Preschool classroom management is not an easy feat. It’s a juggling act between helping parents know what’s going on, staying in compliance with regulations, and supporting classroom activities. Fortunately, technology has answered our prayers and made our lives easier.
Combined with its strategic integrations, EnrolNow is a great solution to make
preschool classroom management easy and run smoothly.
The challenges of preschool classroom management
Classroom management in preschools comes with its own unique challenges:
- Compliance requirements: Attendance, enrolments, consents and regulatory paperwork are time consuming and prone to errors.
- Parent communication: Teachers and administrators spend lots of time informing parents on preschool activities and announcements.
- Payment tracking: Without the right tools it can be a pain to manage fees or additional payments (eg. deposits, working bees, levies)..
- Teacher support: Teachers require simple to use systems access all the enrolment data for each child
These challenges are addressed head on when integrating EnrolNow with platforms that teachers and administrators spend the most time working in – so that they can concentrate on what’s really important: providing a great learning environment.
How EnrolNow integrations transform preschool classroom management
EnrolNow is more than just a management system; it’s a central hub that connects with powerful tools to simplify classroom operations. Let’s see how its integrations with platforms such as Kinderloop, Burst SMS and more work to streamline classroom management.
Burst SMS
At the core of classroom management is effective communication and Burst SMS takes it to an entire new level. When EnrolNow and Burst SMS are integrated together, administrators can push information to parents on classroom actions, update them on events, or drive channelled alerts if needed.
Imagine this: an incident occurs at the service, a quick SMS ensures every parent is informed. It’s fast, efficient, and eliminates the time spent chasing down emails or making calls. This tool keeps everyone in the loop with minimal effort.

Compliance and reporting often feel like a full-time job, but EnrolNow’s integration with the Department of Education ensures your centre stays on track. Enrolments, attendance and other key data between your preschool and department runs like ‘clockwork’.
In Victoria for EnrolNow users this includes;
– KIM report as a csv export file for Multiple Child Upload in KIMS (Kindergarten Information Management System). This csv file is a specially scripted report in the required format so it can be quickly and effortlessly uploaded to meet Department of Education funding requirements.
– Attendance data is collected via EnrolNow Digital Sign In Sign Out, all required data will be automatically synced at regular intervals to Arrival via the DE API.

Similar functional integrations & Department of Education APIs are supported for other Australian states.
This integration reduces the work pertaining to data entry manually, eliminating errors, and providing an easy process for reporting. They have an accurate record, and it is accessible whenever needed.
Kinderloop
The word classroom management doesn’t just mean schedules and compliance; it is about making meaningful connections with parents. Teachers can use Kinderloop to share real time updates, photos and progress reports with parents – providing them insight into the learning journey of their child.
