Check-In, Pickup & Ratios

Know who is in every room, and who is allowed to take them home.

A kiosk families use in ten seconds, and a ratio you can see before a licensor does.

Families check in at a kiosk or with a QR code, answer the health check and sign. Staff clock in the same way, so each room shows its head count against the staff on the floor. At pickup, the adult has to be on the child's list, and a custody note stops the check-out (rolling out).

01

Ten seconds at the door, a signed record behind every child

A parent enters a PIN or scans a QR code, picks the children, answers the health check and signs. Siblings in different rooms check in together. Each check-in and check-out lands on the child's record with the time, the adult and the signature, so the daily sign-in sheet builds itself.

✓
PIN or QR: families and staff use the same kiosk
✓
Health check: the questions your program asks, answered at the door
✓
Guardian signature: on check-in and check-out
✓
Sign-in sheets: print a day or export a month
02

Ratios you can see before they slip

Staff clock in on the kiosk or their phone and are counted in the room they are in. The room board shows children and staff side by side, so the director sees the Toddler room go over during a break and sends help, instead of finding out from a licensor. Age-band tables per room, with a room allowed to be stricter than the center, are rolling out.

✓
Staff clock-in: kiosk or phone
✓
Room board: children and staff, right now
✓
Age-band ratio tables (rolling out): your state's numbers, per room
✓
Combined rooms (rolling out): the stricter ratio applies at open and close

Pickup that holds up when a stranger is at the door

Each child carries a list of adults who may pick them up, with photos. At check-out, an adult who is not on the list is stopped, and a child with a custody note cannot be checked out without the director (rolling out). The parent gets a notice when their child leaves.

✓
Authorized adults with photos: kept by the family, approved by the office
✓
Custody stop (rolling out): check-out waits for the director
✓
Pickup notice: the parent knows the moment their child leaves
✓
Late pickup: feeds your late-fee policy

Questions we hear

Common questions

Do we need special hardware?

No special hardware. Check-in runs on a tablet at the door, and families can use their own phone with a QR code.

Can staff check in on the same kiosk?

Yes. Staff clock in with their own PIN, and that is what feeds the room ratio.

Can we print the daily sign-in sheet?

Yes. Print a day or export a month as a CSV, with the time, the adult and the signature for every check-in and check-out.

Does Bloomz report subsidy attendance to the state?

In Washington, Bloomz produces what DCYF's electronic attendance checklist asks for: every sign-in and sign-out with who signed and how, an audit of every correction, and a monthly report per child (rolling out). Bloomz is not yet on DCYF's approved-systems list, so keep using your current approved system for subsidy attendance until it is. In other states, keep using your state's system; Bloomz keeps your own signed record.
