Features

Everything your program needs

One platform for staff, parents, and administrators. No paper sign-in sheets, no confusion.

Government ID Verification

Parents verify their identity once with a real government ID. Staff see their verified photo on every pickup — no guessing.

QR Code Check-Out

Parents generate a time-limited QR code in the app. Teachers scan in seconds. No PIN sharing, no manual lookups.

Integrated Payments

Weekly, monthly, or drop-in billing. Late pickup fees auto-charged. Parents pay directly in the app — no invoice chasing.

Real-Time Notifications

Parents get push notifications the moment their child is checked in or out. Always in the loop.

Attendance Tracking

Full attendance history, daily sign-in sheets, and exportable reports — always accurate and up to date.

Multiple Authorized Pickups

Add grandparents, aunts, uncles — anyone. Each person verifies their own identity and gets approved individually.

Testimonials

Loved by programs nationwide

We switched from paper sign-in sheets and haven't looked back. Bright After School saves us 30 minutes every afternoon and our parents love the notifications.

Program Director, Sunshine After-School

The identity verification gives us real peace of mind. We finally know with certainty who is picking up each child. That's priceless.

James K.
Site Coordinator, Lakeside Elementary

Setup took less than an hour and our parents were enrolled within a week. The QR check-out is so fast — parents love it.
