Help parents save a little at a time
Putting aside small amounts each week is easier than finding the whole fee at once. A simple way to set money aside for the next term can make your app part of family life.

Make paying the school easy
A clear payment with the child's name and a receipt saves parents a trip and saves the school paperwork. Show every fee before the parent pays.
Grow school by school
One school that recommends your app to its parents can bring hundreds of families. Start with one school, make it work well, then ask for an introduction to the next.
