What are Name-to-Face Checks?

Name-to-Face Checks are a mandatory safety practice designed to ensure no child is left behind during transitions. This feature requires you to visually confirm every student and match them to a physical attendance roster, helping you maintain compliance with safety standards and keeping children in your center safe.

Turning on Name-to-Face Checks

To enable Name-to-Face Checks in your center:

1. Navigate to Settings
2. Click Features
3. Toggle on Name-to-Face Checks

Once enabled, children who are checked in will display the Name-to-Face icon when it's time to complete a check.

When Name-to-Face Checks are triggered

Name-to-Face Checks are automatically triggered in three situations:

• Upon initial check-in - When a child first arrives at your center
• When moving rooms - During transitions between classrooms or areas
• After the default timer expires - Every 15 minutes by default

When a Name-to-Face Check is required, you'll see the Name-to-Face icon next to the child's name.

How to complete a Name-to-Face Check

To complete a Name-to-Face Check:

1. Select the children you are completing a Name-to-Face Check for
2. Click the Action menu
3. Click Attendance
4. Click Name-to-Face Check

You'll receive a confirmation once the check is complete.

Completing manual Name-to-Face Checks

If you need to complete a one-off Name-to-Face Check outside of the automatic triggers, follow the same process:

1. Select the children you want to check
2. Click the Action menu
3. Click Attendance
4. Click Name-to-Face Check

This allows you to perform additional safety checks whenever needed to keep children in your center safe.
