    4.  Request Your API Credentials

To connect your CCMS to KinderConnect, the registered operator will need to contact KinderSystems Support at 833-859-3433. A support agent will enable your account and provide your ID and group password that will need to be entered in your CCMS​


    5.  Transmit Attendance from your CCMS to KinderConnect

Daily attendance is collected to your CCMS. Once the monthly service period ends, providers will transmit the attendance to KinderConnect. The steps to transmit should be provided by your CCMS support.


    6.  Review and Submit Attendance to AZ DES

Providers may need to correct, add absences or missed attendance, before submitting the attendance for payment.
