Your school may use an app to run dismissal. It lets the school see you’re close, keeps the car line moving and checks who’s allowed to take your child. That’s a real job, and it’s the school’s.

It stops at the gate, though. It won’t tell you which of your people is going today, and it doesn’t follow your kids to swim, hockey or a friend’s house.

  • No location, ever

    Kid Pickup never asks for your location. Saved places are just addresses you type.

  • Every place, not one school

    School, the rink, the studio, Grandma’s. Anywhere you add.

  • Your people, not the school’s list

    Partners, grandparents, sitters and neighbors you invite.

  • Use both

    The school’s app at the gate. Kid Pickup for who’s driving.
