PlayAct Drama School Improves Admin Processes and Parent Experience with ClassForKids
Meet PlayAct Drama School
For founder Adrienne Lee, drama has always been life‑changing. A shy child turned confident performer, she credits her own speech and drama classes with shaping who she is today. Adrienne transformed her passion into a thriving business, PlayAct Drama School, a place where children can discover the same joy, confidence and creativity she found at seven years old.
As Adrienne put more energy into her business, the behind‑the‑scenes admin became unmanageable for her to handle alone. And that’s when ClassForKids stepped in.
From Scattered Notes to Smooth Systems
Before ClassForKids, PlayAct’s admin system was, in Adrienne’s words, “a bit haphazard.”
Registrations were handled manually, with booking forms sent back and forth over email and parent details scribbled in journals or on loose notes. If a booking wasn’t logged immediately, it risked being forgotten.
Managing this kind of system while also running classes was stressful, time‑consuming and unsustainable for Adrienne.
The Turning Point for PlayAct
Like many club owners, Adrienne worried she wasn’t “technical enough” to get to grips with a digital system for her business. But after booking a free demo with ClassForKids, she was able to get a clear overview of the system and understand how it would work for her and PlayAct.
With friendly onboarding and quick responses from the ClassForKids Support Team whenever she needed help, Adrienne found the system simple, reassuring and surprisingly intuitive.
I’m not technical at all… I thought, ‘how am I going to do this?’ But the support was so good. You can email and say, ‘how do I do this?’ and they’re right there.”
A Smoother Experience for Parents
Where Adrienne had expected resistance from parents, she found the opposite, with parents welcoming the new booking process.
“There were no concerns from parents, the concerns were all mine! Parents preferred it because they could book with a link and that was it. Everything was there.”
Adrienne’s old process took hours every week with chasing forms, managing bookings and checking payments all reliant on her completing them manually. This old way of working was replaced with clean, automated processes that worked instantly for both her and parents.
I used to spend a lot of hours doing registrations... and it takes all of that away. All of that's gone."
