Track attendance easily with an app on your tablet
KinderSign allows families, child care providers, and centers to sign children in and out of care with an app that’s compatible with iPad or Android tablets. Child care providers spend less time taking attendance, and agencies can count on accurate and secure attendance information.
Your families benefit from a quicker check-in and check-out experience.
KinderSign makes child care operations easier for agencies, providers, and families. Our unique solution interfaces with KinderTrack and CenterTrack, KinderSystems’ comprehensive online system for child care management.
The app also integrates with the KinderConnect host system and CARE by KinderSystems’ ProviderPortal. Using KinderSign with KinderConnect, agencies can collect attendance information from child care providers directly over the Internet—with reports and payment status information easily obtainable within the same portal.
A powerful and convenient tablet app:
Save time & reduce errors
Unlike paper check-in, which can become more time-consuming as programs grow, KinderSign saves you time, reduces the risk of error, and creates a safer and more reliable environment for the children and families you serve.
Improve engagement with families beyond attendance
Agency-based permissions not only allow your families to enter check-in and check-out times, they also allow for those with permissions to record absences, send and receive messages, enter notes, and approve attendance transactions done by others on their behalf.
Secure & convenient
Because KinderSign includes unique user authentication, you won't have to sacrifice security for convenience. Simpler and more flexible than pen-and-paper attendance tracking, KinderSign allows your providers and families greater convenience during the two busiest times of their day.
Say goodbye to paper sign sheets.
How it works
KinderSign tablet apps are generally installed on tablets where you traditionally keep your sign-in log or paper attendance sheets. Families start by tapping their own phone numbers to identify themselves. Once their phone number is identified, they use a PIN number to authenticate themselves. Optionally, the app takes a snapshot of the person for further authentication and additional security.
Easy to use
Because drop-offs and pick-ups in KinderSign are automatically recorded, the app eliminates the need for families to sign in and out with paper sheets. Your families need only enter their PIN numbers, snap a quick picture of their faces, and sign to authenticate their transaction when they check their children in or out of care.
Detailed, accurate attendance history
As soon as check-in or check-out is complete, KinderSign instantly logs the time, type, and location of the transaction in an electronic timestamp. The app also collects any notes or absence information from the family member or guardian. That information can be retrieved on-demand later, streamlining record keeping and improving accuracy.
