Approved Electronic Attendance Systems
Approval of an electronic attendance system does not constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Providers are under no obligation to use a third party system; the provider assumes the risks associated with doing business with the third party vendor.
This is a list of DCYF-approved electronic attendance systems as of April 4, 2024. This list will be updated regularly as new systems are approved.
