Kindertales How-To
Capturing Parent & Staff Images for Check-In
Step 1: Add a User for Facial Recognition

You’re now ready to capture an image of user to allow them to sign-in with facial recognition.

 

  • Access the Administrator Features section.
  • Select which type of user (Parent or Staff) you’d like to setup.
  • On the following screen find and tap the name of the user.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions and take the users picture.
  • On the following screen compare the picture to the provided examples. Click “Continue” if you’re happy with the photo or “Retake” to try again.
  • Allow the user to select a PIN code. Click Continue and Submit.
  • You’re all done with this user.
Step 2: Checking-In with the App

There are a variety of ways users can check-in using the app:

 

  • Parents and staff can check-in using facial recognition if you’ve captured their image. (Step 6).

  • Parents can check-in with a QR code at any time. They can find this code in the Kindertales parent mobile app.

  • Parents and staff can also manually check-in by tapping the keyboard icon and entering their username and password. They will then be asked to create a PIN for future sign-ins.
Step 3: Parent Check-In

Once a parent has entered their PIN they will arrive on a screen showing all the children they have in care.

 

To check a child in just tap on IN or to check a child out just tap on OUT and then hit continue.

 

The child’s physical location for drop-off and pick-up is also displayed.

 

After this step the parent may need to provide a signature on the tablet if you’ve enabled that option.

Step 4: Staff Check-In

Once a staff member has entered their PIN they will arrive on a screen where they can check in or out.

 

If they are checking-in they will also have the option to select which room they want to check-in to.

 

Select in or out, the room if applicable and hit continue.
