Brightwheel provides a secure and user-friendly check-in system for staff and guardians. Utilize the Kiosk or QR code scanning features for student attendance, or let staff check students in through the web and app using Attendance Mode.

Parents enjoy a secure digital sign-in, capturing drop-off and pick-up times, and enhanced security features like check-in codes and digital signatures. Customize additional security and health checks based on provider preferences.

Attendance records help administrators maintain ratios, manage billing hours, and can even be exported for licensing requirements.

Administrators and staff can set up a check-in Kiosk on the mobile app for student contacts to securely check their child in and out during the day. A check-in code is required to complete a check-in, but there are additional requirements that can be enforced to meet the needs of the center:

Programs can opt for a digital QR code on a kiosk or a printed QR code for student check-ins. Contacts can scan it using the brightwheel app, enter their 4-digit check-in code, and fulfill additional requirements like Digital Signatures and Health Screens.

Brightwheel's Attendance Mode feature allows staff to internally track the whereabouts of each student throughout the day. Staff can check students in and out, move them to different rooms that the student is assigned to, or mark them absent.

Programs can control whether contacts are notified when logging student attendance in the check-in settings.

To initiate a check-in/out from a kiosk, contacts will be required to enter their check-in code. Users receive a unique check-in code upon creating their account, which can be customized and should be kept confidential. In certain states, these codes are accepted as a digital signature equivalent.

It’s important to note that check-in codes are not required when scanning a QR code to initiate a check-in/out.

Parent, Family, and Approved-pickup contacts can check students in and out of their assigned rooms. If a room is missing, please ensure the child is assigned correctly.

For detailed instructions on checking a child in and out, direct contacts to our Check in Students as Guardian resource.
