Whether a family is signing up in your kiosk for the first time on a Sunday morning or you’re loading in a whole spreadsheet of kids or parents, MinHub Kids makes it easy to track all of the data that helps you communicate to the right people at the right time.

Track kids schools, grades, special needs, allergies, birthdays, gender, and other notes. Collect parent phone numbers and email addresses, and of course addresses for that snail mail.

Then, use that data to filter attendance lists for your events, generate reports, form groups, or even mass text your parents from your own number with auto-filling names in each message for personalization.

Groups come in two forms: managed and smart.

Managed groups allow you to hand pick any kid, parent or leader and put them in a group. These work great for small groups or event sign ups.

Smart groups automatically add kids and parents based on filters that you add. You can create a group for all of your elementary students by selecting grades, or all of your mothers with toddlers by combining those two filters. You can even create groups to see all of your regular kids that have a birthday in the next month.

The hope is that generating groups based on any data point is possible with smart groups. If you can think of something, you can probably make a group for it. If you find something missing, just chat us over in the corner and we’ll see if we can build it for you.

What would a great attendance app be without an easy way to visualize the trends in what is happening at your events.

Some dips in attendance may be expected, but seeing how different age ranges, genders, or schools are moving in or out of your ministry over time can give you acute insight into just what type of tweaking would benefit your ministry strategy.

This type of information is critical in making decisions based on what is actually happening in your attendance data rather than just relying on anecdotal evidence.

Does your ministry collect and manage funds for your kids?

You can track all of those transactions right inside of MinHub Kids.

There is an active ledger showing all of your transactions to quickly see how much money should be in your account.

Upload CSV files to quickly add account increases or expenses.

Also, each kid profile shows their personal balance including deposits and expenses. These personal ledgers are also shared in Portal parents to check their kids’ account balances easily.

For events that require some sort of sign up or registration tracking, you can use Event RSVPs to track kids that are interested in attending.

Each response can be marked as a Yes, No or Maybe and include a note with the registration in case you need to collect a t-shirt size or other information.

After recording responses, you can also text or send portal messages to parents in each category of response. For instance, you can check with all of your Maybe responses as the event approaches to see if they are able to attend or not.

Attaching an event to a Portal Announcement will allow parents to respond with the RSVP right in their MinHub Portal app.

By default, every new staff person can see the people in your database including kids and parents, but they can only access contact information once they have been connected directly or through a group leader/kid relationship.

Creating and editing groups and events are also limited in access by default and only available to new staff when you choose to grant them permissions.

If you ever need to revoke access for a staff member gone rogue, you won’t need to get their device back or change passwords for everyone in your ministry. Simply toggle off their access and they won’t be able to get into your database anymore.
