Kids & class check-in
Church check-in software that parents get in one tap.
Parents type their phone number on an iPad, tap their children, and the stickers print. Regulars get a text on Sunday morning and check in from their phone. Teachers see the room's list with allergies in plain words, and pick-up is secure from the front desk to the classroom door.
An iPad kiosk any parent can use
Ten digits of a phone number bring the family up with the usual children already ticked and their rooms chosen. One tap prints a sticker for each child and a pick-up tag for the parent. New families add themselves in under a minute.
- Any iPad or tablet, paired with a six-letter code
- Rooms chosen by age, grade or a class roll
- Room limits and adult-to-child ratios checked as they go
- A desk mode for staff: search by name, overrides, reprints
Check in from a phone before they park
Families who come regularly get a welcome text on Sunday morning with their own link. They tick who is here, and the stickers are waiting at the front desk when they walk in. The pick-up code is on their phone, in Apple Wallet and in a text.
- A welcome text at the time you choose
- Only at church, if you want (by the phone's location)
- Stickers print at the desk; the code stays on the phone
Stickers people can read without decoding
Medical notes print in plain words — "ALLERGY: Peanuts, tree nuts — EpiPen in her bag" — with a symbol beside them. Design your own sticker with your logo, per room or for the whole church, across the tape or longways.
- Brother QL-820NWB and QL-810W on 62 mm tape
- Zebra and ZPL label printers at 203 or 300 dpi
- A drag-and-drop sticker designer
- Birthday, first-time, no-photos and pick-up alert symbols
Secure pick-up, called to the room
Every child checked in together shares one pick-up code. At the desk, one code finds all of them in every room and releases them. The rooms are told at once: the child's name comes up on the room's screen, the panel's light bar pulses, and nobody is missed until a teacher taps "On the way".
- A not-allowed list that stops a release, overridden only with a PIN
- A text to the parent when someone else picks up
- A new code for a lost tag
- Every override written down
The room's list, on an iPad or a panel
Teachers see who is here, who is expected, who has gone, the allergies in words and who may pick each child up. They can text a parent from the room, and the parent's reply comes back to the room.
- On an iPad, a leader's phone, or a room panel facing the teachers
- Add a visitor in seconds
- Adult classes: one person marks the roll

Questions
Check-in: the straight answers.
Which label printers work?
Brother QL-820NWB and QL-810W with DK-2205 62 mm tape, and Zebra printers (ZD411, ZD421, GK420d and others) or any label printer with ZPL emulation — Citizen, Honeywell, TSC, Godex, or a Brother TD-4 in ZPL mode. They print over your church network through the Worksite Bridge.
Can we move over from Planning Center Check-Ins?
Yes. Worksite brings in your events, rooms and times, every past check-in, and children's medical notes. You can run both side by side while you try it, and turn it on in stages: adult classes first, then kids, then phones.
Does it work for adult classes too?
Yes. A class leader marks who is there from their own link — no account needed — and adds a visitor in seconds. Attendance for every class is kept for years.
Is it safe?
Pick-up codes are four characters with nothing to misread, one per family. A name on the not-allowed list stops a release unless staff enter the override PIN, and every override is recorded. A kiosk can only check in the family it just looked up, and rosters only show on screens set up for that room.
