    Great school software

    Date: Jun 21 2024
    Summary

    I have really enjoyed using this program and the staff were great rolling us over into it. They spent a lot of time working with us and answered all questions in a timely manner. Even after 2 years if I have a question they will answer in the chat box with a great time period and have helped me out every time.

    Positive

    I like how easy it is to communicate with families and have all the clock in and out system all in one program.

    Negative

    I don't like how the emergency contacts entered by parents can not be labelled in order of preference they would want us to call.

    Positive

    Procare Solutions provides a sleek easy to use app along with a dashboard site that allows for my team to learn from attendance and activity data.

    Must have for small or large preschool!

    Date: Jun 17 2024
    Summary

    Overall I love the usability and cost of Procare. We use the contactless sign in everyday. Some parents use the kiosk and others just use their phones. Great features.

    Positive

    We love the contactless sign in for parents. It's easy to setup and use. We use this feature everyday for our parents to sign their children in and out.

    Negative

    The newsletter section needs more templates. It would be nice if we could upload a newsletter and send out.

    Using Procare in a day camp setting

    Date: Jun 18 2024
    Summary

    Overall, I appreciate Procare and will continue to use it. It's easy to use and I would definitely recommend it.

    Positive

    I liked Procare's ability to interact with parents at any time. It offers parents the ability to check-in at any time with us as well as maintain their payments. It helps staff keep track of attendance, important facts for each camper, and has the ability to share photos with families.

    Negative

    It could use a greater degree of flexibility when trying to set up a payment plan that covers the daily rate for a partial month without having to extend into the following month.

    Procare Review

    Date: Oct 04 2024
    Summary

    Great. I enjoy using the program. I feel like the support and guidance could be better and a little quicker on their end.

    Positive

    Ability to have tuition express
    Messaging is easy and fast with parents
    Logging child activities and diapers is simple and fast

    Negative

    There are connection errors or outages quite often
    We recently needed to get the door code fixed through Procare and it took about 3 months for it to be done which is a safety issue and was frustrating since it was all done through zoom and phone calls with the technician.

    A Daycare Software that Fits Our Needs

    Date: Jun 17 2024
    Summary

    Overall, this software fits the bill for what we want to offer to our families. Their fast, friendly and supportive customer service is great and it is easy to use.

    Positive

    Procare offers great solutions for our organization, especially for sign in and sign out, parent portal, and epayments. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TOP NOTCH!

    Negative

    There is some batch reporting I'd like to have, but it is not enough to detract from the other benefits the software provides for our before and after school care program.

    Procare needs a facelift

    Date: Nov 08 2024
    Summary

    Procare has been a pretty good resource but as time has gone on there are behind with technology. Their desktop system looks very old compared to other platforms on the market.

    Positive

    I like the all in one aspect where you can run your entire program using this software.

    Negative

    I don’t like that the software is only windows based therefore you cannot use Apple products for the desktop version. They are missing a lot of important report run options as well.

    Date: Jul 16 2024
    Summary

    Overall Procare is an amazing asset to our business. The parents and teachers can use it with ease and it makes things simple to have it all in one place.

    Positive

    I like that Procare has everything in one place- tuition, records, reports, teacher clock in/out, tax statements, parent messages, etc.

    There isn't anything that I don't like about Procare so far.

    User Friendly

    Date: Jul 16 2024
    Summary

    To leave Procare, move all my data, pay more and have a learning curve of a new program it would really have to WoW me.

    Positive

    I have used Procare daily for 27 years. I love the move to Procare Solutions. I was able to save $ and drop Quickbooks for the payroll. I can manage the center students, parent communication, staff and payroll all with one program. They just added a staff training feature so all the same features as the other programs available. I love being able to access it from anywhere. They have the best customer service, and they are well trained.

    Negative

    Is to many choices a problem? It can take a bit to find the correct report I need. If I can't find one I can use the data reports to create my own.

    Wonderful Resource!

    Updated: Oct 09 2024
    Summary

    Procare has been a success at our center. When other businesses call to offer their product we are happy to say we will stick with Procare.

    Positive

    Procare has a range of features that fit right into our Learning Center. One of our most favorite features is the option Kiosk! This allows our parents to sign in and out their children. Each authorized pick-up person has a code unique to them which increases security. We can also send reminders and messages for them to read while signing in/out.

    Negative

    The Desktop version Could be a little more modern.

    Procare :)

    Date: Aug 19 2024
    Summary

    Overall my experience has been positive and I think we made a great decision in moving to Procare :)

    Positive

    I appreciate the reports functions and formula billing! Customer support is always helpful, positive, and very informative! We have had a great amount of feedback from our families regarding how much they enjoy the versatility in updates, and the live updates and photos throughout the day

    Negative

    I think there are some opportunities for functionality that are overlooked. For example, we cannot edit the parent phone numbers through the desktop site and then have them synced through the dashboard online. Our teachers have voiced that they would like the ability to edit messages to correct small spelling errors or realign the message for further clarification. We can also not generate a report that reflects scheduled days vs attended days. - which would be helpful for corporate reporting. Also, having parents electronically sign incident/ accident and move-up sheets would be great.

    It's the Best

    Date: Jun 20 2024
    Summary

    Beyond great and my parents rave about it. My parents love that they can get reports and live updates as to what is going on in the class at the time. Seeing pictures of them really helps when the parents maybe having a difficult time.

    Positive

    Convenience, easy to operate, customer support is very helpful. The app provides directions on how to work it and where to find specific things if you are looking for them. It gives great tutorial videos too.

    Negative

    Sometimes the app crashes but that's not a big deal. It took some time getting used to, but most parents have the hang of it now.

    Procare Solutions

    Date: Jul 16 2024
    Summary

    I would recommend Procare to any childcare center. It is easy to use, your information is streamlined in one place, their customer service is always very responsive, and it is a great product for the price.

    Positive

    I like having our student's information in one place. It is very user friendly for both families and staff. We are a nature-based program and spend the majority of our time outdoors. It is very convenient to use the ProCare app on our phones to keep families updated on their child's day in real time.

    Negative

    I would like to have the option of having more than one form available for families to fill out.

    Great Quality, Great Customer Service

    Date: Nov 14 2024
    Summary

    Overall I love Procare and would recommend it to others. I see Procare making changes to support the customer daily.

    Positive

    I like the ease of use, on going updates, time saving, money saving, and the ability to access anywhere. Procare changed the filing method for our records and has given us the ability to work more efficiently.

    Negative

    The following are cons for Procare

    1. We can not delete items that was uploaded to a profile in error.
    2. We can not add daily customized activities for staff such as notes, etc.
    3. Customize user access especially in the event of custody issues/domestic violence, etc.
    4. Newsletter draft, sent, and scheduled should be in folders per user and/or classroom according to how it is set up. Each user can only see their own newsletter or class newsletter. Admin can see all newsletter.
    5. There should be different levels of Admin. There should be a Super Admin option where others can not change unless they are Super Admin.
    6. There should be ability to click a button to add a Custody, Domestic Violence, Epi Pen, Asthma icon next to each child on the web and the app.
    7. All ability to add calendar activities to on the web without the sending it to the parent.
    8. All some authorized escorts the ability to get send and receive pick up/drop off messages so that they can stay informed or notify us of any issues, etc.
