After-school care that runs itself between 3 and 6.
After-school programs live on routine: the same kids, most days, with pickup times that drift. Huddle bills by the hour or the day, knows who's allowed to pick up each child, and adds late fees automatically.

What usually gets in the way
- Parents booking different days each week
- Late pickups and who's authorized to collect a child
- Billing families accurately for partial days
- Keeping kids grouped by grade or age
How Huddle fits
Hourly or daily pricing
Charge per hour with a minimum, or a flat daily rate. Sibling discounts are applied automatically.
Weekly hours + closures
Set Mon–Fri hours once, then mark school holidays and early-release days as closed or with special hours.
Approved pickups & late fees
Each child has approved pickup contacts. Check out after the grace period and a late fee is added to the account or collected on the spot.
Classes by grade
Group kids into K–2, 3–5 and so on, with a leader and room for each.
Check-in shows who's here, pickup times, approved pickups and late fees.
Parents pick their days; you see the week's hours, totals and sibling discounts.
