When looking for the right class management software to operate your gym, swim school, or studio, there are a few things to consider:
- Does it work well for office staff to manage classes and accounts?
- Is it easy for parents to navigate and use for payments and enrolling in classes?
- Can my instructors use this tool to make them most prepared for class?
And the answer is ‘absolutely’. Here at Jackrabbit Class, we believe our cloud-based class management software can make life easier for all parties involved. I’ve been told – happy parents and happy staff = a happy owner, which is why Jackrabbit has portals for each – one for parents and one for staff.
