From identity-verified pickups to automated billing, Bright After School covers the full lifecycle of after-school care management.
Every feature in this category was designed with one goal: making sure the right person picks up the right child, every time.
Parents upload a government-issued ID and take a selfie. Our system verifies and creates a trusted profile. Staff see the verified photo on every single pickup — not just a name.
Each QR code is unique to the pickup session and expires after use. No screenshots, no sharing — every checkout is cryptographically fresh.
Enroll grandparents, babysitters, family friends — anyone you trust. Each person completes identity verification independently and gets individually approved by the program.
Bright After School handles billing automatically so you can focus on running your program, not chasing invoices.
Parents pay directly through the app using a card or ACH. No invoice chasing, no checks, no manual tracking. Payments hit your account automatically.
Set a grace period and a per-minute or flat late fee. Bright After School charges it automatically when a child is picked up late — no awkward conversations needed.
Weekly, monthly, drop-in, or custom. Offer family discounts, sibling rates, scholarship pricing — all configurable from your admin dashboard.
Real-time alerts, detailed reports, and a powerful dashboard keep staff, parents, and directors on the same page.
Parents get an instant notification when their child is checked in or out. Staff get alerts for overdue pickups. Everyone stays informed without lifting a finger.
Every check-in and check-out is logged with a timestamp and the verified identity of who picked up. Export daily, weekly, or custom-range reports as CSV.
A single web dashboard for program directors. See attendance at a glance, manage students and staff, review payments, and handle billing all in one place.
Join hundreds of after-school programs that trust Bright After School for safe, verified pickups.
