Each family gets their own secure PIN. At drop-off they tap it into the kiosk and they are done — no clipboard, no sign-in sheet. If a guardian ever needs a new PIN, the change applies instantly at the kiosk with no re-sync required.
Attendance & check-in
Attendance software that keeps counting — even when the wifi doesn't.
Families check in with their own PIN, staff see who's in every room in real time, and the kiosk shrugs off internet outages. Not a clipboard in sight.
Drop-off in seconds
A morning rush that actually rushes.
Check-in is the busiest ten minutes of your day. DayLynx turns it into a tap instead of a line.
Every family gets a secure PIN of their own. At drop-off, a parent taps it in and their child is checked in — no staff member juggling a sign-in sheet while also holding a toddler's backpack. If a guardian needs a new PIN, the change works instantly at the kiosk, with no re-sync and no waiting.
Pickups get the same care in reverse. The kiosk validates every authorized pickup person with a PIN, and staff see reference photos right at the door so they can match a face before a child leaves. Someone who isn't on the child's list simply can't take them home.
And when the internet hiccups — because it always picks the worst moment — the kiosk keeps recording every check-in and check-out, then syncs the whole morning the second the connection returns. No lost records, no paper backup binder, no re-entering names at naptime.
Live headcounts
Always know who is in your care.
One glance answers the question every director asks all day long: who's here, and where?
Room-by-room, all day long
A live view shows exactly who is in each room right now — arrivals, departures, and absences update everywhere in real time, from the front desk to the director’s office.
Ratios that update themselves
As staff clock in and out, room ratios recalculate automatically. You see coverage gaps as they form, not after a walk down the hallway.
Corrections with a paper trail (minus the paper)
Made a mistake? Fix attendance with a clear, auditable history. Every change records what happened and who made it, so your records stay licensing-ready.
