In addition to providing parents child identification cards, Ident-A-Kid also helps keep children safe at school by providing schools with our Complete Campus Security Solution (CCSS) software. This comprehensive visitor management tool is donated by Ident-A-Kid to the schools in the communities they serve.

CCSS allows schools to easily track all visitors and issue a variety of ID badges, including photo, by just pointing and clicking. Your campus can be a safer place by printing “on demand” Visitor, Volunteer, Substitute, and Student passes. Also, an archived photo can be automatically taken of each visitor or their driver’s license can be scanned at Check In for positive ID. Additionally, this software enables you to instantly check to see if new visitors are listed as convicted sexual offenders in the U.S. Department of Justice’s national database.

Child Safety Education

Even though child identification is a big aspect of our business, Ident-A-Kid is committed to child safety and the protection of children. This is why Ident-A-Kid has partnered the Child Rescue Network, a non-profit charity dedicated to protecting children. As part of our partnership many of our Ident-A-Kid Program Directors have received several hours of child safety training by the Child Rescue Network and have become Certified Child Safety Representatives.

Child Safety Rules

It is so important for you and your child to know some general safety rules. Learning and practicing some general safety rules can better prepare you and your child to make the right decisions about safety. Rather than have your children be afraid of their environment, teaching them these few, simple rules can assist them in knowing how to react to situations where they feel there might be trouble. Teaching them these rules can also help your child to be better able to recognize and avoid a potentially dangerous situation. It doesn’t take long, only a couple hours set aside to practice and learn. Just click on the links below provided by the Child Rescue Network (CRN) and you can download and print a child and adult version of CRN’s child safety rules.

Make sure to update your child's Ident-A-Kid card!

It is a great idea to get an Ident-A-Kid card for your child, but you have to be sure to keep it up-to-date!

Why get a new Ident-A-Kid card every year when I can just get one for my child and renew it in a few years? This is a question that is frequently asked of us here at Ident-A-Kid. According to the World Health Organization at www.who.int, children between the ages of 5 and 19 can grow from 2 to 4 inches and gain up to 10 pounds per year! Also, according to www.thetech.org, children’s hair color can change or darken as they grow older; going from a blonde head of hair to brunette. All this growing and changing can make a very big difference in your child’s appearance. It is very important to have an up-to-date, accurate picture and description of your child at all times. With an accurate description of your child, he/she can be found much easier and more efficiently if lost or missing. Not having the right weight, height or hair color can greatly hinder the search for a missing child.
