Procare Review
Date: Aug 19 2024SummaryMy overall experience is good. I would never consider being with another company. They have treated us really well.
PositiveI love having everything in one location. The employees are always helpful and kind whenever I have any questions.
NegativeProcare's partnership with Learning Beyond Paper could use a lot of updates. I do not know if it is an error on Procare of Learning beyond. PDF's are blurry, curriculum themes don't match up, resource lists are inaccurate. One other con is to be able to use their application on a mobile device or tablet it has to be new enough. Which is a bummer for a lot of our families because they can only utilize Procare online.

Procare for our school
Date: Jul 16 2024Summaryit's been positive and streamlined. We appreciate the all in one bucket app and the parents are much easier to reach through messaging than through their email.
PositiveWe like the integration with gusto and quickbooks as well as the ease of having parent communication, payment and attendance all in one place.
Negativeit can be clunky. When you send out a school wide message, your inbox shows that message to every single family instead of one message with a group.

It is overall a great experience
Date: Oct 07 2024SummaryIt is a great experience with the ease to use. But the repair part can be hard to coordinate the technician of Procare and the local electrician. It will be better if the Procare can send someone directly from Procare team for the repair.
PositiveThe daily update platform is my favorite part. Also, I love the sign in/out by GPS. It is easy to send group messages when it comes to urgent announcement.
NegativeWhen it comes to repairs, especially involving hardware and software, it is hectic to coordinate the repair.

Procare Rating
Date: Nov 08 2024SummaryOverall I will recommend this software to other facilities. Its user friendly and very useful for teachers and admin
PositiveIts easy to navigate and user friendly. Everything is located under one application. Easy for parent to receive information in regards to their children
NegativeAs a center, we must following procedures of DHS. One feature I would like to change is the uploading of parents and also items that they can change. This conflicts with and pose a risk when it comes to picking up and releasing children.

Procare System
Date: Aug 19 2024SummaryProcare is a great communication tool to use in your childcare setting. It is easy to track which children in you center and employees. You are easily able to keep your rooms in compliance with ratio numbers. What I really like is everything is right in your hands, you have all these records, contact numbers, billing information making things easy for you. My staff and I really like the messaging feature. They are able to get answers to their questions fast and share information. We like using Procare.
PositiveI really like the whole communication aspect of Procare. We are able to share information to parents as it's happening and then can in return reciprocate. I love that we don't have to do the old paper communication, and it saves so much time doing it electronically.
NegativeI have found using automatic billing feature that if a child is missing a sign in or sign out time that the system doesn't bill anything but most of all there is not error report or message that indicate that happened. We have found a lot of time wasn't billed and had to go back and figure that out.

We were very hopeful but ultimately the SaaS offering we couldn't use
Date: Aug 31 2022SummaryWe got stuck on the inability to meet our billing needs. We tried a few possible manual options but they weren't scalable.
PositiveGreat feature set! This platform seems to shine over others we tested was automations, ratio tracking alerts and staff tracking look awesome.
NegativeUnfortunately they do not support pre-monthly billing based on the variable billable days in a month. Also they don't have an Cwelcc support (reporting/subsidy) at this time.
