Kindergarten enrolment waitlists & family updates
Kindergartens: waitlists families understand. Enrolments and updates online.
Waitlists on paper, enrolment packs handed out and families emailed one by one. We build enrolment and update systems for kindergartens.
Looking for kindergarten enrolment software?
Kindergartens manage waitlists, enrolments and families with small teams. We build simple systems that cut the admin.
Wollopit builds enrolment systems, parent and student portals, booking tools and websites for kindergartens around how you actually teach and run things. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can spend more time teaching and less time on admin.

Websites for kindergartens

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your kindergarten: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things kindergartens ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Is it easy for volunteer committees to run?
Yes. It's designed to be handed over each year without training.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your kindergarten. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can families pay and enrol online?
Yes. Enrolments, payments, payment plans, sibling discounts and reminders can all run online without anyone chasing them.
How do you handle children's information?
Carefully. Access is restricted to the people who need it, connections are encrypted and we only collect what's actually needed, following the Australian Privacy Principles.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most kindergartens we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
