We refer to this set of needs as **Hybrid ARAS/SFSP**. ### What Does Hybrid ARAS/SFSP Look Like? When you set up a ARAS or SFSP site to be **Hybrid** model: - Sites may enroll children with a lightweight model that only captures **First Name**, **Last Name**, and **Date of Birth**. **First Name** is the only required field. ![Hybrid\_Enroll](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Images%20-%20DO%20NOT%20DELETE/Hybrid_Enroll.png?width=670&height=318&name=Hybrid_Enroll.png) - While taking attendance and meal counts for a program meal, sites can use the **+Add Walk-In** feature to quickly add walk-ins that do not live on the enrolled roster. Walk-ins are flagged on the attendance list. ![AddWalkin](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Images%20-%20DO%20NOT%20DELETE/AddWalkin.png?width=670&height=318&name=AddWalkin.png) - Sites take meal counts per-child and per-meal instead of by age group. Sites can filter the roster (complete with prior walk-ins) by time last seen, helping to keep current rosters clean and easy to navigate. ![HybridATMC\_CheckingMeals](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Images%20-%20DO%20NOT%20DELETE/HybridATMC_CheckingMeals.png?width=670&height=318&name=HybridATMC_CheckingMeals.png) - SFSP sites gain access to a pop-up roster and can also minimally enroll children and record walk-ins where needed. ![HybridATMC\_SFSPRoster](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Images%20-%20DO%20NOT%20DELETE/HybridATMC_SFSPRoster.png?width=670&height=318&name=HybridATMC_SFSPRoster.png) ### Configuring Sites for Hybrid ARAS/SFSP When you are either enrolling a new ARAS/SFSP site or updating a current one, you can toggle the **Hybrid** version of each program on in the License/Schedule tab. 1. From the menu to the left, click **Center Management**. 2. Either choose to **Enroll a Center** or choose **Manage Center Information**. 3. Navigate to the **License/Schedule** tab. 4. In the **Program Type** menu, ensure that **At-Risk - ARAS** or **Summer Food Program** is selected. 5. Click the **Hybrid** toggle. ![HybridToggle](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Images%20-%20DO%20NOT%20DELETE/HybridToggle.png?width=670&height=318&name=HybridToggle.png) 6. Configure the remaining requirements for the site's ARAS program: capacity, approved meals, and so on. 7. When finished, click **Save**.   - [Centers](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Home Page & Settings](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#home-page-settings) - [Children](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#children) - [eForms](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#eforms) - [Menus/Attendance](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#menus-attendance) - [Calendar](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#calendar) - [Claims](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#claims) - [Expenses](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#expenses) - [Parachute](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#parachute) - [Reports](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#reports) - [Administration](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#administration) - [Import](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#import) - [Messages](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#messages) - [Guardian Portal](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#guardian-portal) - [At-Risk/SFSP Sites](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/centers?hsLang=en#at-risk-sfsp-sites) - [Sponsors of Centers](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Home Page & Settings](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#home-page-settings) - [Observer Mode](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#observer-mode) - [Claims](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#claims) - [Children](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#children) - [eForms](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#eforms) - [Center Management](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#center-management) - [Menus/Attendance](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#menus-attendance) - [Foods](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#foods) - [Reports](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#reports) - [Tools](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#tools) - [Administration](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#administration) - [Import](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#import) - [Payments](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#payments) - [Messages](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#messages) - [At-Risk & SFSP](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#at-risk-sfsp) - [Minute Menu CX User Manual](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#minute-menu-cx-user-manual) - [KidKare Academy for Sponsors](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#kidkare-academy-for-sponsors) - [Beacon Verify](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/sponsors-of-centers?hsLang=en#beacon-verify) - [Get Help/Support](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/centers/get-help-support?hsLang=en) Support Hours M-F 9am-5pm CST Copyright © 2025, KidKare
