How to check children in and out at the kiosk

What it's for

Once your kiosk is set up, you run it on a tablet at your door so families and staff can check children in and out. This is the day-to-day side of the kiosk.

Where to find it

Open the kiosk on the device itself at /preschool-kiosk (for example, on the tablet you keep at reception).

Step-by-step

1. Register the device (first time only)

1. On the tablet, open the kiosk. You'll see Register Device.
2. Enter a Device Name (for example, "Front Desk iPad").
3. Choose the Location / Branch this kiosk belongs to.
4. Tap Start Kiosk Mode. The device is now registered and ready for check-ins.

2. Check children in and out

• Each family or staff member checks in using the method you chose in settings — **QR

Code, PIN Code, or Open Access**.

• If Health Screening is on, the temperature check and any wellness questions run

first. A child over the fever threshold (or reporting symptoms) can be blocked from checking in.

• The header shows a live count of how many children are currently checked in.

3. Review the day's check-ins

Back in Settings → Attendance & Kiosk, the Attendance Audit shows recent events — who checked in or out, when, their temperature, and any symptoms or blocks. Filter it by date range to review a specific day.

Tips & limits

• A device stays registered until you remove it under Registered Kiosk Devices in

settings.

• Kiosk check-ins feed your center's attendance records, so you don't record them

twice.

• Change the check-in method or health rules any time in settings — see *How to set up

the attendance kiosk*.
