Why schedule your students?

With all of the students, staff, and parents you meet everyday, a schedule can:

  • Easily determine where new students should be placed
  • Schedule make-ups
  • Seat students at specific tables or with specific staff
  • Analyze staff needed
  • Evaluate and forecast payroll needs
What is Microsoft Teams?

We look forward to onboarding all franchisees to Microsoft Teams. Watch the video below for more info.

What are client personas?

In operations training, we discuss Parent A and Parent B. These two parents are at ends of the client persona spectrum. They can give you quick and dirty insight into their motivations and goals. Find more about them here.
