KidCheck Secure Children's CheckIn Year End Review

A year seems like a long time, but it really isn’t. One of the best things about starting a new year is being able to look back on the past year to appreciate the accomplishments, learn from the challenges, and chart the course for the future.

The 2016 year-in-review allows us to provide a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes activity for a successful and satisfying year. We built new product offerings with features, based on the needs and wants of our customers. Listening to and learning from those using KidCheck is of the utmost importance to us.

 

As shared by KidCheck CEO, Alex Smith, these are foundational principles that drive KidCheck to be better year after year.

  • Every child deserves a chance to grow up in a safe environment.
  • Every parent deserves peace of mind about the safety of their children.
  • The first step in reaching a parent is by protecting their children.
  • Technology shouldn’t be intimidating or complex, but make your life simpler.

We understand technology can be overwhelming, and your job is complex, and always changing. Coupled with the fact that child safety and security is an ongoing battle, it’s a lot to manage. KidCheck is here to help, and committed to serving child-centered organizations, who want to use technology, not only for efficiency, but to better connect with parents and keep kids safe.
