You can set up childcare using the guest framework.
The setup is simple and mirrors many of the processes you’re likely already familiar with, such as adding classes to the schedule, utilizing specific classrooms and layouts, and creating credit packages and membership contracts.
Before you can add childcare to your platform, make sure you have a “Childcare” class tag and associated payment permission created in your admin site.
Adding Childcare Classes to your Schedule
Before you can add a childcare class to your schedule, you must ensure you have a proper Class Type created.
Next, make sure you have a designated classroom created for your childcare, with associated First-Come-First-Serve Layouts defining the capacity levels.
Then, you’ll head over to the Schedule to add these childcare “classes” to your schedule.
If you want adults to sign their children up before class, leave the class public, and it will appear on your schedule.
If you don't want your childcare classes visible on your schedule, deselect “Public” at the top. This would now allow parents/guardians to pre-book their child; rather, it would require employees to sign children up upon arrival at the studio.
Continue filling out the fields as necessary ensuring you utilize your childcare Class Type, “Childcare” Class Tag, and the designated classroom and layout.
Once you have the class created on your schedule, you’ll need to create credit packages and/or memberships that can be booked into your childcare classes.
Creating Childcare Credit Packages or Membership Contracts
When creating a credit package or membership contract that is specifically for childcare, you’ll need to create a specific credit type or membership type for the package or contract, indicating that it can be used only for guests (the child(ren)).
Ensure the Locations and Class Type permissions indicate that the credit/membership type can book into any classes tagged “Childcare”.
Equally as important, you’ll ensure that “Guest Only” is selected under Guest Allowances. This prevents the buyer (parent/guardian) from accidentally booking themselves into a childcare class, which would affect their total class count.
