General
Frequently Asked
Questions
Is this a discount platform?
No. Providers receive their standard pricing minus commission on bookings, with original Partners receiving a special offer. Let us turn your unfilled classes into revenue.
How is this different from Google or Yelp?
Passive directories only show that you exist. Sparqkids guarantees a paid booking with intent.
What stops Sparqkids from taking over my best slots?
You have complete control over your inventory. You only designate the specific times you want to fill.
What if a family does not show up?
The parent's credit is consumed at booking. That slot is accounted for unless the parent cancels at least 48 hours in advance, which releases the spot back to your studio's available inventory. Parents will be charged a no show fee in addition to their credit consumed for the class.
What if a family is late?
Out of respect to our studios and the other participants, we will enforce a late fee policy to encourage our users to be on time.
Will Sparqkids only benefit large chains?
Sparqkids is not just for large brands/franchises. We can help small independent studios reach new parents, acting as a discovery tool by lowering the barrier to entry and placing your business in front of an audience who may not have discovered you otherwise. Our users value flexibility and variety, and are actively seeking to engage their children in something new. We also provide revenue assurance, keeping your classes full during low demand periods and providing true incremental revenue.
