Accepting custody of children in a class using the Point of Care app should be done when a child(ren) enters the classroom and is officially under a center's care for the day. Teachers and Staff using the Point of Care app have the option to move the custody of multiple children (in or out of the classroom) in bulk.
Children who are checked into the center by a parent will keep their original check-in time even after a staff member takes custody of them in the classroom. Children who are not checked in by a parent or guardian will display in the custody change window as Not checked in below the child's name.
Please note: By moving a child who does not have a check-in or check-out time on their name tile, you are reporting the teacher or staff member as the responsible party for accepting or releasing custody of the child.
