KidKare: Your Online Record Keeping Solution

Nobody likes record keeping. But, keeping good records can save you a lot of time and money. The best record keeping system is KidKare, the nation’s leading family child care record keeping online software program.

The accounting section of KidKare allows you to track income from parents, the subsidy program, grants and Food Program reimbursements. You can send parents invoices and track their payments. You can easily print out end-of-the-year receipts. You can also accept parent payments online.

The major benefit of KidKare is that it makes it easy to track your business expenses. When you enter your expenses into KidKare, you will choose the appropriate expense category. Then you can print out reports at the end of the year that will mirror the major tax forms you must file (Schedule C and Form 8829). This makes it easier for you to either do your own taxes or turn these reports over to your tax professional, who will then know what you can deduct.

KidKare also makes it easy to calculate your Time-Space Percentage. You can enter all the hours you work in your home when children are present and when they are not. Here's a helpful instructional video "Tracking Hours When Children Are Not Present Using KidKare." KidKare will multiply your Time-Space Percentage by expenses used for both business and personal purposes, saving you a lot of time trying to do the math.

You can run KidKare on any device (Android, iPhone, iPad). You can track attendance records and meals and snacks served. I helped design the original accounting section in KidKare, so I guarantee that you will save money when using this program.

The cost is $99.00 a year, with a free 30 day trial offer. If you do sign up, please use the referral code 0659. If you do so, this will help support the work I do helping family child care providers be more successful as a business. Get more information about KidKare.

Is $99.00 a year worth it?

Yes! KidKare is the most comprehensive record keeping tool available that was specifically designed for family child care providers. The $99.00 is 100% tax deductible!
