Late arrivals flagged against the schedule
Attendance notices for late clock-ins, no-shows and missed clock-ins reach the director as they happen, and the live time tracker shows who is in the building.

Scheduling for schools, childcare centres and tutoring teams
Schedule early-childhood educators, supply staff, tutors and after-school programs across several sites. Schedule by location and position, track hours against fixed weekly patterns, block out closures, and keep certifications current for licensing.
What gets in the way
Where the week falls apart
Ratios depend on who shows up
A late educator changes the room ratio, and the director finds out from the room, not the schedule.
Closures and PD days are announced by e-mail
Blackout dates live in a newsletter; time-off requests still come in for them.
Certifications for licensing inspections
First aid and CPR expiry dates are tracked in a binder that is checked the week of the inspection.
How Shift Terminal fits
Shift Terminal for education
Blocked dates and time-off types
Mark closures, PD days and "no time off allowed" weeks on the calendar as blocked dates. Custom paid and unpaid time-off types and accrual policies handle the rest.
Certifications and acknowledged policies
Record certifications with expiry dates, filter by "expiring soon", and publish policies as documents staff must acknowledge, with a record of who did.
Fixed weekly patterns
Give salaried or fixed-hours staff a weekly work pattern, so timesheets compare worked hours against the pattern and projected labour cost is right before the period closes.

All of it is included in the one flat price. These are the areas that matter most for teams like yours.
FAQ
Questions from teams in education
Can we run several centres on one account?
Yes. Each centre is a schedule and a job site; directors see their own, and the administrator sees all of them.
Can supply staff pick up shifts?
Post open shifts to your supply pool. They pick up or bid from their phones, and you can require approval before it lands on the schedule.
Does time off accrue automatically?
Yes. Accrual policies run per hour, day, week, month or year, with carry-over and caps, and balances are visible to staff in the app.
