Deleting a Family From KidCheck

We get asked this question pretty frequently. “I have a family that doesn’t bring their kids here any longer, how do I remove them from KidCheck?” The simple answer is “you don’t.”

Remember that KidCheck is a legal record of who was in your care at what times and when, so for legal purposes, you don’t ever want to remove anyone from the system, and we purposely designed it as such.

But… To make administration easier you’ll notice that KidCheck puts date ranges on almost everything in the entire system. From the folks in the people module, check-in logs, reports, etc, they all have default date ranges to help filter out old data that you may not want to see any longer. So what naturally happens over time is that the person that no longer brings their kids to your facility any longer will naturally fall off all of the reports, people tab, etc without you having to do anything.

So the long answer is that you don’t need to remove folks from your KidCheck account cause they will remove themselves automatically while still retaining the check-in information history so you can always refer back to their check-ins from the past.
