Customer Feedback – KidCheck Children’s Check-In

We’re a smaller church checking in maybe 30 children on a given Sunday. Initially it was slow before parents had their accounts set up. I wish there was just one single page to type in name, email, and children for first-time guests. Once our parents had their accounts set up, check-in became a breeze! We were supplied enough key tags so everyone could have their own. They simply swipe their tag in front of the scanner and that’s about it. One parent had a problem with information being available on the Internet, but it’s not so much a Kidcheck issue but rather their fears of online usage overall. Kidcheck doesn’t have much more info in their databases than a phonebook. We committed to 3 years of Kidcheck and have been pleased with our launch!

I think the concept is great! I’m sure for parents of younger children it’s easy to use and provides peace of mind. I have two teenagers, and it would be better for ME if they could check themselves in and out. It would still provide peace of mind as I’d know when they got there and when they leave without having to leave MY prior commitments to go check them in and out. With just a touch of tweaking for teens, it would be terrific all around!

I really like the KidCheck program! It has been a great check in system for our church. As a Children’s Director and as a parent, I have seen so many benefits to having this system in place. The parents feel more involved with the program and that is always a plus.

We have enjoyed using Kidcheck for our VBS, and we are just starting to roll it out for all of our children’s programs! The only hard part is the reliability of the printers. They seem to getr easily overwhelmed. Other than that, I love the web based program. It’s easy to use and very intuitive!

A little difficult to make revisions on – but great once all set up.

Our church has about 100 children every Sunday and we were needing an upgrade to our security. After a lot of research, KidCheck was our best solution. Not only are we able to provide a safer place for our children, but we continue to find more and more perks to using the system – like a time-stamped check-in and check-out for our paid childcare workers, reports of first time visitors, and historical reports of how much our volunteers have worked. And of course that is just the beginning. There is so much more to the system that we have not even tapped into. We love it!

We just used our Paul and the Underground Church as the initiator for KidCheck. Everything went pretty well. It was great to use the Event Registration to flow people through getting set up and used to checking in and out. Be aware that if do this that the quick account set up for Event Registration does not ask for a phone number so that parents will have to go to their account and assign their phone number or their account will not show up when they come to check-in. The staff has been great in helping us get set up and rolling! Our experience has been awesome and we are looking forward to enjoying the longevity of maintained records and enhanced safety of our kids!

Great system. Thank you!
