But I feel that all surfaces in the daycare are covered in cooties. I should probably keep some hand sanitizer in my car for when I forget to wash them when I'm inside the daycare. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902740 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 23:08:55 +0000 Corduroy 1902740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I had no idea entry systems were so varied. We knock on the door at LOs in home daycare. If I want someone else to pick LO up I just text a picture of the person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902739 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 23:05:53 +0000 78h2o 1902739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: ours is the exact same. The only thing I don't like about the scanner is that I feel like the hand pad is covered in cooties...all those parents walking their kids into school and then touching that same spot. I try to wash my hands or use sanitizer soon after. It also sometimes takes a few seconds longer than I'd like to recognize my hand. ETA: Also, the iPad is a little annoying too as you have to put in your code, select the first letter of your last time, select your kid, hit check in or out, sign using your finger, then hit close...too many screens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902738 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:55:41 +0000 sunny 1902738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is an iPad at the front door with passcode to sign her in/out. To get in the doors, we use a handprint scanner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902731 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:44:24 +0000 ALV91711 1902731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We walk in the front door that has really loud chimes. I write down his time in and out on his sheet in the binder. No high tech stuff here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902519 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 18:52:19 +0000 Charm54 1902519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: me too??!! Dd goes to a daycare but I just walk in, say hello and bring LO to her room?? Never heard of key fobs, gate codes or fingerprint scans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902516 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 18:50:14 +0000 birdofafeather 1902516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we only do a once a week thing and we check her in and then walk her to the playground on campus where they start their morning. extremely low tech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902448 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 17:39:14 +0000 StbHisMrs 1902448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @jetsa: Exactly! I knock as I'm opening the door as M is running in kicking her boots off!</p> <p>When my son was in preschool we had to go into the office and sign a form with an in/out time and date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902386 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 16:14:04 +0000 jetsa 1902386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: haha right?

It records your sign-in/out times so if you are a habitual late picker-upper they can charge you. :silly: (also of course let's them know who is there or not for the day).</p> <p>In her classroom we also have to fill out a daily sheet for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902328 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 15:25:27 +0000 blackbird 1902328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Totally. T locks the door after the 4 kids show up, so it's not like people are in/out all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902266 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:54:33 +0000 PurplePeony 1902266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a swipe card to get into the facility and then good old-fashioned pen and paper to sign in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902260 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:49:29 +0000 wheres_c 1902260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ipad with password to check in, RFID card to unlock door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902240 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:26:42 +0000 matador84 1902240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I do like it because I feel like the kids are extra monitored with the code to get in the building and then check in/out on computer. Especially since it is house in a church, all doors that access into the daycare have key codes. </p> <p>But, I don't like the new fingerprint system. It feels like my privacy is being violated in a way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-check-in-to-daycare#post-1902230 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 14:17:49 +0000 LulaBee 1902230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone buzzes us in, and we sign her out on a sheet.
