“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”

Every program, one place to reach families

Between summer camp, after school, and the fall session starting in two weeks, families lose track of what's happening where. ClassDojo gives your staff one place to send a reminder, share a photo from the day, or get an announcement out to every family at a site.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our department?
Yes — ClassDojo is free for your department, your staff, and your families. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?
Departments use ClassDojo across every program they run, from tot classes and preschool through summer camp, youth leagues, and teen programs. Staff choose what each group sees, so a day-camp group and a rec league team don't look the same.

How do our staff get set up?
Each staff member creates an account and sets up their group in a few minutes — no IT project, no training day.

How do families join?
Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our program's data protected?
Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers — see our privacy and security page for the full detail.

Can supervisors see what staff share with families?
Yes. Authorized admins can review communication records, helping directors stay informed and support their teams.

We run programs at a lot of facilities. How does that work?
Each site runs its own groups, while supervisors manage them all from one account. You can send an announcement to every family in the department or to a single site, and see a real-time feed of updates from across your facilities. Most departments start with one program and add the rest once staff have seen how it works.
