Management Software for Early Education

1. Enrollment Management and Record Keeping

• Enrollment
  • Enrollment Projections accurately change student enrollment statuses and options at future times, such as an automatic advancement of students into higher grades.
  • Waiting List Management simplifies waiting lists so that schools may quickly send acceptances to students as open seats accumulate.
• Attendance
  • Attendance Management brings together all aspects of student's attendance to efficiently track the attendance and absences of all students.
  • Optional Hardware, such as Keypads, Touch Screens, and Signature Capture Tablets, not only offer a sense of security to students and parents but also allow attendance management to be automated.
• Student Records
  • Medical Records, Permissions, and Alerts track information about students' immunization records, allergy problems and medicine requirements to ensure the safety of students and provide automatic notifications and reminders to parents about overdue immunizations.
• Scheduling
  • Student Scheduling utilizes a scheduling system of multiple classes so that edMaster works with your Montessori or school's current scheduling system.
  • Staff Scheduling is integrated with Student Scheduling to maintain user-defined teacher/student ratios and other restrictions.

2. Accounting and Financials

• Billing Projections will help in staff planning and will work as a check-and-balances tool for making sure that billing and the collection of fees are always accurate.
• Cash Management will help you with the accuracy of the parents' and subsidy ledgers and easily resolve any discrepancies that may arise.
• Non-tuition Recurring Charges are automated by edMaster so that non-tuition fees can be monitored and billed accurately and automatically at weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly or user-defined billing periods.
• Payment Plans for Parents allow parents to break fees into partial payments spread throughout the year. edMaster will automate the billing based on the plan that the parent chooses and will also document edMaster ledger cards that help parents understand their plan.
• Interface Compliance with Other Financial Software in edMaster provides interfacing programs for export or import between edMaster and other financial software like Quickbooks, Banner Systems and Great Plains.

3. Communication and Data Accessibility

• edMaster Workstations
  • Additional Workstations with defined user permissions and accessibilty allows teachers and other staff members to access the data inside edMaster easily without risking the data's integrity
• Attendance-Related Hardware
  • Keypads and Touch-screens not only automate attendance but also reveal opportunities for Parent Communication. Parents can review their child's schedules, make tuition payments, give permission for fieldtrips, etc. on the hardware peripherals while dropping their children off at Montessori or school.
• edMasterWeb
  • For all, Online Child Enrollment and Staff Employment Application forms
  • For parents, Online Access to Children's Immunization Records, Account Balance and AR Review, Children's Weekly Schedule Request and Daily Activity Log
  • For teachers and staff, Online Staff's Weekly Schedule Review and Teacher to Parent Communication

4. Executive and Managerial Tools

• Custom Form and Field makers allow for the tracking of any data through customizable forms and custom-made fields.
• Report-Making Tools in edMaster are the most advanced ones in the industry, allowing schools to edit or create reports to include any number or types of fields, including fields created by the user.
• Statistical Tools are built-in to all reports for quick calculations of figures that are significant to the management of Montessori or private schools.
• Completely Editable and Customizable so that the software can mold and change around the specifics of your Montessori or private school rather than the other way around.
