As a suggestion to make it easier to get whanau to sign attendance verifications- perhaps provide an optional pop-up for them at their last sign out for the week. They would be able to click a pop-up button that takes them to a weekly Discover Attendance Verification for immediate action. This would save them time and get more people actually signing off the weekly attendance verification in a more timely manner

Please change the wording: “Each child is checked every 5 (or 10)minutes or less for warmth, breathing and general well-being” Change to “each child is checked every 5-10 minutes or less for warmth, breathing and general well-being; in accordance with the licensing criteria” This was mentioned by ERO, who suggested we change the wording.

Having the option for late fees to be charged out at individual Educator hourly rates is needed for homebased.

Enhance reporting capabilities by including details on who dropped off and picked up children, along with their relationship to the child. As an example, the Daily Checklist report has the Report Fields 'Drop-off' and 'Pick up'

Currently the EAV reminder is scheduled to be sent on a Sunday night. We review the previous weeks attendances on a Monday so it would be great to have the option to pick a day and time for the reminder to go out

Permission fields are great eg Can we use your child's image on social media? However currently parents have the ability to change permissions through the parent portal WITHOUT the preschool getting any alerts. This makes the permissions unreliable as who has time to print reports before putting a photo on social media each time.

The whole point (to me) of a child on casual enrolment, is that they only attend casually and have no booked hours. But when you try to enrol a child casually, in Discover, you must allocate booked hours that they may attend. This is a real pain. We need to be able to put a child into our system without booked days and hours please because they are Casual enrolments and I only want to charge them and appropriately do paperwork and claim funding when they attend.

As a centre, we have a policy in place that in the event a child is more than one hour late, we can mark the child absent (if there was no communication from the parent that they will be late) However, we have noticed that after we have marked a child absent, and a parent then arrives, they do not see that we marked the child absent and can therefore override the system. Is there something we can put in place that should the parent arrive after being marked absent, they see some sort of an alert on the sign in iPad and therefore have to talk to us first as we do not always catch parents when they are in and out of the centre at the speed of lightning:)
