The sign-in kiosk is any iOS or Android phone or tablet, with a front-facing camera and the Daily Connect application installed, that is placed at your facility’s entrance, for parents to sign-in and sign-out.
The sign-in page can also be opened on any staff or classroom device. This feature enables you to keep track of when a child is brought to and picked up from your facility. This information is recorded in attendance reports.
