    We have had Procare since the start of our company!

    Date: Jun 03 2024
    Summary

    Overall, Procare is amazing. We have built our company up using this system and it has kept us consistent as we have grown.

    Positive

    Procare is a great software for managing our childcare center. We have used it for 20 years, and as it continues to improve, it gets better and better. The accounting features is our number one reason for staying with Procare. All other platforms are always missing one piece that Procare has. Being able to manage staff, families and accounting all in one place truly makes our job easier. Once learning and understanding the platforms it is very user friendly. Procare's support team is great, very responsive and very helpful.

    Negative

    Even though we love most things about Procare, we do wish it had some features so that we could eliminate all other systems. Such as a two-way communication between the parents and admin outside of the app. Having a way to send a mass email to all of the parents and having them just respond to the email it came from.

    Date: Nov 05 2024

    After using two other Childcare platform Procare has made the most sense for our center and has been user friendly and excellent for our staff and families.

    School App

    Date: May 09 2024
    Summary

    Overall, this is a good app for a childcare company or school to use you were able to update families on how the child’s day is going. You can do observations as well as send messages to staff and families, and you can include billing into the app where families are able to pay tuition. Everything is in real time and families are able to get updated instantly, the app is very user-friendly.

    Positive

    My favorite part of the app is the mood section where I can update families on how a child is feeling by using by picking a mood and then adding what they did or how they feel. Uploading pictures and videos is easy as well as updating meals, bathrooms, and communicating with families. It is all easy.

    Negative

    Will get an update about a server error therefore I am unable to use the app. Sometimes the picture and name of the child does not match. I have to refresh the app in order to get it to work.

    Procare is the Best!!!

    Date: Nov 08 2024
    Summary

    Overall I have been using pro care for a little over a year now in different centers and I absolutely love it!!!

    Positive

    I like how close contact we can be with the parents and how fast we are able to message with the parents back and forth. Keeping families updated with notes and pictures. Billing is also amazing and easy managed. Along with being able to keep in contact with employees also. Procare is a great program all around.

    Negative

    What I don't like it maintenance if there are issues it so hard to get in touch with someone to help. Even when we finally reach someone, we are always on an extended hold time which is a major inconvenience at times.

    Procare for Daycare

    Date: Oct 04 2024
    Summary

    This is a great software option for large or small scale programs with many options. We like the attendance tracking and the Tuition Express options even though we ceased to use those now.

    Positive

    We like the attendance and billing for account management options with the free basic package, we do not have a subscription. We have had great experiences with customer service.

    Negative

    We have tried the Tuition Express, Family Engagement and iCloud package too. We will try that at a later time when we grow as a program or transition to all day childcare too.
