Check your child in and out

You can check your child in from your phone in the Childcarious app, or at the facility’s kiosk tablet using your PIN.

Check in from your phone

1. On the Home tab, select Check In. If you have more than one child, select the child first.
2. The classroom is filled in for you. If it is not, choose one from the list.
3. Select Confirm Check In.

You see Checked In! and the app returns to the home screen.

Check out

On the Home tab, select Check Out on your child’s card and confirm. Checking out closes the day’s attendance record and records the time.

Your check-in PIN

The facility kiosk asks for a four-digit PIN that belongs to you, not to your child. You use the same PIN for all of your children.

1. Go to the More tab.
2. Under Check-In PIN, tap the eye icon to reveal your current PIN.
3. Select Change to set a new one, then Save.

Keep it to yourself — anyone with your PIN can check your children in and out at the facility door.

What the facility sees

Your check-in appears immediately in the facility’s attendance records, with the time and the classroom. Staff can see who checked a child in.

Troubleshooting

Check In Failed, already checked in. Your child is already checked in for today, perhaps by another parent or by staff at the kiosk. Check the Home tab for their current status.

No classroom is available. Your child has not been assigned to a classroom yet. Contact the facility — this is set up on their side.

Your PIN is not accepted at the kiosk. Reveal your PIN under Check-In PIN in the More tab to confirm what it is. If you change it, the new PIN works at the kiosk straight away.

Unable to update PIN. Another parent at your facility already uses that PIN. Choose different digits.
