Step 2 of 29 · Your first day
The dashboard
The dashboard shows what needs you now: the four figures, Needs you, the readiness score, recent activity and the staff still in progress.
Watch out: "Remind everyone overdue (n)" emails each person once, and not again within 20 hours.
More about this
The readiness score is the share of requirements met, computed from the records in KeepCount. It is a measure of your records, not a Ministry verdict: the program adviser decides compliance.
Everything overdue, missing or due soon, by urgency, each line naming the person or record and the date. Fixing the record updates the status; nothing here is ticked by hand.
The four figures are today's: rooms in ratio at the last count, children signed in now, due or late now, incidents open. Messages from staff and from families wait at the top until you read them. "Remind everyone overdue (n)" sends one reminder email to each person with something overdue, and not again within 20 hours. "Recent activity" is the last five records; "Staff in progress" the people still working through their policies, quizzes and training, with their next due date.
Your centre's words for people and its policies may differ; the screens are the same. The screen is from KeepCount 0.99.162, captured October 29, 2026 in a demonstration organization: everyone in it is fictional. Section numbers are O. Reg. 137/15 (General) under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, read on e-Laws on October 20, 2026. This explains how KeepCount works; it is not legal advice, and the Ministry's program advisors decide compliance.
