What to bring for class

Pay for a class with a punch card
A class can take punches from a class pack. You set how many punches that class uses.

Party request before they pay
Parents can ask for a birthday party time before anyone takes a card. You can hold that time and turn the request into a booking. Party requests and class messages sit in one inbox.
Approve a student before they pay
A class can wait for your review before the family pays. That fits tryouts, teams, and any class you do not want to sell on the spot.
See what a family owes
Parents can see the balance still due for their household, including in emails around sign-up.

Register more than one child at once
One checkout can cover more than one child and more than one class, online or at the front desk.
February 2026
This is the month we opened ProgramChamp™ to customers. Class registration included capacity limits and waitlists from the start.
Class registration and waitlist
Parents sign up online. When a class is full, the next family on the waitlist can be offered the spot. That is the core of class registration for kids activities on this site.
Monthly tuition and payment plans
Bill an ongoing class every month, or split it into a payment plan. Monthly tuition follows the class price on a schedule. Staff can clear what is left when a family should not be charged the rest.
Sales tax, Zelle, Venmo, and QuickBooks
Parents pay you through Stripe. Sales tax can follow the location. Staff can record Zelle or Venmo when you take those outside the card form. You can export orders to QuickBooks Online.
Online waivers
Send a waiver for a class or a party, including one signature per child when you require it. A party can be paid online or marked pay later.
