There are different types of check in sheet format, they include:

√ Sign-in Sheets: by Day (or "Month")
In this format, the whole class can be on the same page and several sheets can be merged and included at the same time. This is a roster format and can be quite useful in saving space. There is the Sign In-Out Page. It also captures the name of the child, the drop In time and the pickup time along with space for parent signatures.

√ Sign-in Sheets: by Student
A larger set of binders are incorporated here because each child has to have their page. Although the advantage is that only periodical maintenance will be required, it still does not change the fact that the pages are prone to be torn as each parent try to flip around, in search of the names of their children.

√ Initial versus Signature
Some licensing agencies require that the signature is stored for each Sign In or Sign Out; therefore, it is expedient that you have the full details of the child's information to make this work.

Through the advent of important check-in apps like CloudBB . The game can be taken to a higher level by capturing the face of the parents and teachers for parent check in and staff check in, in addition to the "sheet method".
