You can customize the care schedule options, tuition rates, and policies to match your specific program, then embed the form on your website or send it as a direct link to prospective families.

Everything happens automatically from one form submission.
With Paperform's calculation engine, you can also show families their exact tuition amounts based on the care schedule they select, calculate prorated fees for mid-month starts, and collect enrollment deposits using integrated payment processing through Stripe, PayPal, or Square.
