Every preschool you run, on one dashboard

EarlyTrack Groups is multi-site management for preschool owners. Get one secure, read-only overview of attendance, fees, payroll and staff across every school, so you can see which site needs attention today, without signing into each one. Every school stays fully separate. From R799/mo for the first site, plus R299/mo per additional site.

  • One dashboard across all your schools, no more juggling spreadsheets and logins
  • Site status shows which school needs attention today: green, amber or red
  • Each school keeps its own data, billing, staff and permissions, fully separate

Running several schools means several logins, several spreadsheets, and no single view

Sign into each school separately
Combine spreadsheets by hand
Numbers never line up
No early warning a site is slipping
Problems found too late

When you run more than one preschool, the day starts with a stack of logins. You sign into each school in turn, open the same reports, and paste the figures into a spreadsheet that is already out of date by the time it is built. The schools are run well; it is the view across them that does not exist.

So the simple question, "which school needs me today?", has no quick answer. A dip in attendance at one site, a fee book quietly slipping at another, a payroll run that was never finalised, you usually find out when it has already become a problem, not while there is still time to act.

And you cannot safely hand a regional manager a login without handing over everything, including data from schools that are none of their concern. Owners of growing groups lose their evenings stitching numbers together and still miss the early warnings. The oversight, not the care, is where the time and the risk pile up.

Link your schools, set who sees what, and read one dashboard across them all

EarlyTrack Groups adds a read-only oversight layer above the schools you already run. You link each school with its owner's approval, give your managers a role and a set of sites, and then read one live dashboard, site status, attendance, fees, payroll, staff and aftercare, with a per-site breakdown and a group total. Nothing is merged and nothing is changed: every school stays its own separate system.

Link your schools

Request a link to each school. Its owner or admin approves it, so nothing is shared until the school agrees. One school, one active group.

Scope your team

Invite managers and give each a group role and a set of sites. A regional manager sees only their region; a group role never opens a school on its own.

See everything at a glance

Read one dashboard across every site, with a data-coverage line so a switched-off module is never read as zero. Click a school to open it and act.

Everything an owner needs to oversee a group of preschools

EarlyTrack Groups bundles one read-only dashboard, per-site roll-ups, finance and payroll privacy, scoped roles, exports and group billing into one capability from R799/mo. Every screen below is the real EarlyTrack group view.

Group Dashboard PRO

See every school at a glance

One dashboard answers "which site needs me today?". Summary cards show active sites, learners, attendance, assessments, fees, payroll, staff and aftercare across the group, with a per-site breakdown and a group total. No more juggling logins and spreadsheets.

Site Status PRO

Know which site needs attention today

The site-status table colours each school green, amber or red against thresholds you set, for attendance, fees, assessments, late pickups and staff. A site without enough data shows "not enough data", never a false green, so you catch a slipping school while there is still time.

Finance & Payroll PRO

Group totals, with finance and payroll kept safe

Finance roll-ups are read-only summaries, billed, received, outstanding and overdue per site with a group total, never a merged ledger and never a place money can move. Payroll shows status and approved totals only: no employee names, salaries, bank details, tax numbers or payslips at group level, ever.

Users, Roles & Regions PRO

Give each manager exactly the right access

Invite people by email, give each a group role, and choose which sites they can see. Group roles, owner, admin, operations, finance viewer, payroll viewer, regional manager and read-only, work at group level only and never open a school. Group sites into regions so a regional manager sees just their area.

Reports & Exports PRO

One Snapshot across every school

Download a consolidated Group Snapshot PDF, or per-area reports as PDF, Excel or CSV, scoped to the sites you are assigned to and the data your role allows. Every report carries a data-coverage line and every export is recorded in an immutable group audit log.

Group Billing PRO

One subscription for the whole group

Pay once at group level: R799 per month includes one EarlyTrack Complete site plus the group dashboard, and each additional site is R299 per month, up to three sites. Paying upgrades every linked school to EarlyTrack Complete, with all the finance, payroll and aftercare tools. Each school still keeps its own data and billing.

From one school to a whole group, in six steps

01
Set up your group
Tick Multi-Site Management at signup, or use "Set up Multi-Site" on the Billing page of a school you already run. This creates your group and makes you the owner.
02
Link your schools
Request a link to each school. An owner or admin of that school approves it, so nothing is shared until the school agrees. One school belongs to one active group.
03
Add users & scope sites
Invite your managers, give each a group role, and choose the sites they can see. A regional manager sees only their region; a group role never opens a school.
04
Read one dashboard
The group dashboard shows site status, attendance, assessments, fees, payroll, staff and aftercare per school, with a group total and a data-coverage line.
05
Drill into a school
Click "Open site" to enter a school you already manage, using your own school login and permissions, to act on anything the group view surfaces.
06
Subscribe at group level
Pay one group subscription, R799/mo for the first site plus R299/mo per extra site, which upgrades every linked school to EarlyTrack Complete.

Who EarlyTrack Groups is designed for

Multi-school owners

If you own two or three preschools, EarlyTrack Groups gives you one place to see how all of them are doing each day, instead of logging into each school and stitching reports together by hand.

Preschool franchises

Franchisors and groups get a consistent, read-only view across every branch, with each school still running independently on its own data, branding, billing and team.

Regional & area managers

Give a regional manager a login that shows only the schools in their region, with the operational summaries they need and none of the data from sites that are not theirs.

Boards & finance oversight

A finance viewer role surfaces read-only fees and finance summaries per site with a group total, so boards and bookkeepers can watch the money without touching any school's ledger.

Schools planning a second site

Opening your next branch? Start the group with one school and add the others as they come online, up to three sites, each upgraded to EarlyTrack Complete under one subscription.

What owners should know about group oversight

Consent on every link, POPIA-aligned

A school only joins your group after its own owner or admin approves the link inside EarlyTrack. Nothing is shared before that, and a school can be removed at any time. That approval is your record of authorisation.

Read-only by design

Group screens show summaries only. You cannot create, edit, approve or pay anything from the group, so oversight can never accidentally change a school's records. To act, you open the school with your own permissions.

Each school stays fully separate

Every school remains its own isolated tenant, with its own learners, parents, staff, billing, payroll, branding and permissions. The group is a layer above the schools; it never merges one school's data into another.

An immutable group audit log

Site links, user roles and scope, region and threshold changes, billing and exports are all recorded in a group audit log that cannot be edited from the screen, separate from each school's own history.

Bilingual, in English and Afrikaans

Like the rest of EarlyTrack, the group dashboard, help articles and privacy notices are fully bilingual, English and Afrikaans, so your managers work in the language they prefer.

Questions about managing multiple preschools

Frequently asked questions
Yes. EarlyTrack Groups gives owners and managers one read-only dashboard across all their schools. You see site status, attendance, fees, payroll and staff at a glance, without signing into each school separately.
R799 per month includes one EarlyTrack Complete site plus the Multi-Site group dashboard. Each additional site is R299 per month, up to three sites. Paying upgrades every linked school to EarlyTrack Complete. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Yes. Every school remains a fully separate tenant with its own learners, parents, staff, billing, payroll, branding, permissions and audit history. The group is a read-only oversight layer above the schools; it never merges or changes a school's data.
For each school you are authorised to see, the group shows summary figures only: site status, learner counts, attendance rates, assessment progress, fee totals, payroll status, staff availability and aftercare activity, plus a per-site breakdown and a group total.
An owner or administrator of that school approves a link request inside EarlyTrack. Nothing is shared before that approval, and a school can be removed from the group at any time, which stops future group access from the removal date.
Finance roll-ups are read-only summaries, never a merged ledger, and you cannot move money from a group screen. Payroll shows status and approved totals only, never employee names, salaries, bank details, tax numbers or payslips.
Yes. Group access is controlled by group roles and per-user site scope. A regional manager sees only the sites in their region, and finance or payroll summaries require specific viewer roles. A group role never grants access inside a school.
Yes. A one-click "Open site" button takes you into a school using your own school login. If you have no membership there, you only ever see the group summary, so drill-through always respects each school's own permissions.
A group can have up to three active sites on the standard plan: the R799 base site plus up to two additional sites at R299 each. Get in touch if you run more than three schools and need a larger group.
Yes. You can download a consolidated Group Snapshot PDF, or per-area reports as PDF, Excel or CSV, scoped to the sites you are assigned to and the data your role allows. Every export is recorded in the group audit log.
Tick Multi-Site Management when you sign up, or set it up from the Billing page of an existing school. That creates your group, makes you the owner, and takes you to the group Billing tab to subscribe. Start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Yes. Like the rest of EarlyTrack, the group dashboard, help and notices are fully bilingual, English and Afrikaans.
