Little Steps · Attendance and check-in

Know who is in, who is arriving, and who needs attention.

Replace paper registers with live room rosters, one-tap check-in, absence tracking, and a parent-safe kiosk built for busy nursery mornings.

What it covers

Attendance that keeps the morning moving.

Live room rosters

Teachers see today's children by room, with expected, checked-in, absent, and checked-out status clear at a glance.

Parent-safe kiosk

Open a QR kiosk for drop-off so parents can check in safely while staff focus on greeting children.

Absence tracking

Record sick days, travel, and planned absences so owners and teachers are not guessing who should be present.

Morning control

From first arrival to final pickup, the day stays accounted for.

Attendance updates flow into the owner dashboard, room view, parent updates, and daily records, so one tap creates context everywhere it matters.

  • See who is expected, present, absent, or checked out in each room.
  • Let parents use the kiosk without exposing another family’s information.
  • Keep attendance history ready for operations, billing context, and parent reassurance.

How it works

A simple flow for the busiest part of the day.

  1. 1

    Start with today’s room roster

    Teachers open their room and see only the children they are responsible for today.

  2. 2

    Check children in

    Staff check in with one tap, or open the QR kiosk when the entrance gets busy.

  3. 3

    Mark absences and late arrivals

    Managers and teachers can keep the roster clean as families call ahead or children arrive later.

  4. 4

    Check out at pickup

    The same record closes the day, so parents and directors know the handoff happened.

Questions

What nurseries usually ask.

Can parents check children in themselves?

Yes. Little Steps includes a parent-safe QR kiosk for drop-off, while staff still keep oversight of the room roster.

Does attendance work by classroom?

Yes. Teachers see the roster for their room, while owners and directors can review attendance across rooms.
