The Industry Loves KidKare

 Program Director , NY

As the director of a sponsoring organization that oversees more than 90 sites, switching to KidKare has been nothing short of a game changer. After evaluating several software options, we chose KidKare, and I couldn't be more pleased with our decision. KidKare has not only simplified our operations but has also brought a new level of efficiency to our entire program.

Center Director, TX

We went through a stressful administrative review with the state before we started using KidKare Food Program, and we had several issues to address. Since switching from pen and paper to KidKare, we haven’t had a single problem.

Shared Service, GA

We’re thrilled to see how Parachute has transformed the operations of our family childcare providers. The feedback has been phenomenal—our providers rave about how easy it is to learn and how they can start using it effectively from day one. The ability to handle all bookkeeping tasks and accept payments in one place has been a game-changer.

Center Owner, PA

Claims: KidKare is AMAZING! Claims take just a few clicks now, and everything is error-free. The edit checks catch mistakes before we even see them. No more stress or hours spent on paperwork—it’s a total game-changer.
