Once a center exists, you can change its name, contact details, license, capacity, timezone, operating hours and address from its edit form.

## Edit a center

1. Go to **Organization → Centers**.
2. Click the pencil (**Edit center**) on the center's card. You can also open the center and click **Edit**.
3. Change what you need, then click **Save Changes**. You go back to the center's page, and changes take effect right away.

## Set your operating hours

Operating hours live on the same edit form, between the timezone and the address.

1. Go to **Organization → Centers** and click the pencil on the center's card.
2. Under **Operating hours**, enter an opening and a closing time for each day you are open.
3. Tick **Closed** for days you are not open, or leave a day blank to keep it off your public page entirely.
4. Fill in Monday and click **Copy Monday to the rest of the week** if the other days are the same.
5. Click **Save Changes**.

Times are in the center's timezone. The hours show up in three places:

- **Your public enrollment page** (**Admissions & CRM → Enroll Page → Hosted Page**), as long as **Show Operating Hours** is switched on there. That switch only controls whether the section appears. The hours themselves come from the center.
- **The parent app**, under the center's details on the parent's account screen.
- **Staff scheduling and attendance**, where the day's hours prefill new shifts and set the time used when a forgotten check-out is closed automatically at the end of the day.

## When to update license info

When your childcare license renews:

1. Update **License Number** if the new license has a different number.
2. Update **License Expiry** to the new expiration date.
3. Click **Save Changes**.

The license chip on the center's card turns amber 60 days before the expiry date and red once it has passed. NestliCare does not send renewal reminders, so keep your own.

## Archive or delete a center

Archiving and deleting are owner-only. Unticking **Active** on this form archives the center, the same as the archive button on its card. See [Archive or delete a center](/owners/centers/archive-or-delete-a-center).

## Multi-center orgs

If you have several centers, the **Center picker** on the admin dashboard switches which center you're viewing. Admins assigned to one center see the picker locked to their center. Archived centers are left out of the picker.

## Troubleshooting

**"You can only manage the center you are assigned to."** You're a center admin for a *different* center. The edit pencil only shows on your own center. Ask an owner to make the change.

**"Only owners can archive or restore centers."** You unticked **Active** as a center admin. Tick it again to save your other changes, or ask an owner to archive the center.

**I changed the timezone and old times look different.** Times are stored as exact moments and always shown in the center's current timezone. Changing the timezone changes how every time is shown, past and future. If times were typed in while the timezone was wrong, those entries stay off by the difference. Set the timezone correctly as early as you can.

**Turned on Show Operating Hours on the public page but nothing appears.** The public page only lists days that have hours. Add them on the center's edit form (above) and the section appears on the next page load.

**Can't find where to upload a logo.** The center edit form has no logo field. Your logo goes on your hosted enrollment page: **Admissions & CRM → Enroll Page → Hosted Page → Branding → Upload logo**, then **Save Hosted Page**. See [Update your organization's profile](/owners/settings/update-your-organizations-profile).
