<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>When a center sends you an <strong>offer</strong>, you have a limited time to accept or decline before it expires. This guide explains how to respond in Kiddo.</p>
<h2>Before you start</h2>
<ul><li>Sign in to Kiddo with the email address the center has on file for your family.</li><li>You need an active offer — check <strong>Home</strong> or your email for a notification from the center.</li></ul>
<h2>Steps</h2>
<ol><li>Sign in at <a href="https://app.joinkiddo.com">app.joinkiddo.com</a> (Parents tab → enter your email → follow the sign-in link in your email).</li><li>Open <strong>Home</strong>.</li><li>Find the offer card for your child — it shows the center name and deadline.</li><li>Review the classroom, schedule, and start date shown on the offer.</li><li>To accept, select <strong>Accept Offer</strong>, then confirm in the dialog. Accepting secures the spot and starts enrollment steps your center requires.</li><li>To decline, select <strong>Reject Offer</strong>, then confirm. Declining releases the spot; your child stays on the waitlist unless the center tells you otherwise.</li></ol>
<p>You can also open the offer from the link in your email — sign in when prompted, then follow the same steps on <strong>Home</strong>.</p>
<h2>What happens next</h2>
<p><strong>If you accept:</strong> Your application status updates to show the offer is accepted. The center may ask for enrollment documents or fees next — watch <strong>Home</strong> and your email.</p>
<p><strong>If you decline:</strong> The spot goes to another family. You remain on the waitlist at that center unless you withdraw.</p>
<p><strong>If the deadline passes:</strong> The offer expires. Contact the center if you still want a spot — they may send a new offer if one is available.</p>
<h2>Common questions</h2>
<h3>I missed the deadline. Can I still accept?</h3>
<p>The offer may already be expired in Kiddo. Email the center directly — they decide whether a new offer is available.</p>
<h3>Can two guardians respond?</h3>
<p>Any guardian on the family account can accept or decline while the offer is active. Only one response counts — the first completed action applies.</p>
<h3>What if I accept by mistake?</h3>
<p>Contact the center right away. They can help from their side; do not assume the spot is still open if you need to reverse your answer.</p>
