Everything is presented in one place, like a catalog displaying essential information such as dates, locations, prices, and available seats. Additionally, it facilitates online payments, streamlining the entire registration process.

Integrating this feature on the same platform as activity listings and payments simplifies administrative tasks, allowing parents to effortlessly enroll their children and approve activities with just a few clicks.
3. Child and Family Profiles
The Child and Family Profiles feature embodies efficiency and convenience, requiring parents to complete their child’s profile only once. This profile is reusable for multiple activity registrations, eliminating redundant data entry and ensuring all vital information is consistently recorded. The Family Profile further streamlines updating family details, significantly improving the user experience for busy parents.
4. Check-In and Check-Out
AfterSchool HQ’s Check-In and Check-Out feature emphasizes the commitment to safety and efficiency in after-school programs. Utilizing a secure, PIN-based system, ensures that only authorized individuals can manage student arrivals and departures.
The feature is enhanced by real-time attendance tracking, providing instant updates to parents and educators, thus offering reassurance and maintaining a secure student environment. This functionality is integral in modernizing and securing the student attendance process, offering an efficient, reliable solution for program administrators.
