Summary

Every center has a public waitlist link families use to apply online. Copy it from Wait List, Settings, or global search, then share it on your website, email signature, or social posts.

Before you start

Steps

  1. Sign in to Kiddo.
  2. Copy your waitlist link from any of these places:
    • Wait List → Wait List tab (not Open Spots) → Copy waitlist link near the top
    • Settings → Center Profile → General Information → Waitlist Submission Link (click the field or copy icon)
    • Settings → Enrollment & Waitlist → Waitlist Welcome Message → copy icon next to the link
    • Global search (header search bar, or ⌘K / Ctrl+K) → Copy Waitlist Link
  3. The button or icon shows Copied when the link is on your clipboard.
  4. Paste the link wherever families should apply — your website, email campaigns, or printed materials.
  5. Optional: open the link in a private browser window to preview what parents see before you share widely.

The link goes to your center's public form (/waitlist-form/your-center-slug). Families sign in with email, then complete the application steps.

What happens next

  • New applications appear on Wait List as families submit.
  • Families receive confirmation emails from your center (via Kiddo) when they apply.
  • You can reshare the same link anytime — it does not expire.

Common questions

Can I change the link?

The link is tied to your center's slug. Contact Kiddo support if you need a slug change — URLs should stay stable for families who saved an old link.

Should I share the link before Stripe is connected?

Yes. You can share your waitlist link before Stripe is fully connected. If you charge a waitlist fee, families can still complete payment at the end of the form — Kiddo collects the fee, and your center receives payouts only after Stripe Connect onboarding is complete.

What do parents see when they open the link?

Your welcome message, then Begin Application when they are ready — same as What your parents see above.

Can families apply without the link?

Staff can add children from Wait List, but most centers share the public link so families enter their own information.
