See below how KidKare is making a difference in the CACFP in Louisiana.
Louisiana Department of Education has partnered with KidKare to provide our software to every CACFP participant in the state and establish a best-in-class system for State staff program management.
Seeing significant traction among those on-boarded and claiming, in March 2023, Louisiana made history by mandating the software for every site.
Today, every meal claimed in the state is counted, tracked and analyzed through KidKare. Participants have provided strong feedback that this has made the program more accessible than ever before and the State Team has seen staff efficiency, program friction mitigation and overall, improved program outcomes across the board.
"I have had several sites that would have been removed from the program. The software does not allow them to make mistakes. Now, they've gone from serious defiency to near perfect visits."

“One of our newer sponsors was struggling with the paperwork for the food program. They started using KidKare and their next review was a complete 180 from the last visit!“
- State Education Consultant
Institutions that use center management software for CACFP attendance and meals require manual verification by state reviewers for compliance. KidKare automates and validates this process, resulting in significant time savings and greater consistency in state administrative reviews.
