KidKiosk

The State of Washington has mandated that licensed Child Care providers track attendance electronically.  Our YMCA's school age child care, preschool and camp sites are now using KidKiosk to keep attendance for electronic Sign in/Out.  With KidKiosk you will be able to sign your child in/Out of the YMCA program. You will also be able to add/Remove Drop off and Pick up Authorizations through KidKiosk.

KidKiosk PIN

  • All authorized individuals will be issued a 4-digit PIN. This PIN is specifically linked to each person’s email. ALL authorized persons dropping off AND picking up will be responsible for using their own PIN and electronic signature to check a child IN and OUT. This PIN may not be shared.

KidKiosk Parent Portal

  • Only the primary parent/guardian’s email is authorized to log into KidKiosk’s Parent Portal using their email as the username and the 4-digit PIN as the password. To access the Parent Portal, go to KidKiosk.com then select the “Parent Tab” to log in.
  • The Parent Portal allows the parent to add/change check in and out authorizations. Any additional people that are needing to be authorized to check in/out a child will have to be added by the primary parent/guardian in KidKiosk.
