Our software provides risk indicators. Look at the data below from one of the largest states receiving over $4M in CACFP funds from Oct 21 to Feb 23.
See below how KidKare is making a difference in the CACFP in Texas and Louisiana.
Louisiana is leading the way in ensuring program consistency and adherence by providing KidKare solutions for licensed CACFP participants that standardizes program practices and allows for statewide data accessibility.
Texas has 10,861 licensed childcares, but only 54% participate in the CACFP program due to excessive paperwork. This results in children missing out on healthy meals and strains state resources.
KidKare's robust solution reduces paperwork, boosts participation rates, saves time and resources for state agencies, and improves claims accuracy.
3,393 (66%) out of 5,853 License CACFP childcares utilize KidKare solutions in TX.
Total: 3,393 users
"There was a site that I was about to sign out of the program for deficiencies - but they got on KidKare, the reviewer went out and they had a perfect review."
- CACFP Program Manager
"Struggled with milk calculations and had deficiencies from the last visits. KidKare provides Constant TA and provides real time coaching for our users"
-CACFP Program Manager
"I went to visit and the site had started KidKare on their own and had already submitted January’s claims. It was a complete 180 from the last visit!"
- CACFP Program Manager
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.
