Exporting lists

Where to find it

There are two export buttons, each on the page whose data it exports:

• On the Children page (My Children for teachers), click Export at the top right.
• On the Attendance page, click Export at the top right.

Each Export button opens a small menu with two choices: CSV and PDF.

Directors and teachers see these buttons. Teachers' exports only include the children of their own classrooms. Parents don't have export buttons.

How to export the children list

1. Open Children from the left menu.
2. If you only want some children, use the page's filters first: search by name, choose a classroom, or choose Active or Inactive. The export follows the filters you have applied.
3. Click Export, then:
   • CSV to download a spreadsheet file named like "children_2026-10-29.csv".
   • PDF to open a printable page in a new tab.

The children list contains, for each child: Name, Classroom, Age, Gender, Blood Type, Allergies, Emergency Contact and Status (Active or Inactive). Children are sorted by first name.

How to export attendance

1. Open Attendance from the left menu.
2. Choose the day with the date controls, and a classroom if you only want one group. The export follows the date and classroom you have selected.
3. Click Export, then:
   • CSV to download a spreadsheet file named like "attendance_2026-10-29.csv".
   • PDF to open a printable page in a new tab.

The attendance export contains, for each child: Child Name, Classroom, Status, Check-in Time and Check-out Time. The printable page also shows totals at the top: Total Records, Present, Absent and Late.

Saving as PDF

The PDF option opens a print-friendly page, and your browser's print window opens straight away.

1. In the print window, choose Save as PDF (the exact wording depends on your browser) as the printer, or pick a real printer.
2. Click Save or Print.

If you closed the print window, click the Print / Save as PDF button at the top of the page to open it again. The page header shows your center's name and the date.

Opening a CSV file

A CSV file opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or LibreOffice. In most cases you can simply double-click it. If accents look wrong in Excel, use Excel's import option (Data, then From Text/CSV) and choose UTF-8.

Good to know

• The attendance export only lists children who have an attendance record for that day (checked in, absent or excused). Children who have not arrived yet are not in the file.
• Times in the attendance CSV use the 12-hour format, for example "8:15 AM".
• For platform administrators, both exports follow the center filter of their page: the attendance export covers all centers for the chosen day unless a center is chosen on the Attendance page.
• To print an invoice, use the buttons on the invoice itself; see Invoices.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing happens when I click PDF. Your browser may be blocking the new tab. Allow pop-ups for Hi Kiddo and try again.
• The file is missing some children. Check the filters on the page before exporting: a classroom, a search or a status filter limits the export. Teachers only get the children of their own classrooms.
• The attendance file is empty. No attendance was recorded for that day and classroom yet. See Attendance.
