Child Check In Software Check in
Check In Options
When a family arrives and they need to check their children into class, the first thing you need to do is identify the family, then which children will be checking in. Because each church is different we've implemented several check in options for identifying the family and child.
Bar Code Scan
The first method, and probably the most popular, is using a bar code. To implement this option you need a bar code scanner and either a key tag, bar code badge or sign in roster with a bar code.
When the family arrives they would scan their bar code. A list of everyone in the family is presented. They select the children that are checking in ... then the labels are printed. A touchscreen monitor works very well with this method for selecting the children that will be checking in.
Search by Name or Number
Another very popular method of identifying the children that will be checking in, is to search by the last name or by family number. This is also the least expensive method, since no additional hardware is required. From a manned check in station, the volunteer would enter the first few characters of the famiies last name, then select from the list the correct family and children that will be checking in. Once they have been identified, the labels will print out.
Fingerprint Scan
Probably the most high tech solution for identifying the folks that will be checking in, is the fingerprint scanner. You can record mom and dad's fingerprints. Once their fingerprints are recorded, they just need to scan and a list with everyone in their family is presented. Then you just select the children that will be checking in that day. This solution is only for the Windows operating system.
