The Ultimate KidCheck Easter Resource List
For Easter, check-in is about much more than just attendance tracking. It can help you maximize the day with less effort. Here’s a list of KidCheck resources that make Easter easier to manage, run more smoothly, and free you to focus on what really matters: welcoming new families.
Pre-Celebration Prep
Easter brings in new visitors. To prepare for the attendance increase, you can:
- Temporarily Go Unlimited or Upgrade Edition: If and when you need it, you can move to Unlimited licenses or upgrade to a different edition temporarily for busy times or a special event. There are no hidden fees or costs. You’ll only pay for what you need for as long as necessary. Call us to make the required changes.
- Use the Multi-Service Feature: Which easily handles children’s check-in and attendance tracking across multiple services. Parents/guardians choose and check children into multiple services right at the initial check-in. There’s no need to check in and out between services or reprint badges. Quickly see who is checked in across multiple services and still provide accurate attendance tracking by service. (Plus Edition and above)
- Utilize Event Registration: Simplify the registration process and gather key information from start to finish before check-in for any size event. Know ahead of time who is planning to attend so you can better manage volunteer-to-child ratios, assign registrants to locations, and run reports to help keep planning organized. (Premier edition)
Schedule Volunteers Easily
Volunteer scheduling is perfect for Easter or any event across your organization. It’s a tool that saves time, eliminates manual processes, and simplifies scheduling volunteers for roles such as classroom teachers and helpers, safety teams, greeters, hospitality, tech, etc. It’s available in a mobile app or desktop version for added convenience. (Plus Edition and above)
Offer Mobile Express Check-In
Mobile Express Check-In Feature: Families love added convenience. With Express Check-In, parents can begin check-in remotely from their personal mobile device. Then, upon arrival, they simply tap submit on their device, and Express Check-In, coupled with the ExpressHub, completes the check-in and automatically prints labels. Reduce lines, improve efficiency, and create a positive parent perception.
Activate Youth Check-In
YouthCheck is the only check-in system designed to meet the specific needs of youth. It’s a full-featured check-in system with a youth-driven design that offers the same ease of use and extensive security features as children’s check-in. It’s engaging and age-appropriate while encouraging accountability and connection. (Plus edition and above)
Share Information and Connect Easier
- Text messaging: The quickest way to share critical or more immediate information, such as a schedule change, an emergency, or a need request. Parents love how quickly and easily text messages inform them when they need to return to the nursery or classroom. It’s also great when another guardian drops off or picks up a child, as parents can receive an automatic “child has checked in/out message, providing assurance of the child’s location.
- Parent Check-In Notes: When parents check-in, it’s a great opportunity for them to share information. Check-in notes provide a visible place for any special instructions they want to be known for that day—anything from birthday information to feeding schedule details. The notes are in addition to the medical & allergy alert fields and are printed on the child’s name badge.
- Check Announcements & Notifications: Here, staff can prominently share information right on the check-in screen, for all parents/guardians to see or for individuals as necessary. It’s great for information and details about upcoming events, room changes, reminders to bring diapers, follow-up messages to welcome a new family back, and more.
- Broadcast Email: During the holidays, clear, consistent communication with workers and parents can be tricky. Broadcast email is a great way to send a group message. Choose the criteria for who receives the message, then send it right out of KidCheck. The Broadcast email also includes the option to attach documents, so you can easily send participation paperwork, a volunteer schedule, event promotion materials, or medical releases.
