Plus KidKare contains a wide range of CACFP-approved food ready to be included in your menus.

Plus laptop device
Be on track of milk purchases

Make informed decisions on your milk inventory: when to restock and how much to purchase to prevent potential milk shortage.

Enroll kids with KidKare eForms

Send, receive, and store enrollment paperwork online, eliminating the need for paper forms and manual processes.

Switch to automated claim reports

You will no longer have to manually calculate your claims. Our software runs over 200 edit checks to ensure everything is accurate and error-free.

How does it work:
KidKare Food Program Software is a great help for you to participate in the Food Program, from enrollment of children to submitting your claims without errors to your state.

Take a look for yourself:

When enrolling children, you have choices: manually enter child information into KidKare, send eForms to parents, or import children.

Paper is taken out of the equation. 

Meal counts and attendance can be easily recorded on any device at point-of-service in each classroom.

Use the Milk Audit to compare the amount of milk purchased with the amount of milk needed, based on menus and meal counts.

Record infant and non-infant meals separately to meet meal pattern requirements for each.

Set up menu templates for even faster meal planning!

Be confident that your claims are error-free. Goodbye to costly mistakes.
