Before & after school programs have unique challenges

Variable schedules, split families, and kids arriving at all hours. Your software should handle all of it.

Variable hours, complicated billing

Some kids come 2 days, some come 5. Some stay an hour, some stay three. Hourly and daily rate billing handles it all automatically based on actual attendance.

Safe pickup is everything

Know exactly who’s authorized to pick up each child. Digital check-out with signature capture creates a clear record for every pickup.

Parents need real-time updates

Bus arrived late? Schedule change? Send a message and know exactly which parents have read it. No more unanswered group texts.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Purpose-built tools that save you hours every week.

Flexible Check-In/Out

Kids arrive and leave at different times throughout the day. PIN or QR code check-in accurately captures every arrival and departure for billing.

  • PIN or QR code check-in
  • Accurate time tracking for billing
  • Digital signature on pickup
  • Late pickup auto-detection
  • Staff batch check-in for groups

The hourly billing is exactly what we needed. Kids come for different hours each day and the invoices generate automatically. Saved us 8+ hours a month in manual calculations.

Parents love checking in with a PIN at the door. It’s fast, it’s secure, and we have a digital record of every pickup. No more paper sign-out sheets.

When the bus is late, I send a message and can see which parents have read it. That peace of mind is worth the subscription alone.
