Create a family experience that’s as thoughtful as your program
Parents don’t separate your technology from your organization – they experience it as one. Every photo, message, invoice, calendar, and notification is another opportunity to reinforce your brand. A polished digital experience signals that your organization is modern, intentional, and family-first – one that feels elevated from the very first interaction.
Multi-site operators
Launch your own standalone app
Built for franchise systems and multi-site organizations ready to invest in their own App Store presence and a minimum of (5) locations. Instead of the shared Playground app, get your own dedicated app which includes:
Your app name
Your logo
Your app icon
Your App Store listing
Your branding
Your complete family experience
Multi-site operators
Keep the excitement alive after enrollment
Enrollment is one of the biggest decisions a family will make—and one of the most exciting. That excitement shouldn’t disappear the moment they sign the paperwork. Instead of a generic third-party app, welcome families into your app and your brand, so every interaction reinforces that they made the right choice.
