Who is Bulb for Educators for?
Bulb for Educators is an operating system for bookings, payments, family communications and staff timetabling. Built for providers running children’s classes, camps, parties and lessons in Hong Kong, it has three connected interfaces: the family portal, staff portal and teacher webapp.
What would it change for us in our daily work?
Families manage their bookings, your team works from the timetable, and teachers see the children coming to class. Changes flow through the system, reducing the need to update spreadsheets and repeat the same information in messages.
Can we keep our own booking and make-up policies?
Yes. Your cancellation windows, make-up arrangements and venue rules guide the journeys families follow. Your team stays involved where an exception or decision is needed.
What do families and teachers see?
Families see their bookings, child details and the class notes and photos shared with them. Teachers see their classes, attendance lists, relevant safety information and authorised pick-ups. You and your chosen team members have the full view.
How do payments work?
Connect to your payment provider from the selection offered during setup. Families can pay by card, Apple Pay or FPS, depending on the payment methods you enable, with payments settled to your account. We will explain the payment setup and any processing fees before you begin.
Can we use it across several venues?
Yes. Your team can see the timetable across venues, with each member seeing the parts relevant to their work. Booking and make-up arrangements can reflect the venue a family chooses. If a location operates under a different name, or runs different programmes or policies, it may need to be set up as a separate venue. We will discuss this with you.
Do we need to organise all our spreadsheets before starting?
Start by showing us how you work today. We will review your spreadsheets, policies and busiest journeys with you, then agree what to bring across and how to get your team started.
We are already using a system. Is it easy to change over?
Yes. We will plan the changeover with you. We will help you onboard, migrate your data and check your existing records before you switch, so the information you need comes with you.
How do we try it, and what does it cost?
Start with a fifteen-minute call — you can reach out to us here. We will agree the scope and pricing with you, then give you two weeks to try it out. Bulb for Educators is currently in beta. We will confirm the features and setup available for your requirements before you begin.
