Bēhere Enrollment App

The Client

Bēhere is a family-centered education organization offering outdoor enrichment programs and community learning experiences for children and parents. As enrollment grew, Bēhere needed a system that reflected the trust families place in the organization—something calmer, clearer, and more reliable than forms and spreadsheets.

Project Summary

A calm, family-first enrollment platform designed to simplify how families register children for outdoor enrichment programs, while giving administrators a single source of truth for enrollment, rosters, and payments. As the founder of Bēhere, I led the product end-to-end—from defining the problem and data model to designing, building, and operating the system in production.

My Role

  • Product strategy & vision
  • System & data model design
  • UX & UI design
  • Frontend development
  • Backend & application logic
  • Admin & operations tooling
  • Payment & enrollment systems
  • Ongoing iteration & product stewardship

Problem

Enrollment was previously managed through a patchwork of tools—forms, emails, spreadsheets, and manual payment tracking. This created: High administrative overhead Fragmented family and child data Limited visibility into program capacity A stressful experience for parents making high-trust decisions The lack of a unified system made scaling programs difficult and time-consuming.

Solution

The Bēhere Enrollment App introduces a family-first data model where children persist across programs and enrollment builds over time.

Key features include:

  • Family onboarding and child profiles
  • Program selection and enrollment management
  • Real-time admin visibility into rosters and capacity
  • Integrated payments with clear status tracking

The interface uses minimal visual noise and progressive disclosure to reduce cognitive load—especially during enrollment.

Designing Calm Systems for High-Trust Decisions

While the Bēhere Enrollment App began as a practical solution to enrollment and operations, it was designed with a longer horizon in mind.

By centering families, children, programs, and payments within a unified system, the app establishes a foundational layer for what Bēhere is building toward: a more cohesive, humane infrastructure for education outside traditional institutions.

In that sense, this project represents an early building block of a broader vision—an operating system for a new education economy—where tools grow organically from real community needs rather than abstract frameworks.

Results Overview

The enrollment app significantly reduced manual administrative work while improving the experience for families. Outcomes included: Centralized enrollment and family records Faster program setup and capacity tracking Clearer communication with parents A scalable foundation for future tools Most importantly, the system reinforced trust at a critical moment in the family journey. Beyond immediate operational improvements, the enrollment app created a stable platform upon which more advanced coordination, scheduling, and learning tools can be layered over time.
