Your center isn't one bucket of seats. It's separate rooms, each with its own tuition, cost, and ratios, and an empty infant seat costs far more than an empty pre-K seat. This tool finds the money room by room, the way an experienced operator actually runs the numbers.

01Your rooms, one by one

Enter each classroom or age group. The tool ranks them so you see exactly where your biggest leak is. For part-time seats, use full-time equivalents (two half-day seats = one).

Enter tuition & cost as:
Pick how you already think about your numbers. The tool converts to monthly and annual for you.

Empty seats don't cost you once. They cost you every month they stay open. This is the cumulative profit lost if nothing changes.

05The realities behind the number

Two things every seasoned owner knows the basic math ignores.

Fillable now vs. needs a hire

Not every empty seat is reachable today. Some you can fill with current staff; others need another teacher first. How many of your empty seats could you fill right now without adding staff?

The annual backfill

Enrollment isn't static. Every year a group ages out to kindergarten and others move on. Those seats empty whether you like it or not. How many children leave predictably each year?

06The return on filling them
