If a parent selects no their child has not been symptom free a note could pop up that says “please see your organization’s director.”Event Registration when checking in childsug_uiua5kzbyc5p5or2026-05-24T22:20:49Z2026-06-08T14:06:41ZIs there a way to allow guardians to register their children for an upcoming event when they check them in for a regular Sunday service?email not required for youthcheck in accountsug_e0figeidftirdat2026-06-03T14:03:36Z2026-06-08T14:05:29ZI am having trouble making youth check in accounts because many students do not use an email. These are students who are not connected to a church and it is taking to long to do this simple task of trying to check in. Their first impression is not positive.Extend refresh time on generated reportssug_deudcznxbdidnpv2026-06-01T19:40:19Z2026-06-08T14:05:11ZThe website will refresh after a few minutes of inactivity. This is very difficult if I have generated a report and I am working on attendance data. The website will refresh while I am in the middle of the report and I will lose my spot where I am working.Add Additional Admin to Scheduling Notificationssug_e8agwsznw1uj3ul2026-02-25T19:57:33Z2026-05-18T15:48:43ZWe are moving toward managing all of our Kids Ministry Volunteer Scheduling through KidCheck (finally). It would be nice to be able to add additional admin to receive notifications for each of our respective Kids Ministry areas (KidCheck Coordinator receives notifications for their volunteers, Nursery Coordinator receives notifications for their volunteers, Preschool Coordinator receives notifications for their volunteers, etc). At the very least, I would love to be able to add additional admin to receive notifications to events, if not specific groups/roles. With around 100 volunteers a week in our ministry, I would like to share the load (:Schedule Reports to Generate Automatically and send to emailsug_aqrpgoi5f3os9oc2026-04-28T20:13:48Z2026-05-18T15:48:01ZAbility to schedule a report (stock or custom) to auto-generate on a specified schedule and deliver as a PDF attachment to provided email address(es).
Example: I would like my ministry leader to have an email sitting in his inbox on Monday morning summarizing Sunday's attendance without needing either he or an admin to log in and run the report manually.Upcoming Event Listsug_p2uhmwwsbofzmgh2026-03-03T14:48:53Z2026-03-16T14:42:41ZShow a list of upcoming events on the Volunteer Scheduling home screen, to make it easier to find an event instead of having to scroll month to month.Allow editing of names and phone numbers through the admin consolesug_yy7mq7rmawruylu2026-03-08T15:35:33Z2026-03-16T14:42:04ZSome children/adults names or phone numbers may have been entered incorrectly. I would like the ability to edit this through my account.Add Uganda on the Country list pleasesug_tonz0j70xymzhfn2026-03-13T18:28:34Z2026-03-16T19:31:19ZWe are using KidCheck in Uganda, but it is not one of the countries listed in the country list.Automatically return KidCheck assigned pagerssug_alglmayt2g3rzu72025-12-23T23:21:29Z2026-06-08T18:32:21ZWould it be possible to make a way for automatically assigned pagers to be checked in when a child is checked out of the nursery? A lot of parents miss the option to check a pager back in, and I have to manually go on and mark each pager returned.Add and Lock Location as an Admin in the Family's KidCheck accountsug_0kpsrcbkdwpzw8k2025-10-16T02:30:46Z2026-02-09T15:13:29ZIt would be great to be able to lock in a child into a location or locations without waiting for parents to choose the correct location. Often parents choose the wrong location, and this would enable us to easily change and lock it without have to check them in again in order to lock the location.Change clock system to decimal systemsug_hm2yrplfcga14kb2026-01-27T20:36:40Z2026-02-09T15:12:12ZRather than your clock out time showing 2:45:00, it would show 2.75"Youth" Workerssug_zgajzhkytxu5zm22026-02-03T20:34:37Z2026-02-09T15:11:38ZIn KidCheck (not YouthCheck), I'd love to see those under the age of 18 be labeled "Youth Workers". This would add a safety layer to anyone scheduling to 1. KNOW they're underage and 2. be able to schedule according to church policy (ex: 2 adults must be scheduled/confirmed before a youth can be scheduled/confirmed to help in an area).
I'd also like to see youth be able to check in using their own cell phone # if they have one - per their parent/guardian's permission.Schedule request/assignsug_yyoasmlmhjxyrr52026-02-06T03:25:46Z2026-02-09T15:10:02ZI need Emails or texts to go out to all my workers when I create an event, or when I request they fill a role, or when I schedule them for a role, not just a push notification.add Volunteer worker for adult sections onlysug_lo511edokdwhllc2025-11-06T00:26:33Z2025-11-10T15:09:53ZWe would love to use the scheduling for the entire church but areas like Coffee Shop and greeter do not require background checks. I would like an option to make them adult volunteer. This would be in the section where you currently have volunteer or employee.scheduling volunteerssug_70dwrzn5q5z8iip2025-11-05T19:30:12Z2025-11-10T15:08:53Zwhen scheduling volunteers, and want to set a recurrency, it doesn't allow me to recurred to the Sundays that i choice. for instances i need every 2nd sundays the same people to be scheduled. what it does it s that it schedule them but for the same previous date and it carries it to the following month. like if i needed Nov 9th to be schedule which its 2nd sunday, the next month it will fall on a tuesday Nov. 9th instead of staying on second sunday of Dec. not the date. so i need help with this part. figuring out how i can make it a recurrency, but following the days not the dates.Time zone choices & facility time zones?sug_suzmlqjhqsvqrme2025-10-09T22:44:06Z2025-10-14T14:42:46Zseems time zones don't quite work?Express check in notificationssug_oxmojjznupiijnn2025-09-24T14:23:12Z2025-11-10T15:10:42ZIs there away to trigger a notification BEFORE the parent submits the the check in? On the express check, currently all notifications are displayed AFTER the parent submits.CivicPlus Integrationsug_hb5frzwjc6v4pwr2025-09-10T20:03:00Z2025-10-14T14:43:36ZIntegrate CivicPlus with KidCheck to ensure children who are being checked in we're registered.Report Notificationsug_gb9fuwbetxavu7b2025-09-10T19:49:24Z2025-09-15T14:06:13ZA feature that notifies staff and parents when there is a report that needs to be given at check-out. For example, when a child scrapes their knee and staff needs to give first aid, they have to fill out an “ouch report” to give to the parents. However, reports are often missed because there isn’t a reminder when staff is doing a check-out.
Ideally, when a parent gives us their phone number, a notification would pop up on the screen that says “Joe has a report,” the staff would confirm the report, share with parent, and then complete the check-out.Inbox for the admin consolesug_ash5fbgnayjiag32025-09-05T21:52:59Z2025-09-08T15:23:46ZWe would like to see the option for parents to message the admin console when needed. That way a worker could send a message to the parents through the app, and the parent could respond with what they would like the worker to do for their child.Automatically print two guardian receipts without having to go into optionssug_h6aup55gixzmwsx2025-08-17T15:10:15Z2025-08-18T16:10:58ZOption to disable/remove event recommendations from the app home pagesug_sqn7k2fvpajosxn2025-08-14T19:59:02Z2025-08-18T16:11:19ZWe'd like to request an option to disable/remove "event recommendations" (see photo) for our volunteers as the not-so-techy folks get confused by it and they keep requesting shifts when they're not supposed to.Require 10-digit phone number to be added when creating a new accountsug_hwjowcllma9dizr2025-07-31T20:35:28Z2025-08-05T14:45:34ZWhen creating an account, the full 10-digit phone number should be required and should not proceed until fully entered. Right now, you can proceed without the full phone number, which causes issues when trying to check in at their next visit using their phone number on an iPad.Attendance integrationsug_pl8fbzwdabo2nlr2025-07-29T14:28:23Z2025-08-18T16:11:31ZGood morning,
I am the admin with Renovation Church researching for our administrator, Mark Loeber. We would like to be able to take the attendance from KidCheck and integrate it into Planning Center. Right now there isn't a way for that to happen. I would love this feature so we could help consolidate data.
Thank you
Luanne HaggardPrimary Guardian Changesug_p1ydaxwi61akptb2025-07-28T15:45:50Z2025-08-18T16:11:44ZPlease consider an easier alternative to updating a primary guardian than "the other guardian would simply need to recreate the child accounts under their own guardian profile." A primary guardian recently passed away and other parent is listed as Authorized. Whether it needs to be done by the other parent or an Admin, this should be an easy click-of-a-button change. We also potentially needed this option within the last 6 months due to a legal family issue.Kid Photo Permission Reportsug_qyj8eafislxdksg2025-07-14T16:01:38Z2026-06-08T18:25:54ZRun a report to see what parents do not authorize their child pics to be takenReport Option for Check-In Badge Notessug_vxk3oxumymvwyrc2025-07-06T16:04:48Z2025-07-07T14:31:08ZWanting an option for nursery workers to print a report of all notes marked by parents upon check-in to allow for easy viewability for workers who do not have admin access to see requested feeding/sleeping times for children.Guest Companionsug_ml6tmcskmgtsjza2025-07-04T17:42:57Z2025-07-07T14:30:41ZAt Check-in to have a Guardian/Youth/Child be able to check-in as a companion to accompany a child into a location and remain with the child. This would be helpful for children with special needs, first time reluctant visitors, children who are having separation issues, etc....Make font largersug_1mco28ensazmnuy2025-06-15T13:02:49Z2025-07-07T14:29:59ZWhen you enter a new account, the information window for entering in a new child is extremely small. Is there a way you can make that box larger?Location Change Notificationsug_gjoghml8hfqmvp52025-06-11T21:36:34Z2025-07-07T14:30:18ZProvide a notification option within the guardian account settings to enable "location change notifications", so if an organization changes a child's location, the guardian can receive a text or push notification of the location update. Example, Bobby was checked into the "morning crafts" location, and then was moved to the "lunch" location. With this new feature, the guardian would receive a notification of the location update.Add Gender column to "Current Check-in Roster" reportsug_xwv8kxbhicxennc2025-06-03T20:30:00Z2025-06-10T13:51:30ZThis info is already stored in the child's profile but is not accessible in any report.Text size small add child screensug_vn2y1zflrnhpxlv2025-06-02T20:07:43Z2025-06-10T13:51:46ZThe font size is small when a parent adds a child to their profile at checkin on the ipads. It would be nice to have this larger like the "New Account" screen fields.Allow a one line csv/excel export format for each registrant when form has custom fields.sug_gfmblvamddc3rxn2025-05-27T17:02:12Z2025-06-10T13:51:58ZCan you add in the ability to export an event/registration report where everything is on one row for each registrant? Right now, the custom fields is taking up additional rows and therefore making it difficult to organize using the custom fields information. This would also allow us to print out a concise roster for our teachers where everything can fit on one page verses multiple pages.Check out multiple children in same household at once.sug_jkaei5bjeqjtj762025-05-05T13:31:36Z2025-05-12T14:20:13ZExpediting parent pickup is important to us. Currently, every child has to be selected individually, person picking up selected, and each child checked out. The option to check out the entire family, or even each family member checked into the same class, would be super helpful. There are times that we might dismiss all kids from one location for fun nights, etc. Having to check out each kid in the room individually is frustrating for the worker and the families.Ability to remove a child check in from a class without showing they were picked upsug_2qt8szp36a9okii2025-05-05T13:28:02Z2025-06-10T13:52:29ZAlmost weekly, we have parents check kids in who are either not on campus or checked in to multiple services by mistake. Currently, to remove them, you have to show they were "picked up by" and select a guardian. This show that the child was actually on campus... when in fact, often, it was a mistake and the child may not have been present at all. Would like the ability to REMOVE an inaccurate check in so it doesn't show in that location at all.Worker and Child Check-in Locations should be distinctsug_2jsdwwq5i6r9wbv2025-04-10T17:11:47Z2025-04-14T14:34:50ZIt would be good to have separate locations for workers to check into, ie. "worship team" or "coordinator", that show up under the worker location tab, but NOT under a child location tab during check in. Right now the locations are shared and show up for both workers and children as they check in. Some locations are good to have shared, such as in the case of a classroom, others are better suited to just workers.Assign Grade Levelsug_hp4ysmhi4xugaog2025-04-09T16:17:23Z2025-04-14T14:35:24ZRecord grade level during account creation for kids Pre-k through 12th grades. This would advance each year and promotion date could be an assigned date selected by the organization.Service time seen on drop down while multiple service times are open for check-insug_djlg9pypyynjw612025-04-02T13:51:13Z2025-04-14T14:37:33ZSeeing what service time your child is checked into (locked locations) on drop down when checking kids in to be able to verify they are checked into the correct service time(s).Keep screen dim timeout after updatesug_hyhpswk67ihvosq2025-03-29T15:29:11Z2025-04-14T14:37:40ZOur KidCheck device sits in a closed cabinet and has wires connecting it to the printers on a shelf above, and we use an iPad for checkins. I have noticed that after each software update, we have to go into settings and recheck the box to dim the screen after 10 minutes. If we don’t, the device screen will stay on continuously.
My suggestion is for the software update to honor the previous settings, specifically for dimming the screen, but also for anything else that might be overridden each update.Editable Event Registration Email confirmationsug_7mslkwkojf1ccoz2025-03-26T22:01:36Z2025-04-14T14:38:05ZIt would be nice to be able to customize/edit the email confirmation that goes out to parents when they register for an event. That way you can give further instructions to them about the event, after they register.Admin being able to block dates for volunteerssug_nwk63dtgapqmq812025-03-19T19:57:22Z2025-03-24T22:23:02ZAs an administrator, I should be able to go into the volunteer profile and block dates off for them when they turn in dates they are unavailable. Half of my volunteers do not use the app as it is confusing to them to navigate.Background Check Reportsug_zlgho0dpubk1pfp2025-03-18T18:23:57Z2025-03-24T22:23:15ZIt would be great to include Background Checks completed with Date on a report to Export.API and Zapier Supportsug_cnl96ycvfrwa2nz2025-03-17T21:43:12Z2025-03-24T22:23:23ZKidCheck integration with Zapier, or an API that is compatible with the GoHighLevel CRM. This idea was forwarded to me.Send message to all guardians of a child from Admin Consolesug_lrazd4gdpajxpx52025-03-08T13:02:48Z2025-03-17T15:07:29ZRather than having to go into each guardian shown under a child in the admin console, and then click Send Message, can we have a "Send Message" option for the child which sends a TXT to all listed guardians.Church Management Softwaresug_ejxs3rqm3egerpr2025-03-06T16:35:45Z2025-03-17T15:08:48ZWe are transitioning to Touchpoint Church Management Software. I would love for KidCheck to integrate with it.Add guardians when creating an accountsug_wtbqmu0fpirgh3d2025-02-26T20:13:39Z2025-03-03T18:35:26ZIt would be helpful to allow a person to add guardians when creating a new account through the "new account" tab on the tablet check-in application. It would be helpful if it looked exactly like the account creation on registration assistant.Sorting Options on Dashboardsug_2ppw2lq8pglarfd2025-02-20T15:44:24Z2025-03-03T18:44:43ZIt would be helpful for us to be able to filter the dashboard on admin console by location.Option to have 2nd Child Label printed by Locationsug_l0euxey5re1oymd2025-02-14T17:16:47Z2025-02-17T15:34:09ZIn our nursery locations, we like to attach a label to both the child's back and to their diaper bag. It would be ideal if we could just tell the app to print two child labels if the child is checked into a certain location.Expand Support Library for Brother QL-800 seriessug_z7suxca5rcblqm12024-12-29T15:21:07Z2025-03-03T18:45:11ZWould love to see some more documentation for troubleshooting and setting up a Brother QL-800 printer. We've added a third check-in station and I hooked everything up, the Express Hub sees the printer, and I can connect the check-in station to the printer, but I for the life of me cannot get it to print anything. Red LED every time. I've exhausted all the support documentation on Brother's and Kidcheck's site. I would love to see a more in depth set-up and troubleshooting videos.
