How to write a kids' class listing parents actually book

In short
A kids' class listing gets booked when a parent can answer four questions at a glance: is it right for my child's age, what will they actually do, when does it run, and what should we bring. Say those plainly, show the real room in your photos, and publish the schedule weeks ahead.
Key takeaways
- Lead with the age range and what a session looks like.
- Photos of your real room and kit beat stock images.
- A clear schedule, published weeks ahead, does half the selling.
Parents read a listing in seconds
A parent scrolling classes is asking four quick questions:
- Is this right for my child's age and level?
- What will they actually do in a session?
- When does it run, and does that fit our week?
- What do we need to bring or know before we arrive?
A listing that answers all four in the first few lines gets booked. One that makes a parent message you to find out often gets skipped.
The title: say what it is and who it is for
Put the activity and the age in the title: "Tumbling basics for ages 4–6" tells a parent more than "Little Stars Gym". Keep your brand name for the profile, not the class title.
The description: one session, step by step
Describe a real session in plain words:
- How it starts: "We warm up with a game on the mat."
- The main part: "Kids learn one new skill each week, like a forward roll or a cartwheel."
- How it ends: "We finish with a free-play circuit so everyone moves."
Then add the practical details parents look for: what to wear, what to bring, where to park and which door to use, and whether a grown-up stays in the room. If your space is good for children who need extra support, say exactly how — "a quiet corner" or "small groups of six" is more useful than "all welcome".
Don't repeat your price in the text. On ORYN Quest, families see the price in credits on the listing itself, so a dollar figure in the description only confuses them.
Photos: your room, your kit, today
Parents want to picture their child there. Use bright photos of your actual space, the equipment kids will use, and the room set up before class. Skip stock images and dark, empty shots.
The schedule: publish weeks ahead
Families plan around school terms and siblings' activities, so open your time slots four to six weeks ahead. If a class fills up, a waitlist lets the next family take a seat that opens.
Putting it into an ORYN Quest listing
On ORYN Quest a listing goes live once it has a title, a category, your dollar price per seat, the class length, the location, at least one photo and your waiver answer. You can add up to five photos, one short video, an age range, a skill level, the number of seats, accessibility details and access information — every one of those helps a parent decide. The vendor portal's AI assistant can draft a listing for you, and nothing changes until you tap Confirm, so read it through and make it sound like you.

Questions vendors ask
- How long should a class description be?
Long enough to answer the four questions above — usually a short paragraph on the session plus a few lines of practical details. Parents skim, so short sentences and lists help.
- Should I list the skills my child will learn?
Yes, in plain words. "Learns to float on their back" means more to a parent than "aquatic confidence".
- What if my class suits a wide age range?
Split it if you can. A class for "ages 3–12" makes every parent wonder if their child will fit in; two classes with narrower ages are easier to say yes to.
