Attendance & Check-in
Effortless check-ins, accurate every time
Swap the clipboard for a tablet at the door. Daily Cubby records every arrival and departure with a timestamp and a signature, keeps room ratios live, and turns it all into the reports your licensor asks for.
What you can do
Tap or scan to check in
Families sign in with a PIN, a QR code, or a signature on the door tablet. Staff can check a whole room in from their phone in seconds.
Live ratios by room
See how many children and educators are in each room right now, with a warning the moment a room drifts out of ratio.
Accurate timestamps
Every arrival, departure, and room transfer is stamped and attributed, so late pickups and early drop-offs are never a guess.
Licensing-ready records
Export attendance for any date range in the format your state or subsidy program expects.
How it works
Set up your rooms
Add rooms, capacities, and required ratios once. Daily Cubby uses them to power ratio warnings and reports.
Check in at the door
Families or staff check in on a tablet, phone, or kiosk. Offline check-ins sync as soon as the connection returns.
Review and export
Watch the day unfold on the attendance dashboard, then export or share records whenever they're requested.
Why centers switch
- No more transcribing paper sign-in sheets at the end of the day
- Ratio problems surface while you can still fix them
- Late-pickup fees calculate themselves from real timestamps
- Licensing visits stop being a scramble for paperwork
Common questions
Yes. A door tablet or kiosk works for families who prefer to sign in on-site, including a finger signature. Staff can also check a child in on their behalf.
Check-ins are stored on the device and sync automatically once you're back online, so the door never stops working.
Attendance exports include the fields most subsidy programs ask for, and you can filter by funding type before exporting.
