PME Help Center

Dear PME parents,

Welcome to the PME Eltern app. To help you familiarise yourself with the app quickly and easily, you will find an overview and explanation of all functions here in the help centre. However, should you have any problems using the app, please do not hesitate to contact the management of your PME institution. We hope you enjoy using the app.

Your PME Team

Functionality

Check-in/Check-out at the site

All our sites work with self-check-in for children and parents:

You can support us significantly if you check your child in at the daycare center after dropping off your child in the morning.

Please ask our team in which area of the facility or the outdoor area the check-in can take place.

For this purpose, beacons are either placed in our facilities as signal transmitters that send signals at fixed time intervals or the function uses the GPS signal of your smartphone.

In both cases, the app sends you a check-in notification for your child so that you can check them in and out (with your child) yourself.

This gives you a good overview of your actual check-in times and the booked childcare times and allows our pedagogical staff to communicate with you intensively in door-to-door conversations.

Information on the duty of supervision during check-in/out:

The mobile check-in may take place shortly before/after you enter the group room with your child and hand over the duty of supervision to our educational staff in door-to-door discussions.

The mobile check-out may only take place when you sign your child out with our pedagogical staff in the pick-up situation and supervise them yourself within the facility.

You are responsible for supervision during drop-off and pick-up times when you are at the facility (e.g. checkroom area, outdoor area, daycare center events).

Please note and ask us at the facility how and whether the specific booking time changes must be registered with us at the facility.

Activation of the self-check-in on your smartphone:

Menu – Settings (cogwheel) – “Check-in notification” – Activate “Permission”

Tip:
Select: location “Always” and switch on background update and mobile data. (To receive direct notifications)

Select: Location “When using the app” you can check in your child when they open the app themselves. However, the checkmark in the “Permission” field remains grayed out.

Further information: The movement data is not saved by Nemborn and is only necessary to be able to use the check-in function successfully.
