Step 8 of 17 · Your first day
Absences
The days you said your child will not come, each with "Cancel this absence"; "Report an absence" for another day.
Watch out: Today's report, once made, is the centre's to change; a day still to come can be changed or cancelled by any family member.
More about this
The centre's safe arrival policy sets out the steps staff take when a child does not arrive as expected (O. Reg. 137/15, s. 50(b)(i)); the steps are the centre's own. Saying here that your child will not come answers that question for the day, as a phone call does. A day still to come can be changed or cancelled by any family member of the child; today's report, once made, is the centre's to change. The centre's own absence records appear in the list without their reasons.
Your child's centre or agency may use other words for people and its own policies; the screens are the same. The screen is from KeepCount 0.99.171, captured October 30, 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.
