People are loving KidKare

5/5

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.

5/5

Enrollment

Switching to KidKare’s electronic forms for enrollment and income eligibility has been one of the best decisions for our center. The software even tracks expiring and expired profiles, ensuring we stay on top of everything and never miss out on claims due to paperwork issues. It’s such a relief.

5/5

Growth

After switching to this system, we managed to open a second location! We’re no longer buried in paperwork, saving so much time on labor and we have caught costly mistakes with the claim feature, —everything runs so smoothly. We can finally focus on growing our business.

5/5

Administrative Reviews

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.

5/5

Workload

Our workload has reduced by at least three times since we started using KidKare. What used to take hours of sorting through paperwork, especially during claims week, now takes just a few minutes. Our staff handles attendance and meal counts from their phones, and the reports show great data. It’s been a huge time-saver and has lightened the burden on our team.
