We prefer Procare
Updated: Nov 27 2024SummaryAs a small business owner, I wanted a product that maximized my "bang for my buck," and this was it. I love how much I get for the very reasonable price. It makes many aspects of running the center easier, from an admin point of view, because so much is easily accessible on one screen.
PositiveProcare is user friendly and does "the bare minimum" for those just starting out and new to the platform. Once you get comfortable with the basics, I love that it has a ton of other, more advanced features that can be utilized. I chose Procare because it's an "all in one" for me - billing, child and employee data management, timecards, parent app, etc. all in one place and for one price.
NegativeI would like to see more customization options, even just aesthetic ones such as matching your platform to your brand colors, fonts, etc.

Lifetime User!
Date: Nov 08 2024SummaryI love Procare and have been using this software for over 20 years. This software has evolved over time, and the recent updates and additional functions keep us up to date.
PositiveProcare Solutions provides all the features and functions you need to improve your daily operations.

PositiveEase of use, Signing in and out for parent use. Connecting staff and imputing/logging child activities.

Twice our debit card has been charged without actually receiving an invoice.
After requesting our latest invoice from an account manager, I asked some questions and have yet to receive any response after nearly a month. I also left a voicemail for the account manager. No return call. As I paid the invoice, apparently, they didn't feel the need to respond. -

Efficient Child Care Management Software
Date: Aug 19 2024SummaryProcare has significantly improved our administrative efficiency and organization. It allows us to focus more on delivering quality care and education, and I highly recommend it to any child care center looking for reliable, robust management software.
PositiveProcare software has been an essential tool in our early childhood center for over 12 years. Its user-friendly interface makes registration and maintaining electronic student files straightforward, while the automatic billing feature has greatly streamlined our financial processes. The software’s tracking tools for immunizations and physicals are invaluable for staying compliant, and the wide range of customizable reports, like birthdays and immunizations due, helps us stay organized.
NegativeI wish there was a better system for our out-of-school learning program; currently, parents need to register for each camp and re-register every school year, and there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to manage that. Additionally, for our early childhood side, the Parent Connect app did not work as well as another child care management software, so we are paying for two different systems. Some of the more advanced features and modules also come at an extra cost, which might be a consideration for centers looking to fully optimize their system without increasing expenses.

Procare makes life so much easier!
Date: Jun 18 2024SummaryOverall my Procare experience has be very great! There are many features that make everything easier, both parent and teacher wise. All of our families are updated daily on how their child is doing. And the staff is very nice and always willing to help when we have questions.
PositiveI love the variety of everything you can do on Procare. It is very easy to do billing on there and very easy for parents to set it up as well. It is also very easy to use for the teachers to contact and update parents on their child's day. The staff is always very helpful and willing to help if you have questions.
NegativeSometimes setting up a new child's profile is difficult if they come from the leads, we have to manually input the basic information (birthday, days attending, allergies, etc) when all of that information is in the leads, it would be easier if it all automatically was put in.
