Set up your location

Setup is where you tell Ashby about your program and this location. It is not a one-time quiz. Open a card, save, and come back whenever something changes.

1. After you sign in, open Setup from the left menu.
2. Fill You — your first name. That is how Ashby greets you.
3. Fill Business info — in-home or licensed center, the legal business name, and an optional logo.
4. Fill Address — where children come. If mail goes somewhere else, say so on that card.
5. Hours, rooms, tuition, and Bank are optional. Skip them if you are not ready. In-home programs start with a Home room.
6. Need another location later? Use Add location on Setup. You come back to Setup after you add it. Staff and children live on Team and Children, not on these cards.

Setup is a hub of cards in three parts: your school, this location, and your people. The search bar at the top also finds fields by name.

• You — your first name.
• Business info — licensed center or in-home, legal business name, optional name on the door, and an optional logo for the left menu.
• Address — where children come, an optional nickname, and whether legal mail uses the same street.
• Hours — the week this location is open, plus holidays and other closed days (full-day closures). US holidays or UK holidays fills the public calendar; Other holidays covers Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or Lunar New Year days. Add closed day is one extra date of your own. Changes on any Setup card stay in the form until Save. Back to setup and changing the location warn if you have not saved. With more than one location, use Select a location at the top of the page. A card says this week and closed days are only for the location you picked. Copy schedule asks first, then fills them from another location. Use everywhere writes them to every location. Save stores this location only.
• Rooms — names of the spaces at this location. In-home programs start with a Home room. Add room at the bottom. Edit or Remove from the row menu. Changes stay in the form until Save. Assign people on Team and Children.
• Tuition — one weekly rate for now. Full tuition plans come later. With more than one location, a card says this rate is only for the location you picked. Copy tuition asks first, then fills it from another location. Use everywhere writes it to every location. Save stores this location only.
• Bank — optional, on Your school. One account for the whole program. Confirm the legal name you already have, add a tax number, the owner or director who can sign, and the bank routing and account numbers. If someone owns 25% or more, they complete Bank. If no one does, the person who can sign still completes it. Agree to Stripe’s terms (they open in a new window). You stay in Ashby. Educators do not see this card. United States only for now.
• Add location — another licensed location under the same business. After you add it, you return to Setup. Select a location at the top of the page lists each location.

Hours, rooms, and tuition can be skipped. Skipped still counts as handled so Home can show you as set up. Bank is optional and does not block setup. There is no separate ratios card. Parent consents are collected when you invite a family, not as a Setup card.
