Arux is now certified to integrate via API with KinderSystems, a student information system (SIS) that provides flexible and secure child care subsidy solutions for states. Specifically, Arux completed the certification process to connect through KinderBridge v3.5 into several states, including Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, New York, and Arizona.
Trends in state subsidy increases and data organization
The after school industry is seeing increased child care subsidies within certain states for providers and an overall federal push for states to increase payments to child care providers. Some recent programs receiving increased funding from the state include:
Minnesota’s Great Start Compensation Support Payment Program
Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) program from the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care
The rise in these programs and the increases in state spending on child care subsidies show that this is an increasing market economy for providers.
However, with increased spending comes the need for more organization and efficiency in managing and reporting student data. In response, states are implementing systems to centralize their reporting. These systems are being mandated from small, home-run daycares to more enterprise, larger-scale district before and after care operations.
Many states are moving toward requiring a solution, like KinderSystems, to manage their attendance information. With this latest integration between Arux and KinderSystems, organizations can ensure they’re unlocking the full amount of subsidies available and know they have a true enterprise solution to meet state-mandated needs.
Send data directly to states for subsidy reporting
With this latest integration, districts and providers using Arux to manage their before- and after-school child programs can send data directly to the state for reporting requirements, including child name, date, in-time, and out-time. No additional reporting or workflows are needed, creating efficiencies across your organization.
