Center Profile & Settings

Settings is where the rules of your center live. Changes here affect how attendance behaves, when alerts fire and what families see.

Center Information

At the top of Settings, set the Center name, Center address and Timezone. The timezone drives every attendance time and daily record, so set it before your first day of check-ins.

Attendance and Pickup Rules

Under Attendance rules, Pickup rules, Attendance integrity and Alerts you control how check-in and check-out behave:

• Require checkout before pickup: children must be checked out before they leave.
• Allow late checkouts: staff can check children out after closing time.
• Default absent reason: pre-filled when a child is marked absent without a specific reason.
• Require pickup note: staff must add a note before checking a child out.
• Allow non-parent pickups: authorized contacts, not only parents, can pick children up.
• Auto-close attendance at center closing time: records still open 30 minutes after the pickup cutoff are closed automatically. Turning this on asks you to confirm, because auto-closed records can affect CACFP claims.
• Incomplete checkouts alert: shows an alert when children are still checked in near closing time.
• High absence alert: shows an alert when more than 20 percent of children are absent for the day.

Plan and Billing

Under Plan & billing you see your Current plan. Use Change plan to move to another plan, or Manage subscription to update your payment method or see billing history. Data exports for Attendance and Timeline are here too.
