Secure children’s check-in is about more than just attendance tracking. KidCheck delivers a full-featured, easy-to-use, and scalable check-in solution, helping you strengthen child safety, increase data accessibility, connect with families, and streamline your check-in/out process. Child Safety Child safety is vital and certain tracking and safety measures are necessary. You must have accurate records of children checking in and out, know who is picking up, verify they are authorized to do so, and be aware of allergy or medical concerns. Safety is the foundation upon which KidCheck is built. Children’s check-in also helps reduce liability providing a layer of protection for volunteers/staff. Security Labels include matching security codes and unique watermark images printed on child badges and guardian receipts, and important allergy and medical warnings.

I’ve scanned it here for you to read, reflect and reuse as you see fit. The words may be dated but the message is timeless. I think this is a message that needs to be shared today loudly and clearly. The CALL of Children’s Ministry needs to be elevated to the high calling that it is. Here is the overview: The one who is called to children’s ministry will believe that children are important in themselves.
