Attendance Tracking & QR Check-In for Activity Centers
Happy Kamper tracks childcare attendance with QR and tap-based check-in. Staff scan a student's QR code or mark them in from the app, and parents and admins see the update on a live roster instantly. It replaces paper sign-in sheets and end-of-month attendance spreadsheets, with Excel export built in.
One feature that replaces paper sign-in sheets and end-of-month attendance spreadsheets, for preschools, kindergartens, daycares, tutoring centers, and activity centers. Scan, register, notify, record. In that order, every single day.
How does check-in work, from scan to record?
This is the daily flow at a center using Happy Kamper. Each step is built to take seconds, not minutes, so the line at the door keeps moving and the paper book stays in the drawer.
Staff scans the student's QR code.
Every enrolled student gets a unique QR code in the parent app. The code can be shared by WhatsApp to whoever is doing drop-off or pick-up. Staff scan it from any phone or tablet.
The student is marked present, and the class roster updates live.
The scan matches against the day's roster instantly, student flips from expected to present, with a timestamp and the staff member who scanned. Teachers in the classroom see the change appear on their tablet without refreshing.
Parents get an instant arrived safely notification.
The family on file gets a push notification on the parent app the moment a check-in is recorded. The same happens at check-out, with the exact time logged.
Staff check students out from the app, not the door.
Check-out is an in-app action: a teacher taps the student in the live roster at pick-up and the time of departure is logged automatically. The roster updates instantly across every device in the center.
Every scan stored, with time on site by day, week, and month.
Attendance is stored per student as a student time tracking report. Time on site is aggregated by day, week, and month and exports to Excel for hourly billing.

|---|---|---|
| Joey Sutanto | 182 abs | 142h |
