Online Enrollment

The whole enrollment packet, filled in and signed online.

Enrollment and e-signatures

What it does

  • State-required forms for your state, pre-filled from what you already know
  • Tuition agreement and handbook signed electronically
  • Dated, versioned copies for the family and for you
  • Nothing to print, scan or chase

6 screens in about 25 seconds. No sound needed.

Why it matters

An enrollment packet is where a new family first meets your paperwork, and where a missing signature today becomes a citation next year.

Centerly puts the whole packet online, pre-fills what it already knows, and keeps a dated, versioned copy of everything signed.

How it works

In practice

The family starts

From a link, on a phone. Each step is short, and progress is saved.

Forms fill themselves

What the family typed once appears on every form that needs it, including your state's.

Everyone signs

The parent signs with a finger; the director countersigns; both get a dated copy.

State forms that fill themselves in

Forms required by your state are pre-filled from what the family already entered. Parents check them and add only what is missing.

Signed with a finger, on the phone

The key terms are summarised in plain words above the signature. A dated, signed copy goes to the family straight away.

Every form, its status and its version

A signed, versioned copy, always on file

Each agreement is stored with its version, who signed it and when. The family gets the very same copy by email.

See where every packet stands

Packets move from started to complete on their own. The office sees who is waiting on a parent and what is ready to review.

Questions

About Online Enrollment

Are our state forms included?

The forms your state requires are built in and pre-filled from what the family has already entered.

Are electronic signatures valid?

Electronic signatures are recorded with the date, time and the version of the document signed. Check your own state's licensing guidance for any form it requires on paper.

What about the center's signature?

Forms that need a countersignature from the director are queued for it, and the file is not complete until both are there.

Can a family stop and come back?

Yes. Progress is saved and they pick up where they left off, on any device.
