Introducing the All-New Akada Portal!
We’re excited to announce the launch of the completely rebuilt Akada Portal — now available as a mobile app, desktop app, and web browser experience.
With a cleaner, more intuitive interface, the Akada Portal makes it easier than ever for parents to:
Manage account information
View and pay bills
Register online just like before — now with a modern touch
Upload their child’s photo directly in the app
And coming soon: messaging, so parents can stay in the loop with real-time updates.
Welcome to a simpler, smarter way to stay connected!

How do I enable the new Akada Portal?
To enable the Akada Portal, turn it on from the Studio Account screen. First, if you are not already using the new settings interface, turn that on. If you already use the modern settings interface, skip to step 7.
Click on the Akada main menu (3 lines) in the top left corner of the screen.
Select Admin and then Studio Account.
Scroll down to the Modern User Interface Features section.
Click the box next labeled Updated Settings user interface.
Click the Refresh button.
The screen should look different now.
Scroll back to the Beta features section, and click the Akada Portal Box and the last box (shown below).
You've Turned on the Akada Portal. What now?
We have also updated the customer access settings for the new Akada Portal. We have combined the current Create Account and Existing Account screens into one page to simplify things. We recommend reviewing them and making sure everything is as you want it. You will find the Akada Portal settings in the Settings menu on the left side of the screen.
The last box in the Beta features section allows you to turn on the Akada portal and test it without affecting the previous parent portal version. We recommend testing the new one in browser and mobile versions and inviting a few trusted customers to try it before rolling it out to everyone. When you're satisfied and ready to have everyone use it, uncheck the last box, and your existing parent links will automatically redirect customers to the new version.
Now that you've double-checked your Portal settings, you can log in and test them yourself. The link to the browser version is in your Akada Portal Settings menu. Once you've tested the portal, you can share this link with your parents.
Where Can My Customers Download the Akada Portal Mobile App?
The Akada Portal is available on any browser, in both the Apple and Google Play store, or as a desktop app. Here are links to the various app stores and QR codes you can print and display at your desk or front door.
You can also download the desktop app by clicking the install icon in your web browser.
