Check In System / Late Pick Up Notification

[Checkinkids.com]

I am looking for 20 day cares to demo software that I have written. www.checkinkids.com is software that allows you to track check in/out times by letting parents simply enter their phone number and check their children as either checked in or out at pick up and drop off locations. The system tracks time spent at daycare and allows you to post messages to specific parents at time of drop off or pick up. Parents can also be alerted if they have ran over daily time limits. The first 20 to sign up get free lifetime membership for testing.

If you have questions, feel free to call 812-272-9565. My name is Michael Baker. I originally developed this system for my wife's daycare www.helpinghannah.com - but realized that it may be useful for other daycares as well. To register - go to the site, click on plans and pricing, go through the check out steps. The price is set to $0 and no credit card info is collected. Once you sign up for an account, you can log back in and use the system.

I would like to test it out. I'm trying to go green and this sounds like it might work out. Great idea excited to try it

I would first be interested in how our members use the software. Since you are a programmer you have the ability to tweak the program as to the needs of daycare operators.

Doesn't Minute Menu offer the same concept of logging a child in and out of dacyare to track and log the hours automatically?

I think this is a great idea! I really like the simplicity of it (perfect for non-techies like me ).

I created an account and was able to enter my rates, but it wouldn't let me enter family/child information. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds great but I'm a little leary of registering for an account when all of the customer service information is in a foreign language :confused:

Ah - my first bug report! Thank you so much. What you saw is not a foreign language but is simply jibberish dummy text used by many web developers to see how a page will look before they actually write content. Just google "lorem ipsum". I forgot to do this page during development. Thanks to your report, I will fix that immediately and put in English!

You can create a parent account on the actual check in page (where parents enter their phone number). This is opened by going to "Open Clock Interface".
On this page, you'll see where parents can enter their phone number to check in. If they do not have an account, they can create one here by clicking the "Fill out this quick form" link below their phone number boxes. This way you(the daycare provider) does not have to enter the info for all parents. It is a one time form that each parent can quickly fill out themselves. I will be creating a "How To" section on the website soon.

Okay then. LOL!! I am pretty good with a computer but on the main page I do not see a "plans and pricing" link. Is it actually listed as something else?

Sounds like a useful idea! I have a lot of families who I have to manually track their hours and make sure they do not go over their allotted daily limits. Hopefully, this will be a very useful tool.

Hi! Yes, on the homepage there is a green button on the right side that says "View Plans and Pricing". Just click that and you'll the see the current available plan(s).

Well, this might be an obvious question but, how do the parents enter their info? Do they have to have access to my computer? Or do they text their time in to the system? Or call it in? How exactly does this work?

There will need to be a computer with an internet connection at the point of check in/check out. The site can also be used with an iphone or other mobile device. You can open the clock in/out screen by going logging in and clicking "Open Clock Interface"
