What Grace Gate Check-In is
Grace Gate Check-In is a children’s check-in system for churches and similar organizations. Its iPad kiosk supports check-in and checkout, and family codes help verify authorized pickup. A web dashboard, label printing, volunteer scheduling, and an optional free parent app are also included; families can use a browser version of the parent features. Parents can receive alerts, pre-check-in, manage authorized pickup people, and view class photos. Staff can view live room counts and rosters, while classroom volunteers can page parents for pickup, comfort, medication, or assistance. Churches can schedule rotations, collect confirmations, track volunteer coverage, and keep background-check dates on file. Planning Center and Breeze support two-way sync; Elvanto supports directory import, and other systems can be brought in by CSV. The iPad continues checking children in if Wi-Fi drops. Daily backups can be restored from snapshots retained for 90 days. The service costs $9.99 a month for every paired iPad and offers a 30-day trial, but no free plan. A free Mac and Windows print tool supports label printing.
