You can share your openings from your Kinside profile page so families searching for care know you have availability. Here's how:
Add an open spot
- Navigate to the Programs section of your Kinside account.
- There are two places you can add a spot. Click + Add a spot from either the top of the page or within a program.
- This will open the Add spot modal.
- In the modal, select the Program and Schedule for this spot. You can also (optionally) add the Classroom this spot is in. Additional required fields are Start date and Tuition (with frequency). If the spot has an end date, for example because it is a summer program, you can add it, though this field is not required.
- If you are not using offer automation, keep Publish spot to profile selected. You also have the option to enter Public notes. These notes will be published with the spot on your profile, so make sure what you write is for public consumption. When you're ready, click Save to create your spot.
- If you do want to use spot automation, which as a reminder, lets Kinside automatically do the work of offering your spot to relevant families on your waitlist in the order in which they signed up, select Use offer automation on this spot.
- If you have flexible age ranges related to this spot OR if you'd like to only extend this spot to families with subsidies, check the box next to Check this box to choose flexible age ranges and specify subsidy preferences. From there, you can either set the age range for the spot and/or select which subsidies this spot should be limited to.
In this case, because the spot will be offered to your waitlist, it will not be published on your profile, unless there are no relevant candidates. If you enter Public notes, they will be visible to families receiving offers. - Don't forget to Save. Once finished, you'll see your spot listed on your Programs page. If you also chose to publish it to your profile, you'll see it on your public profile as well, which you can access by clicking Preview profile at the top of any page on Kinside.
If you chose automation, we'll scan your waitlist and let you know if any families exactly match the requirements for your opening. If there are, we'll share who is eligible and then ask to send a spot offer to the family on your behalf. We'll also look for close matches just in case you have some flexibility on your opening.
Editing an open spot is really similar to adding a spot
- Click on Programs, just like you would to add a spot.
- Then click into the over flow menu ••• of the spot you'd like to edit.
- In the overflow menu, select Edit spot. Note that you can also duplicate a spot from this menu.
- This will open up the Edit spot modal, where you can make your changes.
- Once completed, click Save.
That's it. You're all set!
