Playgroup Preschool Streamlines Admission Process with KidAdmit
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) April 24, 2014 -- The Playgroup preschool is pleased to announce a partnership with software company KidAdmit to streamline the preschool admission process. Playgroup was co-founded by Ann Getty and Lonna Corder, an experienced preschool director. For the past seventeen years, the group has been operating inside the Getty’s private residence in Pacific Heights. However, they have recently announced the groundbreaking on their new location in The Presidio. Alongside the move, Playgroup is working to change the way technology is used in the application process for childhood education. To accomplish this, they looked to KidAdmit.
KidAdmit is a web-based admission management platform that revolutionizes the way both parents and schools approach the application process. Preschools can now easily accept online applications, track parent communications, and optimize admissions. Parents can search and compare schools, juggle application deadlines, and easily apply to their top choices.
“We are trying to tie in old San Francisco with new San Francisco. The history of The Presidio is such a good juxtaposition with the emerging technologies that our city has to offer. We are excited to be using KidAdmit to streamline our entire application platform,” says Corder. “I can now focus on the curriculum, the children, and the teachers, while KidAdmit provides the tools to simplify the admission process.”
The Presidio Trust, which carefully manages the historic area just south of the Golden Gate Bridge, selected the Playgroup’s proposal from multiple submissions. The renovations will create an oasis in the middle of the city – all while staying true to the original architecture of the buildings and preserving the history of the area. The Getty family’s unique legacy also ties into San Francisco’s innovation side. Corder continues, “Bay Area residents are leaders in technology. When I heard about KidAdmit, I was sold on the idea of implementing technology to link parents and preschools – especially using a platform created by a San Francisco parent! I encourage all preschools join the KidAdmit community.”
“We are excited to have Playgroup join our growing family of schools,” says Tejal Shah, CEO of KidAdmit. “We love working with these schools to transform their application process. Our goal is to take the headache factor out of admissions, so our directors can focus on the human factor.”
KidAdmit is a cloud-managed platform that simplifies the preschool admission process for both schools and parents. KidAdmit grew out of the CEO’s personal experience trying to get her sons into preschool. There were so many paper forms to track and admissions schedules to manage that she knew there had to be a better way.
