Only the right adults, every time
Ottica AI confirms that only authorised parents, guardians and staff can collect a child. Children are never enrolled or recorded — the system verifies approved adults only, entirely on-site.
Pick-up is the moment that matters most
Few responsibilities weigh more heavily on a childcare service than ensuring every child leaves with the right adult. Busy drop-off and pick-up windows, casual staff and unfamiliar faces make manual verification stressful and fallible. A signature on a sheet does not confirm identity, and the cost of getting it wrong is unthinkable.
Manual checks are fallible
Sign-out sheets and verbal confirmation cannot reliably verify that the person collecting a child is genuinely authorised.
Peak periods create pressure
During the busiest moments, staff are stretched precisely when accurate verification matters most.
Trust must be absolute
Families need complete confidence that their child will only ever be released to an approved adult.
Protection built on consent, not surveillance
Ottica is designed for the unique ethical sensitivity of a childcare setting.
Children are never enrolled
The system only ever enrols and recognises authorised adults — parents, guardians and staff. Children are not enrolled, identified or recorded in any way.
Confirm authorised collection
Verify that the adult collecting a child is on that child's approved list before they are released, removing doubt at the door.
Custom access permissions
Set precise, per-child permissions for who is authorised to drop off and collect, and update them instantly as family arrangements change.
Efficient drop-off and pick-up
Recognise approved adults as they arrive to keep busy periods calm, orderly and quick without sacrificing rigour.
On-premise processing
All matching of authorised adults happens on a local server within the centre. No biometric data is sent to the cloud.
Privacy-first and isolated
Adult records are isolated per centre, never shared between sites and automatically deleted after a configurable retention period.

Questions, answered.
No. This is fundamental to how Ottica is built for childcare: children are never enrolled, identified or recorded. The system only ever recognises authorised adults — parents, guardians and staff — to confirm a child is collected by an approved person.
Only authorised adults are enrolled, with their consent. Families nominate who may collect each child, and those adults choose to enrol — there is no enrolment of anyone who has not agreed.
Entirely on-premise, on a local server within the centre. No data is sent to the cloud, records are isolated per centre and never shared between sites, and they are automatically deleted after your configured retention period.
Immediately. If a family's collection arrangements change, the approved-adult list can be updated on the spot so the right permissions apply straight away.
