Providers who get Working Connections Child Care subsidies must track attendance using an electronic attendance system.
This includes child care centers, family home child care providers, and Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) providers.
Providers can use DCYF’s Electronic Attendance System or another system approved by DCYF.
DCYF’s electronic attendance system is free for providers. Training is available in different languages and can be done online, in person, or at your own pace.
If you are using your own approved attendance system, please send your name, SSPS Number, and the name of the system to electronic.attendance@dcyf.wa.gov.
Attendance Project Goals
The electronic attendance system will:
- Switch from using paper to a cloud-based attendance system.
- Make it faster and easier to calculate attendance hours.
- Help prevent mistakes in child care billing and avoid overpayments.
- Help providers who have different levels of experience with technology.
