Updating A Guardian Account on Their Behalf

While the guardians should keep their accounts up-to-date, there may be times you are aware of changes that are needed to the account and it’s easier for you to make the update.  If a guardian has given you permission, you do have the ability to make changes and updates to their and their children’s information.   When the guardian sets up their login account they choose whether or not to allow organizations to make adjustments on their behalf.  They have the ability to override any changes you…See More

Check-in By Phone Number

We’re often asked; why is check-in done by the family’s phone number, why not their last name or some other identifier?  The 10 digit phone number is the most unique account identifier and therefore the fastest and easiest for check-in. Keep in mind that KidCheck is a global, web-based solution so all KidCheck parent/guardian accounts are in the system, not just your particular members.  Therefore a common last name like Smith could pull up a very large volume of “Smith’s” for a guardian to…See More

Don’t Forget to Clean Your Label Printer

A clean label printer is a happy label printer.  Well, maybe we can’t speak to its actual happiness, but periodically cleaning your printer will ensure it stays in tip-top shape and reliable working order.  And that helps keep you happy!  We suggest you clean the printer at least monthly.  If the printer jams, clean it immediately!  As the labels can’t be in the printer when you clean it, perform the cleaning when you change the roll. It’s a quick and easy process.  KidCheck has cleaning pads…See More

Child Self Check-in and Check-out

Looking for a self-check in option more appropriate for older, more responsible children – something that lets them feel more “grown-up” and provides parents an opportunity to give them more responsibility?  Or do you need a self-check in option to better fit your facility’s unique process to streamline check-in?  While still allowing you to quickly and easily track attendance, KidCheck’s self check-in feature allows the child to have some more control, or provides you with an alternate…See More

Visitor Check-In
