Open the child's profile (from **Families & Children**, a family card, or a room card), and in the **Enrollment** section at the top of the Details tab click the **Room** row. Pick the new room and you're done.

The move takes effect going forward. Nothing else about the child changes: their billing plan, weekly schedule, family, history, and invoices all stay exactly as they are.

The same Enrollment section holds the start date, a planned end date, the enrollment type, the weekly schedule, and the billing plan, so a move and a schedule or plan change happen in one place.

If the child is only in another room **for today** (combined rooms at opening, nap, a ratio fix), do not touch the enrollment at all: use the one-click day move instead, and ratios and rosters follow automatically. They are back in their own room tomorrow morning.
