You can also re-activate withdrawn children at a later date, if needed. Deleting children, however, completely removes the record from your database. We strongly recommend that you only delete children who were enrolled in error, enrolled twice, and for other data-entry related reasons. Otherwise, withdraw children who are no longer in care. 1.

This date is written back to the sponsor and populates the **Developmentally Ready** box in the Child Information **Special** tab. For example, if the provider sets the **Add Solid Foods** slider to Yes and records solid foods for an infant on May 7, 2019, 05/07/2019 is written to the **Developmentally Ready** box in KidKare. See the figures below. From the Provider **Enter Meal** screen: ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/5cd19e436e121c470b301100/n/kk-developmentaly-ready-infant.png) From the Sponsors **Child Information** screen on the **Special** tab: ![](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-18-2024-05-45-09-3525-PM.png?width=535&height=281&name=image-png-Sep-18-2024-05-45-09-3525-PM.png) The **Developmentally Ready** date can also be entered when enrolling new children, or from the edit child screen.  ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/664263322db6716ab90493ca/n/1715626801512.png) ![](https://dyzz9obi78pm5.cloudfront.net/app/image/id/6642635ee2cba8104d571070/n/1715626845359.png) #### Sponsor Preferences for Developmentally Ready Foods **Preference Q.010** can be set to **Ignore**, **Warn** or **Disallow** When set to **Warn**, an infant who was marked developmentally ready was not served solid foods, **Error 189** appears on the Office Error report. Meals are checked starting from the first day the infant was marked developmentally ready at a meal in KidKare. This error is a warning only When set to **Disallow,** an infant who was marked developmentally ready was not served solid foods, **Error 192** appears on the Office Error report. Meals are checked starting from the first day the infant was marked developmentally ready at a meal in KidKare. This error will disallow meals by child based on the criteria below: - If a child is marked as developmentally ready and they are under 6 months, the sponsor will receive a **warning** on the claim if the child is not served 2 components of solid food for each meal. - If a child is marked as developmentally ready and they are 6 months or older, the sponsor will see a **disallow** error on the claim if the child is not served the required 3 components based on the USDA meal patterns.     - [Home Providers](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Home Page & Settings](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#home-page-settings) - [My Children](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#my-children) - [My Site](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#my-site) - [eForms](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#eforms) - [Meals](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#meals) - [Food Program](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#food-program) - [Calendar](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#calendar) - [Check In/Out](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#check-in-out) - [Reports](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#reports) - [Messages](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#messages) - [KidKare Accounting](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#kidkare-accounting) - [Parachute](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#parachute) - [Español](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#espa%C3%B1ol) - [Guardian Portal](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/home-providers?hsLang=en#guardian-portal) - [KidKare for Home Sponsors](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Home Page & Settings](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#home-page-settings) - [Observer Mode](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#observer-mode) - [Claims](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#claims) - [Children](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#children) - [eForms](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#eforms) - [Provider Management](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#provider-management) - [Menus/Attendance](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#menus-attendance) - [Payments](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#payments) - [Foods](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#foods) - [Reports](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#reports) - [Tools](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#tools) - [Administration](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#administration) - [Messages](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#messages) - [Beacon Verify](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/kidkare-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#beacon-verify) - [MMHX for Home Sponsors](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Install & Update MinuteMenuHX](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#install-update-minutemenuhx) - [Get Started](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#get-started) - [Manage Providers](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#manage-providers) - [Enroll & Manage Children](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#enroll-manage-children) - [Review Homes](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#review-homes) - [Manage Foods & Menus](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#manage-foods-menus) - [Administrative Tasks](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#administrative-tasks) - [Process & Manage Claims](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#process-manage-claims) - [Reports](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#reports) - [Videos](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#videos) - [Resources](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#resources) - [MinuteMenuHX Full User Manual](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/mmhx-for-home-sponsors?hsLang=en#minutemenuhx-full-user-manual) - [Get Help/Support](https://knowledge.kidkare.com/homes/get-help-support?hsLang=en) # KidKare Support Hours M-F 9am-5pm CST Copyright © 2026, KidKare
