Waitlists fill automatically when spots open. Re-enrollment for returning families can be automated each season with early-bird pricing. The entire process runs without paper forms, phone calls, or in-person visits.
