BOISE, ID KidCheck ™, Inc. www.kidcheck.com has partnered with Group Publishing®, Inc., www.group.com, to be their exclusive marketing partner to churches in the in the US and Canada.  KidCheck publicly launched its web-based children’s check-in security service October 1, 2008 and distinguishes itself by offering parents and childcare organizations a collaborative solution to making sure kids remain in safe hands.

KidCheck has been strategically designed to fundamentally change the way parents and children’s ministry leaders cooperate and communicate who is authorized to pick up their children.  Alex Smith, Chief Developer and CEO of KidCheck, says “It’s a win-win for everyone…churches can use the system to manage check-in and check-out, track attendance, and ensure that kids are kept in good hands.  Parents feel secure because they create the free account online and can easily update their child’s information including medical, allergy, or special needs.  The system also allows parents to upload photos, and even create guardian lists of who can and cannot pick up their kids…all of which gets communicated in real time when they check their kids into Sunday School.”

Additional features such as built-in SMS text messaging, full reporting engines, and the fact that once parents create an account they can use it anywhere they see the KidCheck logo, set it apart from any other products that are out there.  “There’s really nothing out there like it”, says Phil Hines, Director of Sales for KidCheck.  “This product is very secure, easy to use, exceptionally flexible, and affordable.  We expect it to quickly become the standard not only in churches, but in any environment where children’s security is a concern.”

“A partnership with KidCheck is a natural fit for us,” says Dave Thornton, Executive Director of Group’s Church Leadership division. “We always want to help children’s pastors and leaders make their churches safer on Sunday – and every day of the week! The ‘safe-child’ service that KidCheck provides is invaluable in a ministry setting, and so we’re proud to be able share it with church leaders everywhere.”
