Children's check-in

A calmer Sunday morning at the check-in table.

A touch-friendly kiosk on any tablet browser. Parents find their family, tap who they're dropping off, and get a pickup code. Your children's team sees who is in the room right now.

Highlights

Find the family fast

Search by a child's name or a parent's phone number, tap the children being dropped off, and check in.

Pickup codes, no printer

Each check-in gets a 4-character code on screen. Siblings checked in together share one code, and the code guards checkout.

A live roster for staff

The Today tab lists every check-in with its code and times, with a staff checkout when a parent has lost the code.

Real numbers

This week's count, a 4-week average, distinct children this month, and a 12-week attendance chart.

Set up a tablet in seconds

The kiosk runs from a private link, shown with a QR code. If a tablet goes missing, regenerate the link and the old device is shut out.

English and Chinese

The kiosk switches language with one tap, and families need no account or sign-in.

Three taps for a parent

Every child recorded under a household in People can check in the moment the feature is on. There is nothing separate to register.

Adult and child totals together

Turn on Service Attendance to record adult headcounts by service and derive a distinct child total from check-ins. Reports download as CSV without personal details.

See the trend, not only today

The dashboard shows this week, a 4-week average, and a 12-week bar chart so a dip is easy to spot. Classes can run every day or on a chosen weekday, and retiring one keeps its history.

Good to know

  • There is no label printing. The pickup code is shown on screen.
  • Only children recorded in a household can check in. CSV import brings an existing family list in.
  • The kiosk is protected by its private link, not a parent sign-in. Keep it on a trusted device and regenerate the link if one is lost.
