Beanstalk Kidz grew out of RC Management, church administration software — so programs connected to a church get a rate and a system built around that relationship, not bolted on after the fact.
No plan-gated tools and no custom quote — your rate is set by program type and licensed capacity, and every feature is included from day one.
Running more than one location? Every location after your first shares a published discount that grows with your portfolio — not a custom quote.
Running a preschool or day care alongside a congregation gets a discount on top of your capacity tier and shares infrastructure with the church's RC Management account.
Chart of accounts, budgets, and bank reconciliation built in — not just parent updates and daily reports, but the full financial picture for your program.
