Overall enjoy Procare
Date: Oct 04 2024SummaryOverall we really enjoy Procare. We had another system previously and while it was nice on the parent side, the management side of things it was horrible. Procare offers a good product for both parent engagement and management.
PositiveI enjoy the ease and support Procare provides. For the first time we were able to have all of our systems under one umbrella, making our day-to-day management easier. Having everything in Procare has made that easier. We enjoy the parent connection and having an easy way to communicate. The support team is outstanding! Whenever we have an issue, they have a resource to help guide us.
NegativeI wish that some of the upcoming features were available sooner. There are a few areas that I think could be improved and with these updates they will, just waiting for those to happen. Also, the reports section is lacking a little. I would like to be able to create a report and have it in a convenient to print format, which it is not.

Happy customer for over 20 years
Date: Oct 07 2024SummaryMy husband and I have been using Procare to run our daycare business for over twenty years. After selling the business during Covid, the new owners were using a different product. When I agreed to return and run the business for them, we switched back to Procare from another daycare management software. I feel that when it comes to managing the data and creating the necessary reports no other program is as good.
PositiveThe customer support is amazing. Whenever I have a question or am unable to make a report, someone from the Procare team is right there to assist me. The reports are outstanding and make it so easy to manage the day-to-day operations. From sign in sheets to attendance logs. emergency information, all of it can be sorted and reported with ease.
NegativeI do feel as though the parent interface could be made stronger. The parent access to billing and customer statements could be easier as well. Many parents wish they had the capabilities of setting their payment dates.

All In One Solution!
Date: Oct 04 2024SummaryWe are a 200+ student school that has been in business for over 40 years. We have tried several registration, contact management and accounting software’s in the past. Procare desktop combined with the engagement app for teachers/parents is the only one that has been able to help us streamline our registration, payment and communication processes all in one place. They have been responsive in answering questions and creating solutions to new hurdles. Our office staff is happy with the flexible data processing, our teachers were able to utilize the app easily from day one and our parents are relieved to finally have the ease of access to communication, daily updates and billing that they expect in this day and age. Procare came highly recommended and for good reason.
PositiveHandles all the aspects of running our school. Great support when rarely needed. We are thrilled to have one place to handle accounting, attendance and communication and so are our parents.
NegativeTook awhile to learn and get up to speed on how best to utilize for our purposes.

Procare User for Years
Date: Oct 04 2024SummaryI like Procare. I think it has everything I need as a center director but would love some upgrades in functionality and a more stream-lined approach.
PositiveProcare encompasses most all of the facets of childcare into one program. From record keeping, attendance, staff schedules, immunizations... it is all there.
NegativeThe system can feel a little clunky, as in when you're entering info. It is not easy to change dates, numbers and there are always error messages. It has not been upgraded since I started using it eight years ago, and this can take me a very long time when entering children's info.

Procare for the win!
Date: Oct 04 2024SummaryOur transition to Procare and daily usage since then have been very easy and customer oriented. I can tell that employees of Procare care about their product as well as the customer.
PositiveCustomer service is wonderful! Everyone I have talked to have been very knowledgeable, patient and quick. The integration from our old system was seamless. My suggestions for improving are taken seriously and was even submitted for review which, I think, says a lot about a company and their willingness to serve customers.
NegativeThe wait time for customer service is long. I know that I have to set aside time in order to call to receive help.

Procare is the Solution for communication
Updated: Apr 16 2024SummaryWe have been pleased with Procare at our center. Parents, especially the ones new to childcare, love the idea of managing their billing, sending us messages, and communicating with teachers all on one app. I love looking at pictures that teachers post.
PositiveThe app is easy to send messages and posts in real time to parents. As an administrator, I can scroll through the classroom activities and post as well as monitor messages.
NegativeSometimes there is a need for an update and we will have issues with use. Parents will be frustrated when they can't sign in their child but this is really our only issue.

Procare has it all
Date: Jun 18 2024SummaryI have used Procare for 15+ years and would not consider any other child care software. Every feature you could want is included in ProCare and Tuition Express.
PositiveFor us the best feature is the keyless entry and the ability for parents to sign kids in and out and then the door unlocks. I also love Tuition Express and the ease of billing and collecting tuition.
NegativeCustomer Service. This is definitely and area for improvement.

LOVE Procare
Date: Oct 01 2024SummaryOverall, I LOVE Procare. Although we are a new child care center with limited funds, Procare is a priority!
PositiveProcare Solutions makes parent sign in/out a breeze and allows us to easily print reports that help with completing payroll and subsidy reimbursement. Procare Desktop has functions to help calculate private and subsidy billing quickly.
NegativeWe switched from the online only version to the desktop version, which took several Zoom call trainings to learn how to use all the functions of the desktop version. However, once we got the hang of the desktop version, it has a lot of functions that help make my work as a director more efficient. On the flip side, there are functions that can only be done on the desktop version, which means I have to have my laptop available. For example, if a parent asks what their balance is, I am unable to view it on my cell/online and have to wait until I am able to get back to my office to give them that info. Prior to switching to the desktop version, I could easily look that info up online.
