Enrollment and Attendance Management: Kangarootime replaces Sandbox’s enrollment tools with custom enrollment forms, waitlist management, open spot forecasting, and more. Our check-in process allows for safe drop-off and pick-up. Attendance tracking gives you insight into where each child is at all times, and who they are with, ensuring your center is secure and compliant.
Communication and Parent Engagement: Kangarootime’s Parent App provides a beautiful user experience and singular place for families to go to for everything. Similar to Sandbox, our app offers digital daily notes, photos and videos, and student messaging. We also offer in-app payments, check-in and check-out, drop-in care, and re-enrollment. Now, parents have everything they need to connect to your center.
Billing and Financial Management: If you’re used to automatic invoicing and financial reporting in Sandbox, you’ll love Kangarootime’s suite of financial features. Custom billing cycles, invoicing, flagged payment alerts, and robust reporting allow you to save hours each week and gain more insight into your center’s finances. Our system allows you to simplify your billing process and recognize revenue faster.
Classroom Management: Go beyond center management and save your educators time in the classroom with Kangarootime’s Point of Care App. Teachers can now record daily notes, track attendance, and communicate with parents and staff all from their tablet. Better tools for your workforce result in happier staff members, higher retention, more time to focus on the children.
Staff Management: When it comes to staffing, Kangarootime has you covered. Set schedules, manage time-off requests, and review timelogs right in our system. Staff even have their own app, allowing them to clock in and out, view their schedules, request off, and much more in the palm of their hand. Staff can even float between centers and their credentials automatically generate an employee profile at a new center.
Support and Training: We know change is hard. That’s why we’re here to help you every step of the way. With Kangarootime, you get a dedicated account manager to walk you through the onboarding process. They’ll help set up the system, train you on our features, and answer any questions you may have.
