  5. Click the add button to add a new pricing tier
  6. Fill out the required information:
    1. Description: Enter a description for the pricing. (E.g. days per week, full-time vs part-time, etc.)
    2. Period: Select the recurring pricing schedule on which Kindertales will automatically add this fee to the child’s account. If monthly, bi-weekly, weekly are selected you will have the following options:
      1. Bill in Advance: Select if this pricing tier should be billed on a different date (or day of the week) that the service dates associated with it. (e.g Your center bills weekly on Thursdays for the next week OR monthly on the 25th for the upcoming month)
      2. Default Charge Date: The day of the month or the week that the charge should take place for upcoming month or week.

Please note: Already existing pricing tiers cannot be updated to include advanced billing. New pricing tiers need to be created and children enrolled into those pricing tiers.

    1. Period Type: Select Period Rate or Daily Rate. Period Rate allows you to set a fixed price for the whole period. Daily Rate allows you to set a price per day that will billed based on the child’s schedule. (e.g. A price of $50 per day for a child on a weekly schedule of 3 days would result in a $150 charge per week)
    2. Period/Daily Rate: Set the price for the period / day
    3. Single Day Price: Set a Single Day Price (if applicable, this is used by the additional day tool when adding drop-in care)
    4. Start & End Times: Select the start and end times for that program
    5. Max Scheduled Days: Set the maximum number of days per week a child is able to be enrolled into the program
    6. Schedule: Select the default days for this program, if applicable. It can also be left blank if that will be determined on a child-by-child basis. The default days will be limited by the Max Scheduled Days.
  2. Select Save & Add

Kindertales Tips

  • Single Day Prices are typically used for a part-time program (days per week is 4 or less) where the child is allowed to drop in on a day that they are not scheduled for.
  • The End Time will dictate when the timer for the grace period and/or the late pick-up fee will commence.  This can be overridden by adding a unique End Time on a child’s profile.
  • Default Advanced Billing Dates/Days are able to be changed on a child's program when enrolling them to allow for flexibility if a specific family needs to be accommodated.
