FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a childcare attendance app, and why is it useful?
A childcare attendance app helps preschools and daycare centers replace manual registers with a digital system that records student and staff attendance in real time.

It ensures accurate daily tracking, improves safety through secure check-ins, and simplifies communication with families. By automating tasks like ratio monitoring, leave tracking, and medical form collection, it supports both administrative efficiency and compliance with early education regulations.
2. Can illumine be used as an attendance register app?
Yes, illumine functions as a modern, all-in-one attendance register app that digitally tracks both student and staff check-ins, check-outs, and absences.

Whether you're using the mobile app or the web dashboard, teachers and administrators can log attendance instantly, monitor real-time classroom activity, and generate detailed reports with just a few clicks.

illumine also allows you to track live student-to-staff ratios for each classroom, helping ensure compliance with safety standards and enabling better resource planning.

It removes the guesswork from attendance management and ensures your records are always organized, accessible, and audit-ready.
3. Is illumine suitable for preschool and daycare centers?
Absolutely. illumine is purpose-built as a preschool attendance app and daycare attendance software, supporting all the specific needs of early education centers. 

From contactless check-ins to real-time ratios and authorized pick-ups, it covers everything that preschools and daycare programs need to run smoothly and stay compliant, while also enhancing parent engagement and operational transparency.
4. How does the contactless check-in system in illumine work?
illumine offers multiple secure, contactless options for check-ins and check-outs to simplify daily routines and enhance safety.

Parents can check their child in by scanning a QR code using the illumine app. Alternatively, teachers can scan the child’s school-issued ID card, or families can use a unique kiosk code on a tablet or phone placed at the school.

Teachers also have the flexibility to manually record attendance through the app or web platform, provided they have the necessary permissions.

In addition, illumine supports late check-ins, allowing staff to mark the specific time of arrival. Schools can also customize the check-in form to suit their policies—options include capturing a photo, recording temperature, and collecting a parent’s signature during check-in.

These features make drop-offs seamless while ensuring security, compliance, and accurate record-keeping.
5. Can illumine track both student and staff attendance?
Yes, illumine allows you to track both student and staff attendance within the same platform. Attendance can be recorded manually, via QR code, or through kiosk mode, and both students and staff can be moved across assigned rooms as needed. Leaves are also tracked digitally, making it easier to manage scheduling and maintain the required child-to-teacher ratios throughout the day.
6. How does illumine support secure drop-offs and pick-ups?
As a reliable daycare sign-in app, illumine ensures that only authorized guardians can check children in or out.

Parents can assign approved pick-up contacts directly in the app, and the system logs every entry, creating a transparent and secure drop-off and pick-up experience. Optional geo-fencing further enhances safety by restricting check-ins to pre-defined zones around the center.
7. How does illumine help centers maintain student-staff ratios?
With built-in student attendance tracking software features, illumine continuously monitors the student-to-staff ratio in real time and alerts administrators if ratios fall below required standards.

This is critical for compliance in regulated childcare environments and helps centers stay ahead of audits while ensuring each child receives adequate supervision.
8. What is attendance forecasting in illumine, and how does it help?
Attendance forecasting gives administrators a daily overview of expected student numbers, those already checked in or out, and those marked absent. This allows centers to analyze utilized capacity, and plan for new enrollments ahead of time. It’s especially valuable for high-capacity centers using preschool attendance software to optimize occupancy and resource planning.
9. Can illumine support billing and payroll through attendance?
Yes, illumine links attendance to billing and payroll through its integrated digital attendance system. The platform tracks check-in times, late pick-ups, and early drop-offs to enable accurate, attendance-based billing for families. 

Staff hours and time off are logged for payroll purposes, making it easier to process payments, claim government subsidies, or generate financial reports.
10. Is illumine a good fit as preschool attendance software for large centers?
Definitely. illumine scales seamlessly and functions as a robust preschool attendance software solution for both small and large centers. It offers centralized dashboards, automated attendance logs, occupancy reports, real-time ratio alerts, and multi-room support. 

Whether you're managing one classroom or a full preschool campus, illumine provides the tools needed to streamline operations, improve communication, and stay compliant.
