## What is Bright Badge?

BrightBadge makes childcare check-in and pickup safe, simple, and accountable. Designed for daycare centers, preschools, and after-school programs, BrightBadge replaces paper sign-in sheets with a secure digital system that parents, guardians, and staff all trust.

HOW IT WORKS
Parents check in their children using a daily rotating pickup code. Staff verify the code on a shared kiosk tablet. At pickup time, only authorized parents and guardians can sign children out — with a digital signature captured for every transaction.

KEY FEATURES

CHECK-IN & CHECKOUT
Secure daily pickup codes rotate automatically. Parents present their code at the kiosk, staff verify identity, and children are checked in or out with a full audit trail.

KIOSK MODE
Turn any tablet into a dedicated check-in station. Kiosk mode locks the device to BrightBadge with keep-awake, preventing accidental exits during busy drop-off and pickup times.

GUARDIAN MANAGEMENT
Parents can add trusted guardians (grandparents, babysitters, family members) who receive their own pickup authorization. Each guardian gets a unique QR code for fast verification.

REAL-TIME ATTENDANCE
Staff see live attendance dashboards showing which children are present, expected, or absent. Owners get daily attendance statistics at a glance.

DIGITAL SIGNATURES
Every check-out requires a signature, creating a legally defensible record. Signatures are searchable and exportable for compliance and record-keeping.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
Instant alerts when your child is checked in or out. "On My Way" notifications let the center know you are heading to pickup.

MULTI-SITE SUPPORT
Manage multiple childcare locations from a single owner account. Each site has its own staff, children, parents, and attendance records.

HEALTH RECORDS
Track allergies, medical conditions, medications, and dietary restrictions for each child. Staff can access critical health information during emergencies.

PRIVACY & SECURITY
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. BrightBadge follows industry best practices for protecting children's personal information.

BUILT FOR EVERYONE
Available in English and Spanish. Designed with accessibility in mind for parents and staff of all technical backgrounds.

FREE TO USE
Create your childcare center and start managing check-ins today — completely free.
