Parents trust the people at the door. A biometric attendance system (also called a fingerprint attendance machine or time attendance system) records who arrived, and when, with their own finger or face. For daycares and early childhood centres, that means carers recorded each morning, and staff-to-child ratios are clear.
Key takeaways
- Carers recorded each morning
- Staff-to-child ratios are clear
- Substitutes included for their days

07Frequently asked questions
Can it show who is on site now?
Yes. A live view shows who has clocked in.
Does it help with safety checks?
It records staff presence. It is one part of a safe centre, not a replacement for supervision.
Can parents see it?
That is up to the centre.
Can staff cheat it?
A fingerprint or face belongs to one person, so nobody can clock in for a friend the way they can on paper.
Can it feed payroll?
Yes. Reports export hours, lateness and overtime for your payroll team.
Is biometric attendance legal in Kenya?
Yes, with care. In Kenya the Data Protection Act, 2019 treats biometric data as sensitive personal data, so tell staff why you collect it, store it securely and use it for attendance only. This is general information, not legal advice.
How many staff can one terminal hold?
Models hold from hundreds to several thousand fingerprints or faces. We pick the size from your headcount on the survey.
