Many times families plan to take off from care for a day or two. Maybe they go to the beach, spend time with family, are out sick, family emergency, etc. It would be great if parents can log in and mark their child absent before check-in is completed. This will save staff the time of contacting the familiy after drop-off has been completed and the school/camp day has begun. Currently, parents write a note then staff have to manually remember to do this once that day has begun. It'd save time and staff hours if parents can do it themselves.
