Attendance and check-in

Know who's here, room by room.

Families check in on a tablet at the door, or scan a QR code with their own phone. Staff see every room, the ratio and each child's allergies at a glance.

Tablet kiosk or door QR code

A tablet at the door, or a printed QR code families scan with their own phone. Each parent uses their own PIN.

Live ratios by room

Child-to-staff ratios for every room, as children and staff arrive and leave, so you always know where you stand.

Pick-up lists, every time

Who may collect each child, and a clear warning for anyone who isn't allowed, shown at check-out.

Staff told straight away

Staff get a notice when a parent checks a child in or out, and families can get a receipt by email or text.

Absences reported ahead

Parents report an absence from their portal, so the room knows before the day starts.

Records for licensing

Daily attendance kept for every child and room, ready when your licensing officer asks.

How it works

Four steps, every day

  1. Put a tablet at the door, or print your QR code.
  2. Parents check in with their own PIN.
  3. The room, the ratio and the office update at once.
  4. Attendance is kept for your records and billing.
Included on every plan

Part of one platform

Attendance and check-in comes with everything else your centre runs on, from $49 a month in Canadian dollars. No add-ons, no per-child fees.

Questions

About attendance and check-in

Do parents need an app?

No. The kiosk runs in a tablet's browser, and the door QR code opens in the parent's own phone browser. Nothing to install.

What if a tablet is lost?

Make a new kiosk link from your settings and the old one stops working straight away.

Can staff check children in?

Yes. Staff can check children in and out from the attendance page too, for example when a parent forgets.
