Boarding Door

We are prepping to move aboard our KK42 by the end of the month, and I'm finding that our 6 year old daughter has a very hard time getting on and off the boat. I will probably back the boat in to the slip so we can use the swim step and aft door for now. When we are away from our marina, backing in will not always be possible, and isn't much fun regardless. Wondering if anyone has done, or even seen, a modification to cut a boarding door into the midship section of the bulwarks? I did a bunch of searching and came up with similar questions but no evidence that someone has actually done this. The half door on the KK44 doesn't seem like it would really help, so I'm thinking of cutting out a section all the way to the deck.
I would love to learn from someone elses success or mistakes if possible.
