Executive Planning - Now Available
Model growth and forecast the impact of strategic decisions, combining historical trend analysis with interactive what-if scenario modeling.
Who is this for?
Business stakeholders and school leaders looking to model growth, test pricing strategies, and forecast the revenue impact of strategic decisions across their organization.
What-if scenario modeling
Adjust key business drivers such as enrollment rates, tuition pricing, and discount levels, and instantly see the projected impact on revenue and student counts compared to your current period's actuals.
Expansion planning
Model the revenue impact of adding new schools or classes. Configurable enrollment-per-school and enrollment-per-class assumptions let you stress-test growth scenarios before committing.
Cash flow & revenue trends
Track how what-if changes flow through to monthly revenue streams. Forecast the financial impact of tuition, enrollment, and expansion decisions over time so leaders can plan with confidence.
Actionable insights & health indicators
Look for the lightbulb icons throughout the report. Hovering surfaces provide detailed insights with built-in recommendations. Tuition insights show gross tuition, discounts, net tuition per student per week, and a discount rate health gauge that flags when discounting may be hurting revenue. Enrollment insights surface utilization rate, waitlist-to-enrollment ratio, and potential viable classes estimated from waitlist demand.
Downloadable impact analysis
Export detailed period-vs-modeled comparison tables covering gross tuition, discounts, net tuition, and enrollment breakdowns. Save and compare multiple scenarios capturing conservative, baseline, and aggressive growth projections side by side.

Split Payment Agreements - Beta Release
Multiple billing contacts, such as two parents or a parent and guardian, can now each have autopay enabled on a single account, with each party managing their own share independently.
Previously, only one contact could have autopay active per account. Families with shared financial responsibility were left managing manual payments, duplicate accounts, or other workarounds, creating extra work for both families and staff.
How it works
- Admin: Create the Split Payment Agreement and define each contact's share
- Billing Contact: Set up their own autopay method for their agreed-upon portion
- Ongoing: Each contact's autopay runs independently without manual coordination
Who benefits?
Families
Parents and guardians in split-custody, co-parenting, or any multi-payer arrangement can each manage their own autopay without relying on the other party.
Staff & Administrators
No more duplicate accounts or manually coordinating split payments. Admins create the agreement once, and billing contacts handle the rest themselves.
Admins create, contacts configure. Administrators manage the agreement setup. Each billing contact then sets up their own autopay method, keeping financial responsibility clearly separated and self-managed.

Enrollment Forms in Spanish - Now Available
Admins can now add Spanish translations to their enrollment forms — including custom field labels, dropdown options, page headers, and section titles — into multiple languages. Parents then select their preferred language when filling out enrollment forms, and the entire form experience renders in that language.
How It Works - Admin Experience
Setting Up Translated Custom Fields
We’ve added a new option while creating/editing a custom field to add the Spanish translation. You’ll see a section of language tabs on the form. English is always present as the default language and cannot be removed. When you add a language, you’ll see the translatable sections below. Any language missing a translation will have a warning icon in the tab to remind you to fill it out. Saving is disabled until you have filled out any necessary translations.
Translating Page & Section Headers
- Admins can translate enrollment form page titles and section headers through the same tab-based interface in the Enrollment Form editor
- When a new language is added to a page, all pages in the form get that language with the English title pre-filled as a starting point
Translating Program Descriptions
- Program descriptions also support multi-language display settings, allowing operators to present program information in the parent's selected language
- This release will also come up with a facelift for the program create and edit screens to accommodate more settings, and help to organize the information better.
How It Works - Enrollment Experience
Language Selection
- A language picker dropdown appears at the top of the enrollment wizard
- Parents can switch languages at any time during the enrollment process
Communications
- Email communications triggered by the submission (offer letters, approval notifications, waitlist confirmations) are sent in the parent's chosen language
- Support and admins can see which language a parent used
Spanish Language Support - Parent App
Spanish-speaking families can now use the Kangarootime parent app entirely in Spanish. The parent controls the language setting; no action is needed from the center.
How It Works
The app will default to the device's language setting, so if the device is already set to Spanish, no further action is required!
What Gets Translated
Everything the app itself generates: navigation and screen labels, billing and account summaries, attendance and check-in/check-out screens, activity and gallery sections, and the messaging interface (the UI itself, not staff-written message content, see below).
What Doesn't Get Translated
- Downloadable documents (statements, invoices, billing forms): will continue to display in English
- Staff-written content: messages and notes appear in whatever language the staff member wrote them in
- The registration/enrollment experience operates under its own language rules, independent from the app setting. The Spanish enrollment form experience covered above applies there.
Parent Web Experience
The parent web portal will also be translated into Spanish, though that work is in progress and not yet available. When it launches, it will follow the same translation rules and exceptions as the app.
Parent App Check In/Check Out notifications - Now Available
Primary contacts can now receive a push notification when their student is checked in or out, keeping families informed in real time.
Opt-in notification controls
Parents can enable or disable check-in and check-out notifications independently under Settings → Notifications in KT Connect, where each notification type can be toggled on or off separately.
Who receives Check in/Check Out notifications?
Notifications are sent exclusively to Primary Contacts. If the primary contact was the person who performed the check-in or check-out themselves, they will not receive a notification. Only events completed by another person (including staff) will trigger a notification.
Notification details
Each notification includes the student's name, school, time of the attendance event, and the name of the adult who completed the check in or check out, giving Primary Contacts full context at a glance.
