Fast, Secure Check-In for Everyone

Keep children safe with security codes and matching labels. Speed up Sunday mornings with kiosk self-check-in. Track attendance automatically.

Self-Service Kiosk

Families Check Themselves In — Three Ways

Turn any tablet or computer into a self-service kiosk. Families look up by phone number, first name, or QR code scan, select who's attending, and name-tag plus pickup-label printing happens in seconds. No staff needed at the station.

Phone Number or Name Lookup

Type a phone number or first name — the whole family pulls up instantly, no searching required.

QR Code Self Check-In

Families scan a posted QR code with their own phone and complete check-in before they reach the kiosk — no queue, no wait.

Name Tag + Pickup Label, Both Printed

One tap prints the child's name tag — with room assignment and allergy alert — plus the parent's matching pickup label with the same security code.

Works on Any Tablet or Computer

iPad, Android tablet, laptop, or touchscreen — lock the device to kiosk mode so visitors can't navigate away.

Security Labels

Keep Children Safe with Matching Codes

Every check-in generates a unique security code printed on both the child's label and the parent's pickup tag. Children can only be released to someone with the matching code.

Unique Codes Each Visit

New security code generated for every check-in, every week.

Standard Label Printers

Works with DYMO, Brother, and other common label printers.

Allergy Alerts

Allergies and special needs print prominently on the label.

Parent Pickup Tags

Parents receive a matching tag for secure child pickup.

Child Safety

Built Around the Safety of Every Child

From the moment a child checks in to the moment they leave your building, every layer of the system is designed to keep them safe and staff informed.

Allergy Alerts on Every Label

Food allergies, medical notes, and special needs stored on the child's profile print prominently on the name tag — visible at a glance so no volunteer is ever caught off guard.

Authorized-Pickup Matching

Only adults whose security code matches the child's label can complete pickup. Unauthorized individuals — including those not on the authorized list — are flagged before a child ever leaves the room.

Emergency Lockdown

One tap in the admin dashboard freezes all check-out activity across every kiosk and room instantly — giving staff the seconds they need to secure the building without confusion.

Room Capacity & Ratios

Set per-room capacity limits and child-to-volunteer ratio thresholds. The live dashboard highlights any room approaching its limit so coordinators can redirect check-ins or call in an additional volunteer before it becomes a problem.

QR Code Check-In

Skip the Kiosk Line

Families can scan a QR code with their phone to check in before they arrive. Walk straight to the classroom and pick up pre-printed labels.

3. Pick Up Labels
