What do you want to do today?
What does it cost all-in, including the card fee?

$99 a month per location, at 20 children or 200. 3.5% on cards, 1% on bank transfers. You choose who pays it.

Will the billing work — subsidies, agencies, autopay?

Autopay collects tuition, and a subsidy invoice splits the agency's share from the family's.

Check-in, ratios and licensing?

Check in at the door, watch ratios on Today, and print the licensing roster for an inspector.

Daycare Check-In Features

Everything you need for secure, efficient drop-off and pickup at your center.

PIN Code Check-In

Every parent and pickup person gets their own individual PIN. They enter it on a kiosk tablet to check the child in or out. Fast, secure, and no app download required.

QR Code Support

Parents can scan a personal QR code from their phone for even faster check-in. Perfect for busy drop-off times when speed matters most.

Authorized Pickup Lists

Maintain a list of authorized pickups for every child. Staff see exactly who is allowed to pick up each child, and get alerts for unauthorized attempts.

Real-Time Notifications

Parents receive instant notifications when their child is checked in or out. Peace of mind for working parents who want to know their child arrived safely.

Touchless Kiosk Mode

Deploy Bloomily on an iPad at your entrance. The dedicated kiosk interface is designed for high-traffic drop-off and pickup with a clean, simple layout.

What is a Daycare Check-In App?

A daycare check-in app is a digital sign-in system that replaces paper sheets at your center entrance. Parents use PIN codes or QR codes to check their child in and out on a tablet kiosk, creating a secure, timestamped record of every arrival and departure.

Beyond simple sign-in, modern check-in apps like Bloomily verify authorized pickups, send real-time notifications to parents, track late pickups, and integrate with your billing and attendance systems. This means one system handles check-in, attendance tracking, and payment collection together.
