1. How Check-In Alerts Work
When a staff member checks your child in or out at the center, KidsDaily automatically sends you a notification:
Sent the moment your child is checked in at arrival.
Sent when your child is checked out at pickup.
These notifications are sent in real-time, usually within seconds of the check-in or check-out being recorded.
2. What You'll See
Each check-in/out alert includes:
Clearly identifies which child (if you have multiple).
The exact time of check-in or check-out.
Whether it's a check-in (arrival) or check-out (departure).
Example notification: "Emma was checked in at Sunshine Daycare at 8:15 AM"
3. Enabling Alerts
To receive check-in/out alerts, make sure notifications are enabled:
Push Notifications (Mobile App)
- Open the KidsDaily app
- Go to Settings
- Make sure push notifications are enabled
- Also check your phone's notification settings for the app
Email Notifications
Check-in alerts can also be sent via email if you prefer. Configure this in your notification preferences.
SMS Notifications
If your center has SMS enabled, you may be able to receive text message alerts for check-ins and check-outs.
4. Viewing Check-In History
You can view a complete history of your child's attendance:
- Go to Attendance in the portal
- View check-in and check-out times by date
- See who performed each check-in/out
- Review total hours for each day
The dashboard shows your child's current status: checked in, checked out, or not present.
5. Troubleshooting
If you're not receiving check-in alerts:
Make sure KidsDaily has permission to send notifications on your phone.
If your phone is in Do Not Disturb mode, notifications may be silenced.
Make sure you have the latest version of the KidsDaily app.
Push notifications require an internet connection.
