iCare Knowledge Base

This feature is for use by drop-in centers where childcare service may be provided on cash basis. Parents drop off their children, usually at an unscheduled time, and pay for service when they pick up the children.

The forms discussed below allow you to enter the drop off and pick up times, post the charge, and enter the payment.

The cash is handled using a cash drawer. The cash drawer transactions have an audit trail that includes the name of the cashier and the time of the transaction. This allows you to make transaction reports for the shifts of the cashiers and reconcile the shifts.
