Availability: Availability varies by program and account. Confirm which controls are enabled with Wonderschool.
If you manage more than one program, begin each task by checking which school's records are open. Wonderschool's school switcher lets eligible users choose another authorized school from the shared navigation.
After you select another school, a progress indicator appears while Wonderschool changes the active school. When the switch succeeds, the page reloads with that school's records. If the switch cannot finish on the current page, Wonderschool may open a different page for the selected school.
The practical goal is continuity, not a combined database view. Changing the active school does not merge records from different programs or grant access to a school the director is not authorized to manage.
Before editing a child record or reviewing billing, confirm that the active school is the one you intended. Wait for the switch to finish rather than making repeated selections. Save or finish current work before switching; this improvement should not be treated as a guarantee that every unsaved form will be preserved.
Build a short check into the routine: select the school, wait for the change to finish, and confirm the active school before opening a child record or billing page. This matters most when the same staff member works across locations with similar daily tasks.
A school switch is not a transfer of children, staff, invoices, or bank details between organizations. Those are separate operations with their own permissions and processes. Treat the selector as a way to move your working context, not a shortcut for changing who owns a record.
No. It changes the active school context. Review the selected school's records separately.
Not necessarily. If the direct switch cannot complete, you may land on a different page for that school.
