When you set up your personal account, KidCheck will automatically walk you through the preferences section where you can set your password, manage your username, enable or disable SMS Text Messaging, choose notification settings, set time zones, and cancel your account.
Change your Password
To change your password simply type in your new password and confirm it in the second field and select “save changes” at the top of the section. Passwords are case sensitive and must be at least six characters long.
Change your Username
Every parent or administrator account must have a unique username to login. To change your username, enter in your new username and select “save changes”.
SMS Text Messaging
Use this section to enable or disable SMS text messaging in your account. If it is disabled, your childcare provider will not be able to use text messaging directly from KidCheck as means of contacting you in the event of an emergency. However they will have access to any information you provide with your account and may reach you through those means. If you enable SMS text messaging, KidCheck will prompt you to enter in your cell phone carrier. KidCheck only allows SMS text messaging for those with US carriers. If you do not find your carrier in our list, please inform us at
support@kidcheck.com and we will work to add them.
SMS Text Notifications
KidCheck has the ability to automatically notify a parent or primary guardian when a child has been checked in or out of a childcare facility. This feature is especially helpful for parents who have others drop off or pick up their kids on the parents behalf. Use this section to set your preferences for automatic SMS text notifications.
Setting Time Zones
KidCheck keeps a record of check-in and check-out times. Set your proper time zone to ensure that time stamps are correct on your reporting.
Cancelling your Account
You may cancel your account at any time by simply selecting “Cancel My Account”. Once an account is cancelled you will not be able to reinstate or restore it. If you wish to join again after cancelling your account you must create a new account with a different username.
