Set up a new center: first steps

The recommended order for setting up a new kidsday center, from school settings to inviting staff and families.

Set up a new center: first steps

When you're setting up a center for the first time, work through these steps in order. Each one has its own Help Center topic.

  1. Settings › School – add your logo, center name, business number, language, time zone and contact details.
  2. Settings › Schedule – choose your working days and turn on attendance tracking for staff.
  3. School › Rooms – create your rooms with their age groups and the daily reports teachers can record.
  4. School › Staff – add your team and assign their roles and rooms.
  5. School › Children and School › Parents – add children (or import them) and invite their parents.
  6. Enrollments – customize your enrollment form and invite new families.
  7. Documents – choose which documents are required for children, staff and your center.
  8. Finances – run the billing setup wizard and create your billing plans.

Tip: Teachers and parents use the kidsday apps. Once staff and families are invited, point them to the Teachers and Parents sections of the Help Center.
