After-school program management
After-school program management: enrollment, tuition and safe dismissal
After-school programs run every weekday, so small jobs add up: who comes on Tuesdays, whose tuition failed, who may pick up which child. BackPR keeps enrollment, billing, attendance and pickup together.
How it works
Step by step
Made for: School-based and community after-school programs, before-care, PTAs and nonprofits running enrichment.
Step 1
Enroll by day of the week
Families choose the days their child attends. Capacity is kept per day, and staff can enter registrations for families who call or come in.
Step 2
Bill weekly, monthly or by term
Recurring tuition with autopay, proration for mid-month starts, late fees if you use them, family credits and failed payment retries.
Step 3
Take attendance on a phone
Staff mark attendance on any phone. Families get an absence notification when a child who was expected isn't checked in.
Step 4
Dismiss safely
Each child's dismissal method is on the roster. Pickup is checked against the authorized list with a PIN or QR code, and the blocked adults list warns staff.
Step 5
Report to funders
Attendance history and attendance hours reports for grants come from the same check-ins, so there is no second spreadsheet.
