Tuition & Billing

Tuition that collects itself, at a rate you can read on our pricing page.

Plans, autopay, hourly and daily rates, late fees and subsidy awards on one ledger.

Set up tuition plans per room and schedule, including hourly and daily-rate plans billed from attendance. Turn on autopay and let your late-fee and late-pickup policies run on their own. Subsidy agency awards are tracked against each family's balance, with the agency share and the family copay on one invoice. Card payments cost 2.95% with no per-transaction fee, bank transfers 0.6%, and there are no setup or monthly fees for payments.

01

Plans, autopay and a policy that runs itself

Tuition plans by room and schedule, sibling discounts, one-time charges for registration or supplies, and your late-payment and late-pickup fees. Families pay by card or bank transfer, or set autopay once.

✓
Recurring plans: weekly or monthly
✓
Autopay: card or bank account
✓
Late-payment and late-pickup fees: applied automatically
✓
Receipts and statements: in the family app
02

Hourly and daily rates, billed from attendance

Drop-in and part-week families do not fit a flat monthly plan. Hourly and daily-rate plans bill from the check-in and check-out times already on the record, so there is no separate timesheet to total. Late pickup is timed from the check-out and adds your late-pickup fee.

✓
Hourly plans: billed from check-in and check-out
✓
Daily-rate plans: a day attended is a day billed
✓
Late-pickup fee: applied from the check-out time
✓
Sibling discounts: on any plan
03

Subsidy families, without a second spreadsheet

Record each family's agency award and Bloomz tracks it against their balance. Each invoice shows the agency's share and the family's copay together, including families who split the bill between two households, and agency receivables show what each agency owes you.

✓
Agency awards: tracked against the balance
✓
Agency share and family copay: on the same invoice
✓
Split-bill families: each household gets its share
✓
Agency receivables: what each agency owes you

Questions we hear

Common questions

Does Bloomz run payroll?

No. Bloomz bills families and agencies. Staff hours from clock-ins are reviewed, approved and synced to QuickBooks Payroll or Gusto; your payroll provider pays staff.

Can families split tuition between two households?

Yes. Split billing sends each household its share, and a subsidy family's invoice shows the agency share and the copay together.

Can we bill by the hour or by the day?

Yes. Hourly and daily-rate plans bill from attendance.

Can we charge for late pickup?

Yes. Set a late-pickup fee and it is applied from the check-out time.

Do you do CACFP meal claims?

No. Bloomz records meals, checks menus by component and exports the counts for your sponsor. Filing stays with you and your sponsor.
