“Every week it was the same grind — a long queue to check in for class, manual data entry and payment for every student every week, and a spreadsheet which didn't always reconcile at the end of the night.
Now check-in takes students 10 seconds with a PIN or via their mobile, they buy passes online before class, and the reconciliation is already done before I get home. Three big headaches, gone.”
What keeps kids' dance schools up on a Tuesday
- Term enrolments charged up front, but tracking who actually showed happens on a crumpled register.
- Sibling discounts that take a calculator and a headache to work out at enrolment.
- Parents who want to see attendance history for their kid without DMing the studio owner.
- Pickup chaos — whose grandparent is picking up which kid, and is that even approved?
How SessionHQ fits kids' dance schools
Term passes that match the calendar
A term is a pass with credits for each weekly session. Auto-expires when the term ends; re-enrol for next term.
Parent-managed check-in
The parent's account can check a child in at the kiosk in one tap. Fewer questions at the desk.
Sibling discounts
Apply a discount code for the second/third child. Each child still has their own account for accurate attendance.
Built around how you already talk
- —"Term" pricing is the default for kids' classes — casuals are rare.
- —"Concert" or "showcase" periods often add extra practices that need separate tracking.
Typical passes for kids' dance schools
- Term enrolment (1 class per week)
- Term enrolment (2 classes per week — multi-genre)
- Concert rehearsal add-on
FAQ
- Can parents check their child in at the kiosk?
- Yes. The parent's account can PIN or tap-check the child in at the kiosk. Attendance history is visible to studio admin and can be shared with a parent on request.
- How do sibling discounts work at enrolment?
- Issue a discount code that applies to the second and subsequent enrolments in the same family. Accurate attendance per child; one invoice to the parent.
- Can I store approved-pickup info per child?
- Capture approved-pickup names on the child's member record at signup. Studio admin sees them in the admin view alongside attendance.
