Change the name of a Region, or Add a New One

In most cases you’ll have just one region, but you’ll want to change its name and contact information.

Hint: A Region is a geographic area like ‘Pacific Northwest’ or ‘SE Florida’. If you have just one center use the name of your city. A School is the name of your center. If you have more than one location just indicate that in the name like: Kid’s Place – Downtown.

Change an existing region

  • Click once on the Region Name (like “My Region”) to select it, then click Edit (bottom of screen).

  • Make any desired changes.

  • Click Save > Exit.

Add a new region (for large organizations only)
If you manage locations spread across several geographic areas or that have separate tax ID numbers they should be placed in separate regions. Locations that share a common Bank Account should be in the same region. Each region requires at least one school within the region.

  1. Click Add Region.
  2. Enter a Region Name (like your area or city) and a short abbreviation for the Region Code (like PNW for Pacific Northwest).
  3. Enter the name of the director, email, address, etc. (optional).
  4. Click Save > Exit.

Give the appropriate name to each of your child care locations (known as schools) and update the contact information.
