Sign in — and you're already in!

  1. Open BrightBadge.
  2. Sign in with the same email you gave us when you enrolled. That's how the app knows you're one of our families.
  3. That's it — your child's classroom at The Children's Club is already waiting. Nothing to build, no code to type, no roster to join by hand. We set your family up the moment you were approved.

Used a different email by mistake? Call (914) 618-2959 and we'll match it up for you.

Using BrightBadge every day

  • Drop-off (check-in): at our entrance, a tap in the app — or your family pickup code at our check-in screen — confirms your child has safely arrived.
  • Pickup (check-out): you, or an adult you've authorized, confirm with your pickup code, and your child is safely handed off. Verified every time.

About your pickup code: it's your private family code, like a PIN. Only share it with grown-ups you've approved. Need to change who's allowed? Call (914) 618-2959.

Do I have to fill anything out in the app?

No. Everything you told us during enrollment is already loaded. You just sign in.

What if I don't see my child's classroom?

Make sure you signed in with the same email you enrolled with. Still not there? Call (914) 618-2959 and we'll sort it in a minute.

Is my family's information safe?

Yes. We collect only what we need to care for your child, keep it securely, and never share it beyond your child's care.

I'm on Android — what do I do?

BrightBadge is on Google Play. Follow the Android steps in step 1 above, or tap Get BrightBadge on Google Play.
