Kids check-in software for churches
Check-in that takes seconds, and a record that holds up. A lobby kiosk that runs itself, a live room-by-room view for whoever is running the hallway, and family information parents fill in before Sunday instead of on a clipboard at 9:58.
What does Kids do?
- A kiosk link that needs no volunteer login, and it reaches nothing else in your church
- Search by family and check siblings in together
- Live room-by-room view, with allergy and note flags where the team will see them
- Family intake links parents complete without an account
- Name labels and pickup codes printed at check-in
- Its own permission scope: grant it to exactly the right people

Kids runs on Core, which is free forever. Products you add share the same directory, so you never enter your people twice, or get all of them with Churchory One.
Questions about Kids
Is there a separate youth ministry product?
No. Youth and college ministries run as groups in Groups, with their own leaders, rosters, attendance and chat. Age-group ministries and their rosters also live in Core's people directory, so every church can organise people by life stage whatever products it owns.
Does Churchory handle families and households?
Yes. Families are real household records with a shared address and the parent-and-child relationships that kids check-in relies on, and members can see and correct their own family from the app. Whether someone joins as an adult or a child is always an explicit choice by your staff, never a guess.
How does Churchory track attendance?
Attendance is captured in the room, not reconstructed on Monday: Sunday check-in and headcounts come with Sunday, group attendance with Groups, and kids check-ins with Kids. Staff see week-over-week history and a list of the groups that forgot to take attendance.
How does kids check-in work?
A parent finds their family on a lobby kiosk, checks siblings in together, and a name label and a matching pickup ticket print with a short security code (like K-82). At pickup, the code on the parent's ticket must match the child's label, and the person running the hallway sees a live room-by-room view with allergy and note flags.
