Program/Kidkare and MInute menu

KST Daycare & Pre-School is a proud member of KidKare and Minute Menu. This is the industry leader in easy-to-use daycare management software solutions for the child and adult care food program (CACFP). Our tools help streamline the task of processing monthly CACFP claims from sponsors and enable childcare providers and parents to stay connected throughout the child’s stay.

Our solutions give providers a variety of options like managing financial expenses, tracking attendance, and meal planning. From creating income and expense reports, to producing invoices, monthly statements, and managing all information related to each child, we help childcare providers handle their business with efficiency and organization. With over 400 family child care sponsors and more than 200 center sponsors in 47 states, we’ve developed close-knit, long-standing relationships with our customers.

Because of our unique caring culture and committed employees, we have acquired loyal, unwavering customers who’ve helped us grow. Our recent partnership with Alpine Investors will allow us to continue to deliver the most comprehensive CACFP solution to America’s childcare sponsor organizations and providers as we continue to explore new ways to serve the childcare industry.

Where Mealtime Equals Love—and Learning.

You want your child to eat well—and be happy, healthy, and active. We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we provide nutritious meals and snacks to meet the needs of rapidly growing bodies and minds. Our meals and snacks includes versions of kid favorites made with healthier ingredients, like whole grains, proteins to keep bellies full, plenty of fruits and vegetables—and low-fat, hormone-free milk.

At KST Daycare & Pre-School, nutrition is about more than the food on the plate. It’s an important part of our educational model. Even our two-year-olds set the table with their friends, practice “please” and “thank you,” Our teachers and chefs do a masterful job of introducing the wonderful world of flavors to children and their developing palates, and we’ve made sure our new recipes are kid-approved by testing them at select centers first.

Bottom line: At KST Daycare and Pre-School , the learning doesn’t end at lunchtime, and our approach to nutrition is as thoughtful as our approach to reading, the arts, or anything else we teach. We’re proud of that!

After all, it takes a community of caring adults to raise a healthy eater!
