Classroom Kiosk
Turn any tablet into a check-in station
Dedicated kiosk mode, QR code check-ins, and a platform that works on any device. Parents check in fast, teachers stay informed, directors manage from anywhere.
Why It Matters
Every device, one platform
Whether it's an iPad in the lobby or a laptop in the office, cradleOS works where you need it.
Dedicated Kiosk Mode
Turn any tablet into a classroom check-in station. Kiosk mode locks the device to cradleOS so children can't accidentally navigate away or access other apps.
Touchless Check-In Options
Parents can check in by scanning a QR code from their phone, entering a PIN, or tapping on the kiosk screen. Multiple options mean faster drop-offs for everyone.
Works on Any Device
Use cradleOS on iPads, Android tablets, laptops, or desktop computers. The web-based platform adapts to any screen size with no app store downloads required.
Native Desktop App
Directors who prefer a dedicated workspace can use the native macOS app. All your data syncs in real-time between web, kiosk, and desktop.
Offline Resilience
If your internet drops during morning rush, the kiosk keeps working. Check-ins are stored locally and sync automatically when the connection returns.
How It Works
Set up in minutes, run all day
From lobby kiosk to director's desktop, everything stays connected.
Set up your kiosk
Place a tablet at your front desk or classroom entrance. Open cradleOS in the browser and enable kiosk mode - setup takes under five minutes.
Parents check in on arrival
Parents scan their QR code, enter their PIN, or tap the screen to check in their child. The process takes seconds and requires no training.
Teachers see updates instantly
When a child checks in at the kiosk, teachers see them appear on their classroom dashboard in real-time. Headcounts and ratios update automatically.
Directors manage from anywhere
View attendance, generate reports, and manage your center from any device. The desktop app, web dashboard, and kiosk all stay in sync.
