Record Reviews Online

Once a Monitor is ready to review a provider, they can log in to KidKare on any device and complete the review.

   • Click the blank boxes at the top of each column to filter information in that column. For example, you can click the Provider box and begin typing a provider's name.

   • Click Filters in the top-right corner to set additional filters. You can filter by Pending, Active, Hold, or Withdrawn status. If available, you can also specify whether to show reviews for all monitors.

   • Meal

   • Food & Attendance

   • If you need to exit the review and return later, click Save & Exit Review at the top of the page, or click Save at the bottom of the page and close the review. Your information is retained, and you can return to the review at a later time.

If your providers need help finding their copy of this report, they can do do in the Reports section of KidKare.

    

About the Food & Attendance Review Page

The amount of required fields on the Food & Attendance page varies depending on user input. For example, if you do not select a meal, meal components are not required. However, if you do select a meal, the components are required. For this reason, the remaining required fields are marked with an asterisk next to the page icon, and the page display changes as monitors complete the review.

1. In the Meal Service Details section, select No Meal, Breakfast, AM Snack, Lunch, or PM Snack.

2. If the provider is approved for multiple servings, select the number of servings given at the meal (1 or 2). Then, select the time at which each serving was given.

3. In the Food Served, section, select the food served at the meal. You must complete this information for both non-infants and infants. There are slight differences between how meals are recorded for infants versus non-infants. For more information, see Recording Meal Components for Infants, below. 

4. Click a child's name to mark them as present for the meal. If you selected two servings in Step 2, click the child's name again to mark them as present for both servings.

   

   Note: If a child is not listed on this page, click Add Child. Then, enter the child's information and click Add. The child is added to the review and to Minute Menu HX.

5. When finished, click Continue.

Recording Meal Components for Infants

Per the USDA regulations for developmentally ready foods, there is no set age when developmentally ready foods must be served, as the development rate of infants varies between children. All meal components for infants must be recorded on a per-child basis.

You must still click the child's name to mark them as present (click twice to mark them present for both servings, if needed). Once a child is marked present, meal components display under their name.

Service Analysis for Texas Sponsors

Sponsors for the state of Texas must also complete the Service Analysis page. This page lists the food components entered on the Food & Attendance page for non-infants and infants, as well as the required quantities. You must enter the prepared quantities and indicate whether those quantities were sufficient.

1. Begin the review as you normally would. For more information, refer back to the heading Completing the Questionnaire in KidKare, above.

2. Enter information, as required, and click Continue to move through the review pages.

3. When the Service Analysis page opens:

   1. Click the Category drop-down menu next to each listed food (if available), and select the category to which the food belongs.

   2. Click the boxes in the Prepared column for each age group, and enter the quantity of food prepared.

   3. In the Amount Sufficient column, click Yes or No.

      

4. Repeat Step 3 for each meal. You must complete these tables for both non-infants and infants.

5. When finished, click Continue.
