Sleep Checks
Overview
In many states, child care providers are required to check on sleeping children every 15 minutes and keep a record of those observations. The Rayz Kidz Sleep Checks feature makes this process easy by allowing you to log each check electronically, access the full record at any time, and receive automated reminders every 15 minutes to help you stay on track.

Tap the menu icon in the top left corner.
Select Program Tools โ Sleep Checks.
Tap Add Check.
Choose the child or children who are going down for rest.
Select the start date and timeโthis is when sleep begins and the 15-minute timer will start.
Toggle โSend reminder each 15 minutesโ if youโd like to receive a pop-up notification.
Tap Save to begin tracking.
