TendKid Monitor

TendKid Monitor helps schools and organizations keep children safe and accounted for during journeys between home and their organization. Designed for school bus monitors and other staff responsible for children in transit, TendKid Monitor makes every boarding, alighting and handover explicit, traceable and easy to manage. KEEP TRACK OF EVERY CHILD Quickly check children in when they board and check them out when they leave. At any time, the monitor can see the children currently in their care, helping ensure that no child is forgotten on board. VERIFY AUTHORIZED ADULTS When a child must be handed over by an authorized adult, TendKid Monitor verifies the adult before the child boards or leaves. Children and adults can be identified using QR codes or NFC/RFID cards, with manual name search available when necessary. The app applies the organization's and guardians' handover rules to help ensure that children are only handed over to authorized people. KNOW WHERE CHILDREN ARE During a monitor's active duty session, TendKid Monitor records the location of the monitor's device and shares it with the organization and parents in real time. Because the monitor travels with the children, the monitor's location represents the location of the children in their care. Check-in, check-out and handover events are also associated with their location, creating a clear record of where and when each handover occurred. DESIGNED FOR REAL-WORLD JOURNEYS Internet connectivity can be intermittent during a journey. TendKid Monitor is designed to continue operating with locally synchronized information when connectivity is temporarily unavailable and to synchronize information again when the connection is restored. The app also monitors important device conditions that could affect the continuity of the service, such as network connectivity and battery level. SECURE AND ACCOUNTABLE Each monitor uses their own account, ensuring that operations are attributed to the person responsible for the children. Organizations can authorize specific devices and manage which staff members can use the app. Monitor identity information is also verified and associated with child handover events. TendKid Monitor is part of the TendKid platform for organizations managing children's safety and movement. Important: TendKid Monitor is intended for use by authorized staff members of participating organizations. An organization must have a TendKid account and configure the service before the app can be used operationally.
