Attendance & Check-in

Kiosk check-in, live ratios, daily activities, and records.

  • Kiosk check-in

    Turn any tablet into a secure PIN check-in station for staff and families.

  • Staff check-in & out

    Staff can mark children's attendance themselves — in Classroom Mode or from a child's profile — no kiosk or PIN needed.

  • Staff-to-child ratios

    See every room's ratio in real time and get flagged before you're out of compliance.

  • Logging daily activities

    Record naps, meals, and notes so families see the day — and get an automatic summary.

  • Moving children between rooms

    Move a child to another room permanently, just for today, or on a future date — with a full history.

  • Overnight & 24-hour care

    Turn on 24-hour mode so live ratios, check-out, and the family summary all work for visits that cross midnight.
