Parent class requests help you connect with families actively looking for classes like yours. Instead of waiting for enrollments, this feature automatically brings interested families to you. By responding, you can showcase your expertise, highlight your classes, and build relationships with potential families.
How Parents Submit Requests
Parents use this feature to describe their ideal class, and we share their requests with a small set of highly relevant teachers. A request will stay on your dashboard until the parent receives three teacher replies or it is more than seven days old.
Since parents are actively searching for a class that meets their needs, responding quickly increases your chances of connecting with them. Learn more below about how to respond effectively and make the most of these opportunities.
