“Our annual re-enrolment process has been a breeze”
Latrobe City Council
Latrobe City Council’s Central Kindergarten Registration Scheme ensures the whole community has access to a fair, equitable and timely system for processing kindergarten enrolments. Whilst 24 of the kindergarten services are managed and operated by the council, the scheme also includes 6 privately run services in their offer.
EnrolNow One enables Latrobe to manage all aspects of the registration and enrolment process with the flexibility of being able to accommodate both managed and private services in the one centralised project. The ability to customise so many components including; email communications, program configurations, online registration and enrolment forms as well as work flow, has been critical to tailoring the software platform to support the unique Latrobe requirements.
Sparkways
EnrolNow commenced working with Sparkways in July 2020 and provides the software platform to manage the enrolment processes and invoicing for 40 kindergarten services.
EnrolNow have designed and built a software solution to support Sparkways unique requirements. It’s more than just software, EnrolNow continue to support Sparkways with a managed services approach. The Sparkways managed kindergartens and preschool services are spread over 13 Melbourne LGAs, each LGA centrally allocates children to services. EnrolNow upload all councils lists as they are provided, so that Sparkways can kick off their enrolment process; a welcome email with program preference form followed by confirmation and account setup.
The EnrolNow Transact module allows Sparkways to manage the big task of invoicing and payments across all services to every family. Via EnrolNow Transact parents agree to fee policy and terms, they setup eDDRs, email invoices, collect payments and reconcile payments.

KINGSTON
EnrolNow work with the City of Kingston to support their centralised registration scheme to 26 kindergarten services within their council.

“It was easy to use, I clicked on the link, quickly updated my child. Then it even asked if I would like to also update my other child’s records. So much easier than having to fill out a paper form and remember to return it.”
When an offer is accepted, I am able to elect to send off all our paperwork automatically with a customised message explaining our enrolment process, this is such a time saver! Thanks to EnrolNow for filling a gap in the market and providing a wonderful, user friendly solution.
“The KIMS upload has cut my confirmation time down significantly. It probably saved me hours that I would have spent manually entering the children as well as reducing the opportunity for error. Having the enrolment form that had all the parent data as mandatory also meant we did not have to go back to our families repeatedly to ask for more information. Thank you!”
“I very much enjoyed working with you as we get the whole thing up and running. You have proven to be extremely flexible and helpful, it is much appreciated.”
