    Excellent for what we need

    Date: Jul 16 2024
    Summary

    Overall we really like using Procare and will continue to do so for all of our programs! I haven't had a lot of need to contact customer service, but when I have, they have always been helpful and friendly.

    Positive

    We've used Procare for about 8 years for our Before and After School programs, and this summer started using it for our summer day camps as well. I like the PIN check in / out option, as well as the option to set up carpools so that parents / authorized pickups only have to remember one PIN. The pricing is very reasonable. The app works well for communication with parents.

    Negative

    I wish it was easier to activate participants in the app. We sometimes have kids who are registered for the program but have not attended in a long time, so we inactivate them. But then they show up for a drop in, and it's not easy to re-activate them from the app.

    It also takes quite a few clicks to get to the parent kiosk screen for parents to sign their kids in and out, and the steps aren't that intuitive. It would be nice to just have the parent kiosk with the PIN entry as a button on the front screen to get to it quickly.

    Use for communication and billing

    Date: Jun 08 2024
    Summary

    Procare is a comprehensive solution that integrates billing, attendance tracking, and parent communication into one platform. It streamlines administrative tasks and enhances the overall experience for providers and families. While it offers numerous benefits such as efficient billing, enhanced communication, and time-saving features, it may fall short in meeting licensing requirements for incident reporting in some jurisdictions, such as Virginia. Despite this drawback, Overall, Procare stands as a steadfast ally for childcare centers, empowering them to prioritize what truly counts: the well-being and development of the children under their care.

    Positive

    Procare is a total game-changer and easy to use. It combines billing, attendance tracking, and parent communication into one smooth system, slashing paperwork and streamlining operations. With automated billing, it saves time and ensures payments are on point, keeping cash flow steady. Plus, its communication tools like messaging and parent portals strengthen the bond between providers and families.

    Negative

    We are unable to use the incident and injury reporting because it does not meet Virginia licensing requirements, so we still use paper copies. Without robust incident reporting features, providers could end up doing a lot of manual work, risking errors, and possible licensing violations.

    Date: Oct 04 2024
    Summary

    I have had a great experience with Procare Solutions. Whenever we have needed help, customer service was always helpful. I love their billing platform the most. Easy to set up reoccurring invoices and also keep tract of subsidy payments.

    Positive

    I love Procare billing and how you can link siblings. It's also very easy to use. Customer service is also very helpful. It's very easy to keep track of subsidy payments as well.

    I don't like that they do no have a list of birthdates on the dashboard somewhere. Where it would be easier to see upcoming birthdates. I think the filters are a little hard to set up as well. Still haven't figured out how to use the filters to see upcoming birthdays.
