Built for Kumon® & tutoring centers

PACE — student check-in and attendance for Kumon and tutoring centers

PACE turns the iPad at your front desk into a student check-in kiosk — and turns check-ins into a live board, searchable history, and records that satisfy your digital-attendance requirements.

      PACE has run daily check-in at Kumon centers since January 2024, through 13,000+ real visits, Tuesday rushes, and two and a half years of students tapping their own names. Since opening to other centers in August 2026, owners in California, Kansas, Maryland, and Hawaii have switched to it.

      Record-keeping, built in

      Records that speak
      for themselves.

      PACE keeps a complete, auditable record of every visit without anyone thinking about it — real kiosk timestamps, audit-logged corrections, and attendance that is never deleted. Your dashboard includes a Compliance Report page that fills itself in with live evidence from your own records, ready to print whenever anyone asks.

      Kumon's digital check-in self-attestation is due October 31, 2026. PACE is set up in minutes on the iPad you already have.

      What you get

      A front desk that runs itself

      A live board that thinks in sessions

      Students appear the second they tap in, split into 30- and 60-minute panels. Chips age from green to amber to red as each session runs, so one glance tells you who's on pace and who's overdue — no refreshing, no asking around.

      • Updates in real time on every screen
      • Bulk check-out for the kids who sprint past the iPad
      • Click any name for their full story

      A kiosk kids actually use

      First initial, last initial, tap your name — the same three-tap flow that's been checking in five-year-olds without help since January 2024. Big targets, no typing, no accounts, and nothing on screen but names.

      • Optional classwork & homework questions at checkout
      • Kiosk holds nothing but names — pair with iPad Guided Access to lock it down
      • Connection-loss banner with automatic retry

      History you can stand behind

      Pick any day and see every visit with in, out, and duration. Fix a forgotten checkout, add a missed visit, or void a mistake — every manual change is stamped corrected and written to an audit trail, so your records stay honest.

      • Per-student pages: patterns, consistency, streaks
      • Attendance is never deleted — retained 2+ years
      • Export everything to CSV anytime

      Every student, fully understood

      One click on any name answers the questions parents actually ask. When did she join? Does she really come twice a week? Is the classwork getting done? Consistency, arrival habits, weekly rhythm, classwork and homework rates, and every visit ever — computed from attendance your center already produces.

      • Consistency score that ignores holidays and closures
      • Weekly pattern and usual arrival time at a glance
      • The complete, exportable attendance record
      PACE per-student dashboard: 100% consistency score, 147 total attendances, weekly pattern, visits per month, and the complete attendance record

      Attendance intelligence

      Two and a half years of real data shaped these

      The analytics suite was built on two and a half years and 13,000+ real visits of Kumon center data. These are the views owners actually use. Aggregate numbers below are real; student names are illustrative.

      Questions

      Asked by real center owners

      What hardware do I need?

      Any iPad from the last several years, on your center's Wi-Fi. PACE runs in Safari — add it to the home screen and it behaves like an app. Your own computer or phone works for the dashboard.

      What happens if the internet goes out?

      The kiosk shows a clear "connection lost" banner and keeps retrying by itself. Your help docs include a one-page paper fallback, and any missed visits can be added afterward — marked and audit-logged as manual corrections.

      Is my students' information safe?

      PACE stores the minimum: name, optional parent phone, and session length. The kiosk can only ever see names. Every center's data is isolated at the database level, and attendance records are retained for 2+ years and exportable — never silently deleted.

      We've been using paper / a spreadsheet. How do we move?

      Upload your roster as a CSV — PACE walks you through matching columns and reports anything it skipped. Most centers are checking students in the same afternoon.

      Does this satisfy the corporate digital-attendance requirement?

      PACE was built to the eight-point self-attestation checklist, and your dashboard includes a Compliance Report page that fills in each item with live evidence from your own records, formatted for printing. Kumon has asked US centers to complete the self-attestation by October 31, 2026, and a center that starts today has its records in place well before then.

      What if I cancel?

      Your center goes read-only — nothing is deleted, and you can still view and export everything. Subscribe again and check-ins resume instantly.

      Your iPad is already at the front desk.

      Give it a job. Roster in, kiosk up, compliant — this afternoon.
