A platform for teachers of children’s activity classes

Kala64 makes a teacher’s life easy, effective and productive.

Kala64 (from the 64 classical arts, chatushashti kalā) takes the admin off your plate: attendance, class schedule and fees in one place. When you want more students, our team can help you find new families and win back old ones.

  • Easy
    Tap in class. No spreadsheets, no app for parents.
  • Effective
    Fees and classes follow your rules, the same way every time.
  • Productive
    Hours back each month, and help to fill your batches.

No limit on students during early access. No app for parents to install. Messages go from your own WhatsApp.

Attendance

Mark the class standing up, in seconds

Open today’s class, tap one letter per child, and you’re done. Each tap saves instantly, so nothing is lost if you close the page.

  • Tap Present, Absent, Late or Excused for each child, or use “all present” and fix the exceptions.
  • See each child’s last 3 months in colour, so a pattern of missed classes stands out early.
  • Your Dashboard lists who missed their last class, so you know whom to check in on.
  • Parents can see their own child’s attendance from their link. Nobody else’s.

Scheduling

A timetable that plans itself

Set up each batch once, with its days, time, duration, capacity and online link. Kala64 lays out the next 12 weeks of classes, and keeps a clear record when things change.

  • A batch can meet on any days of the week, for example Monday to Friday.
  • Reschedule or cancel a single class. The calendar keeps the “was Wed 6:00” note, so there’s no confusion.
  • A holiday or closure cancels every class in a date range at once, and fees adjust by your rules.
  • Add extra and make-up classes. Change a batch’s timing from a chosen date onward.
  • View the next 2 weeks, a week or a month.

Payments

Fees that add up the same way every time

Kala64 works out each invoice from your own fee rules and shows it line by line, so parents can see exactly what they’re paying for. Money goes straight to your UPI account. Kala64 charges ₹0 on it.

  • Bill in arrears or in advance, with pro-rata credit for classes you cancel.
  • No fee for leave months or the month a student leaves, if that’s your rule. Fee changes keep their history.
  • Send a WhatsApp reminder from your own phone with a UPI link to your account.
  • Record UPI, cash, bank and part payments. Parents tap “I’ve paid” and you confirm.
  • A 6-month overview shows what’s paid, what’s due, and your collection rate.

Progress

Show parents how far their child has come

Every activity has a ladder of steps, such as varisai to krithis in Carnatic, or adavus to margam in Bharatanatyam. Tap the next step when a child gets there, add a note and a recording, and send it.

  • A built-in ladder for each activity: Music, Dance, Art, Storytelling and more. You can edit them.
  • Move one child, or a whole batch, to the next step with a tap.
  • Attach recordings, photos and clips, and your note for the month.
  • Send a private, shareable progress card on WhatsApp. Families love to forward it.
