Robust mobile attendance tracking

Make check-in and check-out as easy as possible with KinderSmart, our mobile app for iPhone and Android smartphones. With KinderSmart, your families can easily and securely check their children in and out of care in seconds using their own smartphones.

Rely on accurate, time-encrypted information needed for compliance, staffing, and planning.

KinderSmart makes child care operations easier for agencies, providers, and families. Our unique solution interfaces with CenterTrack, KinderSystems’ comprehensive online system for child care management.

The app also integrates with the KinderConnect host system and CARE by KinderSystems’ ProviderPortal. Using KinderSmart 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 & convenient smartphone app:

Faster & more accurate

Unlike traditional paper check-in, which requires families to wait in line and personally sign paperwork that can get misplaced, KinderSmart allows them to use their own smartphones to complete this daily task. By automating these processes, your agency can improve engagement with the families you serve.

Unique user authentication

Because KinderSmart includes unique user authentication, you won't have to sacrifice security for convenience. Simpler and more flexible than pen-and-paper attendance tracking, KinderSmart allows families to check their children in and out of care during the busiest times of the day.

Agency-based permissions

KinderSmart also allows you to set agency-based permissions to manage who can check children in and out of care, adding an additional layer of security.

Track attendance effortlessly with mobile devices.

How it works

Parents download KinderSmart on their iPhone or Android devices and register within the system. Once their provider has approved registration, parents can use their phones to check their children in and out of care. To complete check-in or check-out, families scan a QR code, which pulls up the list of children assigned to them, and then mark each child as checked-in, checked-out, or absent. The child’s guardian then electronically signs and submits the record, to be confirmed by and stored in the host system.

Accurate, detailed attendance history

When families complete a check-in or check-out transaction, your agency will get a record of that transaction. KinderSmart instantly logs the time, type, and location in an electronic timestamp. The app also captures the parent or guardian’s name and signature, along with any optional notes about the transaction. With KinderSmart, your agency gets a detailed log of activity that you can confidently rely on for attendance-tracking, licensing, and child care operational purposes.
