C-K Kids: The Online Business Management Software for Family Child Care Providers is now available! This web-based program is the most complete business management tool designed specifically for family child care providers.

The result of a partnership between Redleaf Press and SkyHill Software, C-K Kids will save providers hundreds of hours of time and lower their taxes! In addition, Tom Copeland, Director of Redleaf National Institute, has designed many new record-keeping and tax features for the program.

Eliminate time-consuming calculations, create Food Program-approved forms and menus, and keep track of parent payments, expenses, and mileage with the easy-to-use C-K Kids. C-K Kids contains all of the information found on the Calendar-Keeper, plus many new features. Use C-K Kids to:

• generate menus and reports that meet all the Food Program requirements
• calculate time-space percentage
• organize your business deductions into the proper categories
• keep accurate records of meal counts to meet IRS requirements

Like the Calendar-Keeper, C-K Kids software uses the same language as IRS tax forms for an easy transfer of information at tax time. This new software also allows providers to specify business-use percentage at the time of purchase to help maximize potential deductions for bigger tax savings.

C-K Kids also keeps track of child information including health forms, emergency contacts, birthdays, and daily activities and generates professional-looking forms such as bills, receipts, schedules, charts, and certificates.

Use the Calendar-Keeper and C-K Kids software together for the greatest benefit. The Calendar-Keeper remains the best-designed calendar for family child care providers. Keep it available for quick notes and references. Its at-a-glance nature makes it a great tool for the busy provider, while the C-K Kids program will save providers time and money by keeping track of the business of family child care.
