Licensing Records

When the licensor walks in, the binder is already on the screen.

Sign-in sheets, ratios, drills, staff credentials, DCYF attendance and staff hours in one place.

Licensing visits ask for the same records every time. Bloomz keeps signed sign-in and sign-out sheets, ratios by age band, immunization status, a drill log and staff credentials with expiry reminders, and for Washington centers an electronic attendance export. Staff clock-ins become timesheets, with pay rates, overtime rules and time off, and approved hours sync to your payroll provider. Bloomz helps you keep the records; your state's rules decide what you need.

Set the table your state uses. A room can be stricter than the center, never looser. When Toddlers and Preschool combine at 6:30 PM, the stricter ratio applies.

01

Attendance and health records, ready to print

Every check-in and check-out carries the time, the adult and a signature, so the sign-in sheet for any day is a print button. Immunization status for every child exports the same way.

✓
Signed sign-in sheets: any day, any room
✓
Monthly export: CSV for your files
✓
Immunization status: who is current, who is due
✓
Staff clock-in history: from the kiosk and phone
02

Ratios, drills and staff files

Set the ratio table your state uses per age band; a room can be stricter than the center, never looser. Log every drill with its time and the rooms that took part, and see the next one due. Track first aid, background checks and training hours per staff member, with a reminder before anything lapses.

Washington DCYF electronic attendance

For centers that take Working Connections subsidy: enter your SSPS provider number once, then export every sign-in and sign-out over any date range with who signed and how (PIN, e-signature or staff entry), an audit of every correction, and a monthly report per child. Those are the records DCYF's electronic attendance checklist asks for. Bloomz is not yet on DCYF's approved-systems list; until it is, keep your current approved system for subsidy attendance.

✓
SSPS provider number: set once for the center
✓
Transaction export: who, when and how for each sign-in and sign-out
✓
Edit audit: every correction, before and after
✓
Monthly report: days and hours per child

export for any date range
Each transaction, the edit audit and the monthly report, as CSV.

Staff pay rules, time off and hours that reach payroll

Set each person's pay rate and your overtime rules. Staff request time off (PTO) from their phone and the director approves it. Clock-ins become a timesheet per pay period; the director fixes a missed clock-out with a reason and approves each person, and the approved hours sync live to QuickBooks Payroll and Gusto. ADP is coming. Bloomz does not run payroll; your payroll provider pays staff.

✓
Pay rates and overtime rules: set per person and per center
✓
PTO requests from the phone: approved by the director
✓
Approval: before anything syncs
✓
QuickBooks Payroll and Gusto: approved hours synced live; ADP coming; no payroll processing
05

Visitors and volunteers on the record

Visitor management keeps a log of every visitor and contractor, screened against a watchlist before a badge prints. Volunteer compliance runs background checks and approval for parent volunteers before they are in a room with children.

✓
Visitor log: every visitor and contractor
✓
Watchlist screening: with badges

Questions we hear

Common questions

Does Bloomz make us compliant with licensing?

No software can. Bloomz keeps the records your licensor asks for in one place and reminds you before something lapses. Your state's rules decide what you need.

Is Bloomz an approved DCYF electronic attendance system?

Not yet. Bloomz produces the export DCYF's checklist asks for, but until Bloomz is on the approved list, Washington centers keep their current approved system for Working Connections attendance.

Can a room have a stricter ratio than the center?

Yes. A room can be stricter than the center's table, never looser.

Does Bloomz run payroll?

No. Approved hours sync to QuickBooks Payroll or Gusto, and your payroll provider pays staff. ADP is coming.
