Why Montessori Schools Need Specialized Accounting Software
Montessori schools have billing needs that general accounting software wasn't built for:
Mixed-age classrooms where children move between programs across a three-year cycle
A mix of half-day, full-day and extended-day enrollment, often changing mid-year
Materials, registration and re-enrollment deposits on top of tuition
Sibling discounts and tuition assistance that shift every year
Tuition income that has to be tracked against classroom capacity and staffing
illumine connects billing to enrollment and attendance, so when a child's program changes, their invoice changes with it.
