Turn tools on and off, and what each plan includes

Written By Joshua Barnett

This article helps you choose which tools your program uses and shows what each plan includes.

Before you start

  • You are a director of the program.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings → Tools. Tools are grouped under People, Program, Finances, Community and Website.
  2. Find the tool and flip its switch.
  3. You see Turned on. It's back in your menu and your families' menu. or Turned off. It's hidden from menus; nothing was deleted.

What the labels mean

  • Always on: core tools you can't switch off (Families & students, Teachers & staff, Terms & registration, Billing & payments, Messages). Your website shows Included with a Set up → link.
  • A plan name with a lock (for example Grow plan) and an Upgrade to Grow button: the tool needs a higher plan.

What each plan includes

  • Free ($0, up to 10 families): classes, registration, attendance, online payments, the family portal, announcements, messages, family directory, staff records, second parent, co-directors and your website.
  • Sprout ($29/mo, up to 35 families): adds calendar and events, volunteering, email invites, removing LearningSense branding, rooms and the schedule checker, and copying a term forward.
  • Grow ($59/mo, up to 75 families): adds monthly tuition and scheduled billing with autopay, finance reports and the QuickBooks export, assignments, grades and report cards, and registration waves.
  • Thrive ($99/mo, up to 200 families): adds the instructional hours report.
  • More than 200 families: talk to us about the Network plan.

What happens next

A tool you turn off leaves your menu and your families' menu. Its data stays, and it comes back when you turn it on again. If you move to a lower plan, you can still read what you made, but you can't add or change it. A tool that was on shows Hidden from families until you upgrade.

Common problems

  • A switch is grayed out? The tool needs a higher plan. Click Upgrade to and the plan name.
  • Can't find Report cards in the menu? Turn on Assignments & grades. Programs that don't grade, like Mother's Day Out, can leave it off.
  • Your plan: choose, promo codes, trial and Network
  • Find your way around
  • Fees and payment timing
