Just got my username and password and logged on to KidKare. It's all in Spanish.
Does anyone know how to switch it to English?

Why do I have the feeling I am going back to paper???

IIRC there is a place you can click on the log-in(?) page at the bottom that says language? Or you can get yourself an English-spanish book.

Thanks, Josiegirl. Tried but it didn't work not even after I cleared my cache.

Are you able to log in?

If so, once logged in there is another option available in the top left hand portion of the screen (I am using a laptop)

Underneath the KidKare logo there is a brownish colored box with a gear symbol (next to a blue box with a ? in it) ....if you click that it also gives you the option of switching languages.

Maybe one of your options (either on log in page or the page once logged in) have the wrong language clicked and that's defaulting you back to Spanish....?

I don't know but I noticed that option to change languages on that screen too so thought I'd mention it and see if it helps.

After login, language is the red box icon with an image of gears on it (top left). I had to change it a couple times and refresh until it worked.

Sorry - Did not see BC's post above

I can't find a section to tell me if the parents set up payment accounts or made payments. Anywhere.

This is driving me crazy......the invoices are listed as descending from the least recent to the most recent. I don't care about what happened in January.....I want the most recent to show. It's not a big deal if I am on the computer....but if I'm on my itty bitty cell phone it's harder to get to the right place. It used to show the most recent first.....not sure why that's changed.

I see the date range option. Maybe using that would fix that issue :confused:

I have been trying to listen to the webinars but that is like nails on a chalkboard. Add in the daycare kids million questions + parents confused texts/emails into the background and I am liable to delete the whole shebang, soon.

This is my biggest pet peeve EVER.
WHY? JUST WHY?
I don't understand why we can't click on a setting to set how we want our sections to look ONCE and they just stay like that.

I have so many hangups with KK

Glad to know I'm not coo coo. it is so annoying! Also I wish we could have it set as either infant or non-in fit on the food portion and it would stay that way. I don't have any infants but every day I have to switch it over to non-infants. Also for some reason when I type out my menu it puts every fruit in twice. Apples apples, bananas bananas. Looks stupid.

Mine stays that way and I use Chrome browser.

So I just got a call from my FP rep. She says that on Sept 26 I do not have milk listed for breakfast. When I go into kk and run a food served report, I have milk listed for every breakfast and lunch.
I think I just proved to my FP rep that kk is making mistakes, not me. She says she will fix this one on her end and not penalizing me for it.

Yes! The gear on the left let me change the language. I had clicked on the gear on the right but everything was in Spanish and nothing changed it.
Sure hope I do not have to do that every time.

I have to say the site looks like a PITA to me so far. When you enter a food it reminds you to check things, like whether it is WG but doesn't offer any info on how to check/what qualifies. Haven't dug around any more yet but if it is that helpful on all the new items, it is not very helpful.

I want to give credit where it is due.

I just noticed that it will let me add meal counts without entering menus. happyface
With not being on the FP, this will save me a lot of time and effort.

Auto-pay and recurrent invoicing is now working. All parents are current, a couple got ahead and all love the credit card option.

I may survive this transition afterall. ::::

Things that are bugging me about KK:

Trying to pop open a report to check what I've entered and it won't just pop open, like in a different tab or as a pdf. I either have to redo the report each time I go back to Meals to change something, or I have to save it as a pdf using print and give it a file name, even though I'm just doing a 5 day check.

For me with my billing, it's annoying to not be able to run an in/out per child, with only one report per child or family.

BTW I'm not subscribing--just using free and there's no way I'd pay for this. I hope the federal government didn't pay much.

And it would be nice if certain grains just automatically popped up as whole grain rich. Like Cheerios, wheat crackers, and wheat bread. I'd rather have it as a menu item: "Whole wheat bread" rather than have to go and click the "rich" button afterwards.

And there's no report to let me check if I remembered to do the "rich" button each day. Are my meals going to be disallowed? It's just once a day right? (Almost all my grain servings are whole grain, but I just want to make sure I don't get disallowed).
