      Guiding Principles

      Closing a location in Kindertales is a straightforward process designed to ensure a smooth transition while maintaining essential functionalities for both parents and administrators. There are two principles guiding Kindertales when disabling a location:

      1. Parent Access: Even after deactivating a location, parents can still access important features within Kindertales. This includes signing in to access tax receipts and previous charge receipts. Additionally, parents can continue to make payments for outstanding charges, ensuring seamless financial transactions.

      2. Superadmin Privileges: Superadmins retain access to the desktop interface even when all locations are disabled. This access is crucial for generating reports and managing the center. Superadmins can continue to oversee operations and facilitate administrative processes.

      Priority One: End Care or Transfer Students
