The screens

What a center and its sponsor do in BloomCare

One family, one month: from the form to the claim.

  1. Parent signs.

  2. Center marks meals.

  3. Sponsor claims.

Enrollment and eligibilityCenters

Parents sign on their phone. No account, no paper.

The center emails a link. It opens one family's enrollment and income eligibility form, in English or Spanish. The signed PDF is saved to the child's record.

  • One link opens one family's form
  • Signed PDF saved on the child's record
  • Eligibility category saved with the form
  • Parent picks English or Spanish

Renewals and expirationCenters

Every form has an expiration date. BloomCare keeps count.

A child's Forms tab shows what is current, when it runs out and what is missing. The children list shows who still owes a signature.

  • Signature due shown on the children list
  • Missing forms flagged per child
  • Renewal forms for returning families

Attendance and mealsCenters

Attendance and meals, marked in the room

Pick the classroom and the day. Mark who came, then tap breakfast, lunch, snack or supper for each child. A tablet is enough.

  • Breakfast, lunch, snacks and supper
  • Daily menu, menu calendar and food list
  • Allergy alerts beside each child

Sponsor oversightSponsors

A sponsor sees every center's claim on one screen

Monthly Claims lists each sponsored center with its claim status and PDF. View as center opens a center's own screens, without sharing a login.

  • Claims for all centers, month by month
  • Withdrawn centers kept separate
  • View as center, no shared passwords

Claims and reportsCenters and sponsors

The claim comes from the meal counts

Meals marked each day feed the claim worksheet, the 12-month claim summary and the weekly counts. Participant lists export to Excel.

Center records and staffCenters

A login for each staff member

Directors add staff and choose what each login can open and change. Center licenses and inspections are kept with their dates.

Why it works

Built around how centers and sponsors work

BloomCare comes from hands-on experience with how CACFP sponsors operate: what they need to oversee, and what centers need to keep simple. The directors, cooks and teachers at its centers shaped each screen.

Simple on purpose
Each screen does one job. No long menus or pages of settings to learn first.
No retyping
Families fill in and sign the forms themselves. Staff review them instead of retyping them.
Problems show early
Sponsors see forms due and alerts for every center while the month is open, not at claim time.
One login, every center
A sponsor switches between centers, or views one exactly as its director sees it.
A teacher reading to children in a classroom while parents look on
A child's lunch: chicken, broccoli, applesauce and a cup of milk
A bilingual classroom wall with numbers and a birthday board
A printed weekly preschool menu: breakfast, lunch and snacks for each weekday

11,000+ forms signed online, not on paper.

Questions centers and sponsors ask

Something else? Email support@bloomcare.com.

Who is BloomCare for?

Child care centers and the sponsoring organizations that oversee them in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Centers manage families, forms, attendance and meals; sponsors oversee claims and compliance across their centers.

How is BloomCare billed?

By subscription, monthly or yearly. Email support@bloomcare.com for pricing for your center or sponsor organization.

Do parents need an account?

No. Each family gets a secure link by email that opens only their own form. They fill it in and sign on a phone, tablet or computer.

Is it available in Spanish?

Yes. Parent forms, signing pages and staff screens are in English and Spanish, and each person chooses their language.

Can a sponsor see all of its centers?

Yes. A sponsor login shows every center it sponsors: monthly claims, forms due, alerts and center status. Sponsors can also view a center exactly as its director sees it.

Can we move our existing centers over?

Yes. We move them for you: we set up each center, its staff logins and its families, so your centers start with their records in place.

Can we control what each staff member sees?

Yes. Center directors create staff logins and choose what each one can open and change.

What do we need to install?

Nothing. BloomCare runs in any up-to-date web browser on a computer, tablet or phone.

How is family information protected?

Data is encrypted in transit, access is limited by role, and signed forms are kept in access-controlled storage. Our Privacy Policy has the details.
