Your tailored kids enrichment (dance, gymnastics, music, martial arts) workspace

These are net-new, kids enrichment (dance, gymnastics, music, martial arts)-specific capabilities — not a generic CRM bolted onto your industry.

• Household CRM with multiple children + sibling/multi-class discounts (Sentinel): A household object grouping multiple kids, each with their own class enrollments, plus sibling and multi-class discount rules applied at billing. The flat Contacts model can't represent one parent paying for two kids in three classes.
• Recurring auto-pay tuition with freeze/hold + single family invoice (Treasury): Per-class monthly tuition rolled into one family invoice on auto-pay, with freeze/pause (summer break), mid-month proration on join/drop, and the cancellation/freeze terms from the membership agreement. Generic Invoices don't model recurring per-class enrollment billing.
• Class roster + check-in attendance + capacity cap + waitlist auto-promote (Quartermaster): Each class carries a capacity cap and roster, instructors check kids in for attendance, and when a seat frees the next family on the waitlist is auto-promoted/notified. Bookings + Waitlist today don't enforce caps or auto-promote.
• Liability/injury waiver + photo-media release + authorized-pickup e-sign (Scribe): Per-child safety packet (injury waiver for gymnastics/tumbling/martial arts, photo/media release, authorized-pickup list) e-signed at enrollment and required before the first class. These are essential gating documents for higher-risk kids' activities.
• Recital/competition manager with participant signup + costume/entry-fee billing + ticketing (Quartermaster): Recital and competition Events with a participant roster, costume/entry-fee charges pushed to family invoices, and ticket sales for spectators. Recital/competition management is a named keyTab that plain Events don't cover.
• Belt / level / rank progression tracker (Sentinel): Track each student's rank/belt/level advancement (martial-arts belts, dance levels, music grades) with grading/test dates and history on the student record, driving retention and testing-fee events.
