Preschool management software for enrollment, attendance and monthly fees
Preschool management software is a browser-based system that keeps a nursery or kindergarten's enrollments, age-group classes, daily attendance, monthly fees and parent communication in one place. In Jamaster LMS each child's record holds parent and contact details, enrollment history and the status of this month's fee. From the family asking for a school tour to the child starting class in September, you run everything from a browser.
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly), and you can try it with a 10-day free demo account.
What keeps a preschool office busy
Knowing which families still owe this month
Preschool fees recur every month; some families pay two months at once and others fall behind, and matching bank statements to children eats into the first week. Once each child's fee is a monthly installment plan, paid, pending and overdue months appear per child, and partial payments reduce the remaining balance.
School tours with no follow-up
Parents usually visit several nurseries before choosing, and a slow call-back sends them elsewhere. Record each tour as a meeting, noting how it went and when to call back, so your advisor can see which families are still deciding.
Not knowing where there is room
Finding out whether the four-year-old class still has space should not mean asking every teacher. Each age group is a class with a teacher and room, and a capacity count such as 14/16 lets you answer a parent while they are still on the phone.
Features you will use to run a nursery or kindergarten
Classes by age group
Set up classes for threes, fours and fives, or half-day and full-day groups, each with a teacher, room and schedule; capacity shows in the group list.
Monthly preschool fee tracking
Split the annual fee into months, then record cash, card or partial payments and promissory notes, issue receipts and let families pay online by card through iyzico.
Daily attendance records
Mark who arrived each morning and see attendance rates per child and per class. When a child is absent three times in a row, a follow-up meeting with the family is planned automatically.
Parent messages by SMS, email and WhatsApp
Use templates to text every parent about a holiday closure or parents' evening, and reply to an individual parent on WhatsApp from the panel.
Sibling discounts and contracts
Apply a sibling discount or early-enrollment campaign at sign-up, then generate the contract and link it to the child's record.

Frequently asked questions
What is preschool management software?
Preschool management software brings enrollment, classes, attendance, parent communication and fee collection for a nursery or kindergarten into one program. Nothing needs installing, because Jamaster LMS works inside the browser on your office computers.
How do preschools keep track of monthly fees?
Give each child a monthly installment plan; each month is then marked completed, pending or overdue. To see late fees across the school, filter the overdue receivables report by branch and date or download it as CSV.
Can preschool software help with birthday messages?
Yes. When the birthday automation rule is on, an email draft is created on the child's birthday for you to review and send in your own words.
How much does preschool software cost?
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly). SMS packages are bought separately. Before deciding, try it for 10 days free of charge with your own classes.
