Playground App has multiple options to sign children in, out and mark them as absent, as well as notify families of changes to attendance within their Home App. Teachers can also make notes on these events as well as check in with Discover to view these changes and updates.
Check out your options to view and record attendances and absences in the Playground App below:
Viewing Attendance at your Centre
Once you have logged in as a Service, you will be able to see an overview of the room at your centre.
The tiles will display a summary of the attendance information for each room including:
- how many children are currently signed in
- how many bookings are expected
- how many Teachers are required
To make a change, tap to the room you wish to alter first. All changes that can be made to attendances will happen in the Attendance tab, located on the bottom left of the menu.
From here, you can also view a summary of children Signed In, Booked In and others who may be signed in with a casual booking based on the booking rules for the room.
