We Have Begun Development of KinderAttend Version 2.0

Our developers have begun work on version 2.0 of our KinderAttend product. This version focuses on improving the usability of the application and bringing the user interface to be more consistent with our other products. It also sets the groundwork for new features that will be included in future releases. We expect to release this version sometime this fall.

Provider Payment Status Report

KinderAttend has a Provider Payment Status Report that can be used by providers to display the status of all payments in the KinderTrack system for a selected billing period. The information about payments is broken down by child, and shows the child’s name, the payment ID, the last date the payment status changed, the current payment status, and the payment amount.

This handy report can be used by providers to get a quick snapshot of where their payments are without having to call the agency providing the subsidized care.

OnCare Connects to KinderAttend

This press release provides an overview on integrating our products with the OnCare Online Child Care Services, a web-based center management system. It was issued shortly before this blog was started, but is still relevant today.

Tracking Snacks and Lunches in Subsidized Childcare

Did you know that KinderAttend can be configured to track services (such as lunch or a snack) provided to a child on a daily basis?

Tracking Protective Services Children in KinderAttend

Did you know that KinderAttend has a built in Protective Services Report that can be used by agencies to see if at risk children are absent from providers during schedule attendance days?

Version 1.5.8 of KinderAttend has been released

The biggest new feature in this release is the implementation of a full audit history for daily attendance as well as notes, services, parent fees and co-payments for clients using these features. The Audit history is available for attendance entered via the web, from a biometric device, or a third party application via our API.

Onondaga County, NY – State of the County Address

KinderAttend was mentioned in a State of the County address by the Onondaga County Executive. This was a long speech – to find the reference, you best search for “KinderAttend” on  that page.

ProCare Connects to KinderAttend

Did you know that if your center uses ProCare Software, you can download attendance information directly into KinderAttend? Ask us about this feature. It can save you a large amount of data entry time.

The Recent Postage Increase Makes Online Attendance Sheets More Attractive.

As most of you are (probably painfully) aware, the USPS raised the cost of a First-Class stamp from 42 to 44 cents on May 11. This 4.7% increase is certainly added incentive to consider using our online attendance sheets. In addition to the rising cost of postage, our automated process also eliminates the manpower needed to print, stuff envelopes and mail out the attendance sheets. Your providers will get their attendance sheets faster while you save money. It’s definitely an attractive option in these tough economic times.
