Student Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This is a MUST for every church" July 24, 2018 5.0 Security for our children, peace of mind for our parents, great management tool for our staff. The benefits are incredible! Pros KidCheck provides a safe, simple way of checking children in and out of your children's ministry during your worship services. It provides peace of mind to parents by giving them a secure way of dropping off their children during the service. By providing a security receipt for pickup, this ensures some random person couldn't pick up your child. Your church needs this. Also, it has a mobile device application so that we could set up multiple iPads on Sunday morning running this software. This speeds up the check in process and makes it a pleasant experience for our members. Cons The only thing I can think of that I don't like about KidCheck is that it doesn't integrate with our current Church Management Software, but that is probably more of a strike against ACS than KidCheck. Review Source Response from KidCheck July 25, 2018 Thank you for your review Phil, we appreciate your comments! Glad to hear KidCheck is meeting and exceeding your expectations providing secure check-in to the children, peace-of-mind to parents and ease of use to you. Also, we'd love to integrate with your management system if it ever becomes a possibility for them.

There customer service has been helpful if something comes up especially on a weekend when we tend to use the product the most! Parents and kids are very happy with the technology! Pros Kidcheck provides kids the right security they need. It's easy for both the parents and the kids to use! Cons It's easy for both the parents and the volunteers to use. Great customer service that is available even on weekends where we use the product the most! Review Source Response from KidCheck August 14, 2025 Thank you for the great review and being a long time KidCheck customer.

Supervisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Kid Check" December 29, 2018 3.0 Pros This program is easy to check children in and out of. Cons Its hard to find the children's information. Review Source Response from KidCheck January 2, 2019 Thank you for taking the time to review KidCheck Melisa. We are available to help with free training and support anytime you need it, if you would like additional help with finding child information. We have the admin console and admin console app which you may find helpful, in addition to the check-in station. LA Linda A. Child Lead Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Peace of mind at an affordable cost!" October 15, 2025 5.0 We use it for church management, and it really makes everything a lot more streamlined. No need for paper check ins or lack of documentation when it comes to children being checked in or not. Also, the software is fairly affordable for the quality of the program. Pros I really enjoy the ease of use not only for staff, but for the parents. It's also really nice to hear feedback from parents on how much they enjoy the smooth process of utilizing the software. Cons Sometimes it will lag or glitch which is very frustrating. However, it is very easy to call customer service, and they help super-fast! Review Source Response from KidCheck October 16, 2025 Thank you for the positive comments Linda. So glad to hear staff and parents all like the ease of use and security of check-in. If lagging does sometimes happen, it's usually associated with the internet at the users facility, but as you noted customer service is always ready and available to help if needed. BK Bridgette K. owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome software" October 30, 2025 5.0 Pros KidCheck is a great software! The software offers a great bang for your buck and an awesome value for your money! Customer support and ease of use are top notch. My favorite feature of the software is donation management. I even recommended the software to my check for fundraisers and such. It has been a big help for raising much for our church. Cons Currently, I did not face any drawbacks with the software. Each person I have recommended it to also states it is a good software to have. Review Source Response from KidCheck November 3, 2025 Thanks for the great review. So glad you find KidCheck to be a great value and appreciate its ease of use and top notch customer support. RB Ritu B. Computer Facilitator Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Provided us with accurate information on class capacities" April 21, 2025 4.0 Pros I found it useful to have the facilities automatically generate rosters and the way the KidCheck software tracks attendance for multiple sessions. It can help us identify trends such as frequent truancy or moving between different age groups, in addition it saves us time. Cons In the equipment checkout tracking feature, there is no alert when items are not returned. I had to monitor supplies after each session which disrupts continuity after class and make extra work for volunteers. Review Source Response from KidCheck April 22, 2025 We're glad KidCheck has helped you track attendance and save time. As the software does not have a built in equipment checkout tracking feature, it sounds like you may be trying to use a different element within the system to meet that need. Give our support team a call at 855-543-2432 and we'd be happy to discuss what you've set up and see if we can help you with that.

September 25, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been wonderful! I have not had any problems with the app and I would absolutely recommend it to others. Pros The security features are outstanding! The app makes communication super easy and you can set up an account for free! And I love that I get notifications for every check in and check out. Cons I had a little bit of a hard time getting labels to print, however, I believe it may have been a printer issue. Review Source Response from KidCheck September 26, 2025 Thank you for the glowing review. KidCheck's foundation is built on security and ease of use. For the label printing, we have a mobile printing option that differentiates us from others, reach out and we can share more and help you troubleshoot or get set up. We appreciate the recommendation. mL melissa L. Admin Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great product" September 1, 2025 5.0 Excellent and highly recommend. Every parent should have access to a program like this one. Put your mind at ease Pros That i can know where my child is at any time, i can prevent predators or get lost. They can check in whenever i need them to. Cons The price, i wish it was more affordable, alot of parents cant afford this and really every parent should have access. Review Source Response from KidCheck September 2, 2025 KidCheck is based on child security for organizations caring for children. There is no cost for parents to use KidCheck. It is the organization that implements and offers KidCheck to provide easy, fast, secure children's check-in for when kids are in their care. AL Ayobami L. Child care and support Child Day Care Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "KidCheck Review" July 21, 2025 5.0 Glad a product like this existed that connects well with printing devices for seamless check ins for events and much more Pros Easy sign up and registration with phone number. Can work for multiple accounts easily as well. Interface also great. Cons Not so much of a regular user, can't tell a major or anything love least, it comes through for its use whenever it's needed Review Source Response from KidCheck July 22, 2025 Thank you for the review. Glad you find KidCheck easy to use and reliable for checking kids in securely. Kristin D. Course Designer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Clunky setup, good idea overall" February 11, 2019 4.0 I feel like there is room for improvement, but the overall concept is good and I think it can be improved upon fairly easily. To my experience, it was more cumbersome than it should have been. Pros Having children is complicated enough and the idea of being able to see if they were picked up and safely at after-school care was an awesome idea. Once properly setup, I felt the app was functional enough for this purpose. Cons The setup was clunky. I professionally teach classes and write help materials for very weird software, so I am pretty good at figuring out how apps should work. Between the online steps required and the separate app, it took multiple steps from multiple people to get everything functioning right. Now, I'm a parent here, and did not use the full setup for my business, but I did get to make some observations on how that side works as well. Mainly because I got notification that my child was signed out when she most certainly was not. Turns out a parent accidentally entered the wrong mode and was able to batch check all the kids out. Based on my experience with the school, some operator error was probably involved, but I think this event speaks to how everything, on the app side and the computer side, seemed like it should be much more simple to do correctly than it was. Review Source Response from KidCheck February 12, 2019 Appreciate your thoughts Kristin. Making easy-to-use children's check-in software is our goal so we take very seriously your words about setup. Every organization is offered free in depth training and support, to be sure they are fully up and running properly to get the most value, and so it makes for a simple and easy process for parents using it. While it sounds like user error occurred, we'll continue to look at ways to be sure KidCheck is easy for parents and organizations to use. AM Andrea M. Children’s Ministry Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very satisfied customer " July 15, 2021 5.0 I like the safety aspect as a teacher . I never have to worry about giving a child to the wrong person. I can verify through the child’s profile who each pick up person is . If I need to get in touch with parents I can conveniently do so through the app. Pros This is a great piece of software to help parents and teachers manage check ins . As a parent you can check your child in on your phone . As a teacher using this , there is an added feature of seeing pictures for those who pick up. Cons There is nothing I didn’t like with this . It’s easy, convenient and safe !! Very happy with this product Review Source Response from KidCheck July 16, 2021 Thank you Andrea! We are so happy you love KidCheck. Helping to improve child safety is our goal and sounds like you are seeing and using that benefit. ES Elena S. German Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great way to register" March 17, 2019 5.0 Overall I am pretty happy with KidCheck, and do not have any problems with it at all. We use it when we register for kids events at church. Pros I really like that it helps to monitor registration and keep church accountable. It has a necessary info about your kid and allergies. Cons Hard to say. I remember it was confusing when I registered the first time. I was not sure where to click first and how to add another child. Review Source Response from KidCheck March 28, 2019 Thanks for taking the time to provide comments Elena. Glad to hear that KidCheck is performing well for you and provides you with the necessary information to check kids in and keep them safe. We continue to make improvements on all aspects, including registration to make KidCheck easy-to-use and reliable. DS Deborah S. Administrative Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Super user friendly " December 12, 2019 5.0 I think it’s a great safety program for a large church to use when you are checking which parent you are handing a child to and avoiding a miscommunication on allergy or guardian Pros The ease of check in and adding information to an existing account Cons One feature that takes a bit of understanding is the selection of the department you are checking into. Review Source Response from KidCheck December 17, 2019 Thanks for the review and input. Glad to hear you find KidCheck easy to use and it helps improve child safety. Remember, support and training are always free,so we're here and ready to help if you have any questions, even on Sundays. MP Megan P. Office Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Helps keep your children safe!" February 5, 2019 5.0 Pros KidCheck is PERFECT for giving a parent that extra sense of security when dropping your children off somewhere. You know who is checking your child out and don't have to worry about them going with the wrong person! Cons I have zero complaints here! KidCheck helped put my mind at ease! Review Source Response from KidCheck February 6, 2019 Thanks Megan for the review. So glad to hear you are happy with KidCheck and finding our secure children's check-in improves child safety and peace-of-mind! That's why we build in so many security features, to help keep kids safe. HJ Hassene J. IT Support Specialist Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Improves our security and optimizes check-ins" April 15, 2025 4.0 Pros KidCheck was efficiently designed and also it is simple in design while at the same time being so secure. This is a giant improvement on the check-in system, one which can’t be checked in or out by individuals without the authority to do so where children are concerned. Cons The roster check-in primary activity is known to be slow especially when many children are being checked in at a given interval of time. In such scenarios, it would help if the system is capable of handling multiple check-ins at the same moment. Review Source Response from KidCheck April 16, 2025 Glad to hear KidCheck has improved your children's check-in process. We've designed it to be easy-to-use and put child safety and security at the forefront. We'll take a look at roster check-in to make sure it is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. DT Dakota T. Director of Family Life Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "we love kid check! " January 23, 2025 5.0 It is so easy to use for all ages, it is so helpful with our church Pros To check in children Sunday morning for church Cons nothing we rely on this system every week ! It is so easy to use Review Source Response from KidCheck January 24, 2025 Thank you! We are so glad KidCheck is a helpful and useful tool for your church! Ease-of-use and reliability are priorities for KidCheck. SS Sarah S. NA Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I like it!" April 22, 2025 5.0 It has been great! I like that we can use it and get texts as backup for checking our kid in. Pros It is great! Feels secure and so easy even grandma can use it. Cons No issues, great password recovery and login is easy. I can even check in multiple children under one account. Review Source Response from KidCheck April 23, 2025 Thank you for the great review. KidCheck is built with security and ease-of-use in mind. ZO Zavier O. Children's Minister Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Secure Church Registration/Check-in/Directory" November 20, 2018 5.0 Our church was in need of a serious update to our overall security and attendance tracking. We had one volunteer who had to manually enter child information as they arrived to print off a nametag. We had minimal ways to attendance track and see attendance trends or issues. When we finally switched to KidCheck, it was a bit of a hurdle getting the entire church on board, but when they saw how easy it is to self check-in and update their information so we can stay in touch, they quickly approved of the change. Our community has also lined up with the additional security measures we've taken with kidCheck and its features that allow us to indicate custody issues and adults not allowed near a child have actually saved us a time or two. Vacation Bible School is the biggest event we do all year and since switching to KidCheck, we've been able to post a pre-registration link to start building estimated attendance numbers and help with planning. Now that we have a running directory of addresses and names, we can also easily print off mailing labels and send out postcards for birthdays, special occasions​, and make visits. The initial setup issues are worth the long run with this software and the additional peace of mind of the families that will come to trust you. Not to mention background check integration with ProtectMyMinistry to make sure all volunteers are approved and cleared for working with kids. I love KidCheck. Pros SUPER EASY TO USE! Self check-in stations make family check-ins a breeze Administrator roles and privileges protect private information and notes about families specifically for those who need to know Event Registration made easy with pre-registration options and room assignments All important information about a child including allergies, guardian pick-ups/custody issues, birthdates, and their checked-in location clearly visible on nametags Lots of customization options for check-in stations Express check-in options available by bluetooth Custom attendance reports and mailing labels are easy to contruct and export to Excel, Word, PDF, or wherever else Cons Directory of families is not the easiest to access. You've got to dig around for family information sometimes. New family registration can be confusing at times. New update to the check-in software makes capturing some new-member information easy to miss. Review Source Response from KidCheck November 22, 2018 Thank you Zavier for your thoughts on KidCheck. We are so glad to hear we are of good service to you and Elkton Baptist. We also appreciate the comments on where we can improve, we consistently look for input to be the best we can be. Remember we are here and available with free training and support, including on Sundays, should you ever need us. AJ Adam J. Business Solutions Manager Building Materials Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great check-in software for Churches!" October 16, 2023 5.0 As our core check-in software for kids and youth ministry, this software really does the job well week in and week out! Pros One of my favorite features is the ability to 'pre-check' and submit check-in through the mobile app. Week after week it works seamlessly and connects right through to the printers attached to the check-in stations. This is a huge time-saver and really helps keep the queue at a manageable length. Cons User setup can be a bit finnicky - especially when trying to link parents' accounts or set up an account for mobile check-in and link it an existing profile. But a minor issue for an otherwise great product. Review Source Response from KidCheck October 17, 2023 Thank you for the review Adam. We are happy to hear Express Check-in, our mobile check-in solution, is saving you time and making the process easier. If you ever need help or have questions, we are here, available, and happy to assist, even on Sunday mornings. Thank you for choosing KidCheck as your children's check-in solution to keep kids safe. EM Emma M. Receptionist Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Really Like KidCheck" January 28, 2020 5.0 Overall I feel like the church's nursery has benefited from this product. It has added a level of security to our nursery and also gives nursery workers insight into what a child might need health-wise like food and other allergies. Pros I really like the safety aspect it brings to the church nursery. That everyone has their own personal identification tag for each child. As a nursery worker, it helps ensure safety. It also puts a child's allergies and other issues on the tag so you know what to expect. Cons Sometimes the program goes down. I'm not sure why, but sometimes we don't have good connection and my church has days that it cannot use the software. Review Source Response from KidCheck January 29, 2020 Thanks for taking the time to comment about KidCheck Emma. We're glad to hear it has improved safety at Berean and gives insight to your staff about the children in your care. KidCheck is web-based so it does rely on your network/internet connection. If you experience challenges there it could affect KidCheck. We're always here with live reps (including Sundays) and ready to help, so reach out with any concerns, and we can provide assistance and tips on how to ensure it's always working for you. TW Teresa W. Admin. Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "KidCheck is Good!" February 15, 2019 4.0 Our experience has been positive. The program offers a lot for our ministry. Pros It does seem fairly easy to use. Once you get your account made, check in is quite easy and fast! Cons I think the reports could be a bit easier to create. I am not the main one to create the reports, but when I have to pull one on my own, it is a bit confusing. Also, I don't like that when you are searching for people and select one person, view their record and are ready to view another one, it takes you back to the home search bar again. I would like it to take you back to the person with whom you began the search. I often am looking for names of the different children under one guardian and making this change would be helpful for me. Review Source Response from KidCheck February 19, 2019 Thank you for your input Teresa. We've made some report improvements, including to custom reports so things should be easier/more straightforward there. I'll pass your comment about searching to our development team to look into. Thanks again for choosing KidCheck for your secure children's check-in. VR Verified Reviewer Intern Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect for children's church attendance!" June 1, 2022 5.0 Sunday mornings in our nursery and Children's church areas run very smooth with KidCheck. Pros It's incredibly easy to setup. All of the parents love the self check-in stations that we utilize KidCheck with our mounted iPads. The labels print easy and it keeps Sunday morning registration moving smoothly. Cons I wish they provided a one time fee version of the software. However, the monthly price is very affordable. Review Source Response from KidCheck June 6, 2022 Thank you for the review. We're glad to hear KidCheck is working well for you and making Sunday mornings easier. One of our goals is to provide technology that makes life easier. Should you need us, live support is available even on Sunday mornings. UB Ugochi B. LPC CEO Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast check in but should be used for so much more. " November 2, 2018 4.0 My experience is based on user only and limited to Sundays Pros If you’re already running late to church with a bunch of kids, the last thing you need is to manually sign kids in - and yes, we actually visited a church in the past decade that still did that. All we do with Kidcheck is check in with our phone number and our kids names come on the screen and voila...out comes the print-out name stickers. Cons This is not a con for the company but the actual churches we’ve attended that used it. Not one of them used the sign out feature. Rather they manually collected stickers and matched it to the sticker on each child. I feel like the full potential of this is not being fully used in some places. Review Source Response from KidCheck November 8, 2018 Thanks for taking the time to share your positive thoughts on KidCheck. We are so glad to hear it makes check-in easier for you and your family! You're correct, so many safety features available in it, including options for check-out that provide additional authorized/unauthorized guardian lists and more. We'll continue to do our best to get it out there to churches and organizations caring for children and continue to give them free training and support to help them use it to its full potential. KB Kaley B. Bookkeeper Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome way to monitor kids pick up and emergency information" October 27, 2020 5.0 I recently had an out of town work trip and what was originally planned for my daughter for pick up had to be changed. I was able to reach out to her teacher and add a person to the pick up list straight for the app on my phone while I was out of town for work. Pros I was able to digitally load all of my child's information for school. Such as who can pick up/drop off, any allergies, or other notes for the teacher as well as emergency contact information. Cons I do not like that each morning at check in I receive a text from different "number" every time. I wish it was a consist contact so I could add it to my contacts in my phone. Review Source Response from KidCheck October 29, 2020 Thanks Kaley for your review! So glad KidCheck is working well for you and is helping to provide the proper safety measures for your child at school. Child safety and security is our priority. We'll look into options on the text number. Thank you again. Alexandra V. Preschool Teacher Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Always Use!" November 28, 2018 5.0 I use this software with my daughter and also with the kids I teach. Never had any issues! Great for when family members (i.e. grandparents, aunts, uncles) need to pick up. Great way to make sure they're safe and approved! Pros Peace of mind knowing that kids are getting picked up by the same person who dropped them off! Cons No issues! Always accurate when used correctly. Review Source Response from KidCheck March 18, 2019 Thanks for the review Alexandra and glad KidCheck is giving you peace-of-mind! Helping to improve safety is what we're all about. Similar Products Featured
