Every feature your program needs
From identity-verified pickups to automated billing, Bright After School covers the full lifecycle of after-school care management.
Built for child safety first
Every feature in this category was designed with one goal: making sure the right person picks up the right child, every time.
Government ID Verification
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.
Time-Limited QR Check-Out
Each QR code is unique to the pickup session and expires after use. No screenshots, no sharing — every checkout is cryptographically fresh.
Multiple Authorized Pickups
Enroll grandparents, babysitters, family friends — anyone you trust. Each person completes identity verification independently and gets individually approved by the program.
Get paid without the hassle
Bright After School handles billing automatically so you can focus on running your program, not chasing invoices.
Integrated Online Payments
Families pay their invoices in the app and choose how — by card, or straight from a bank account. Money settles into your program's own payout account and the invoice marks itself paid: no invoice chasing, no cheques, no manual tracking.
Invoicing Built In
Bill any family any amount, for tuition, a field trip, or a late pickup. Set the due date, watch what's collected and what's outstanding, and record cash payments alongside card ones.
Recurring plans and automatic late feesIn development
Weekly and monthly tuition on a schedule, sibling discounts, and per-minute late fees charged without anyone having to ask.
Keep everyone informed
Real-time alerts, detailed reports, and a powerful dashboard keep staff, parents, and directors on the same page.
Real-Time Push Notifications
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.
Attendance Tracking & Reports
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.
Administrative Dashboard
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.
