Procare is dedicated to ensuring that each program and their parents have the tools to succeed in any environment. As a way of allowing parents to sign their children in and out while only touching their own personal devices, we have introduced QR Codes.

What is a QR Code?

A QR Code is a unique barcode that allows the parent to scan this code with their personal device. The act of scanning the school's unique code allows for the system to track which parent is signing their child in and out without the need of the parent entering their pin into the kiosk.

How Can I Use QR Codes?

Once your school has enabled the QR Codes, they will have a large code that can be displayed to parents/authorized pickups in several ways:

  • Computer Monitor

  • Printed Out and Posted Physically at the Center

  • On the Device with the Parent Kiosk

There are two ways you can utilize the QR code sign-in/out:

  1. Open your Procare mobile app and click the QR code icon in the top right corner.

  2. If you do not have the mobile app installed, simply open the camera on your mobile device. Recommended option for authorized pickups.

QR Scan Process via the Mobile App

  1. From your mobile device, open the Procare mobile app, then click the QR Code icon in the top right corner.

  2. Once the camera opens, scan the QR code posted in your center/school (printed & posted, on a computer monitor, on the parent kiosk, etc.).

  3. Once the code is scanned, select the child(ren) to be signed in/out. Once selected, click SIGN-IN.

  4. Answer the questionnaire, if applicable, then click SUBMIT.

  5. Enter your signature, if enabled, then click DONE. A confirmation message will display when sign-in is successful.

QR Scan Process without the Mobile App

If a parent or authorized pickup is not utilizing the mobile app for sign-in/out, they will simply open their camera from their mobile device and scan the QR code. They will be prompted to open a specific URL to continue sign-in.

  1. Open your camera on your mobile device and scan the QR code posted within your center/school (printed & posted, on a computer monitor, on the parent kiosk, etc.).

  2. Enter your 4-digit PIN and click the arrow on the keypad. Please Note: If you do not know your PIN, this can be found within the mobile app or contact your child’s center/school.

  3. Once the code is scanned, select the children to be signed in/out. Once selected, click SIGN-IN.

  4. Answer the questionnaire, if applicable, then click SUBMIT.

  5. Enter your signature, if enabled, then click DONE.

  6. A confirmation message will display when sign-in is successful.
