About

Murkel Check

Features
Read full description

Murkel Check-in from Elterninitiative Murkel e.V. helps you keep track of when a child arrives and leaves the daycare centre. It also tracks who is picking up a child, or if a child is allowed to go home by themself. In the process, it also helps you keep track of what child is on the premise. This works by using the app to register that a child is on a field trip or at a specific location, such as the playground, gym, game room and so on. If a user has registered the child as being sick or on holiday the app displays this. This feature is optional.
