Substitutes must bring their driver's license to get inside, and then the license is scanned into the system before the children are released. Infotronics also employs 10 people at a South African branch, where the Kiddy Koral idea originated. We thought it would be a really good fit for a day care center. Mount Zion Lutheran School's day care in Boulder, where the system was piloted, is the only day care currently using Kiddy Koral. This also freed up teachers from having to answer the door.
Parents can use the card to enter the building.
Crabbs said that if parents forget their cards, they can ring the doorbell, and Mount Zion staff will identify them before letting them in. Since all the parents' photos are stored in the computer, it's easy to match up kids with parents. Now, the parents are comfortable with the system, and the children enjoy swiping the cards when they arrive, she said. Infotronics produces only the Kiddy Koral software portion of the setup. Software has a lot faster turn-around time.
