    Procare Solutions is Great!

    Date: Mar 10 2025
    Summary

    I have had a great experience with Procare. Any issues I have they are resolved quickly and the customer service is great.

    Positive

    Child information, staff information, billing, etc., all in one place. It is great. Easy to use. Customer service is excellent.

    Negative

    I wish Procare and Family Engagement would sync staff sign-in and out. That would make it so much easier to keep track like I do for the children.

    Summary

    Overall, Procare has been efficient. It provides billing, day to day use for families and adding students is really easy.

    Versatile and Robust Software

    Updated: Mar 13 2025
    Summary

    Overall it gives us many options we wouldn't be able to do manually due to the amount of time it would take!

    Positive

    We love how easy it is to collect payments and the vision it provides us for real time record keeping!

    Negative

    Difficult to run reports, not compatible with Apple and sometimes mobile phones, wish their was a way parents could provide a signature during the online registration process, pay at the checkout kiosk using the app at sign out.

    Ease to Use

    Date: Feb 11 2025
    Summary

    Since using the app, it's been a useful tool that helped improve communication with parents. Seems more personal and parents are updated throughout the day which parents enjoy

    Positive

    As an admin using the desktop version, we can easily monitor real-time number ratios, which is highly beneficial. The communication section facilitates seamless interaction with both parents and staff. Additionally, the newsletter feature is a convenient tool for sharing updates.

    Negative

    We are still exploring the Assessment section to better understand its functionality and how to tailor it to fit our center's needs.

    Great tool for daycares

    Date: Feb 22 2025
    Summary

    I have loved Procare! It is amazing as a teacher because it allows me to stay connected with parents while they trust their child to be in my care!

    Positive

    I’ve used Procare at two different daycares and have loved it! I have also used a different app (Tadpoles), so I have something to compare against and I’d choose Procare 100%.
    I love how easy it is to message parents through the app and stay connected.
    It is nice that you can put in an activity for multiple kids at once.

    Negative

    I’ve used this app for a while and I still don’t quite understand how to put my lesson plans in?
    Or how the evulations work on there but it will be a process of me trying to figure it out!
    Would be nice to have a place for teachers to see attendance for the week
    Would be better if health checks did not need to be “approved”

    Procare

    Date: Jun 28 2024
    Summary

    We have been happy with Procare over the years. The last two years have been a lot of changes and some growing pains. We are hoping for more clarity in the future.

    Positive

    Procare Desktop has been a reliable and great way to track time cards and billing. We have been mostly happy customers and have used Procare for over 15 years. For much of that time, Procare has outshined all other options. We use the Procare desktop every day. Customer Support has improved, and we are seeing quicker responses than before.

    Negative

    Even with utilizing the training opportunities, the implementation of the Online version has been confusing and rocky. The greatest flaw is the Online and Desktop do not sync or "communicate" on all subjects. We want to try to utilize Procare Online since we have been forced to pay for it. But it has been a daunting task to undertake.

    Precise Procare

    Date: Jul 16 2024
    Summary

    It has been a pleasant, professional and precise experience on Procare. It would be helpful to speak to someone although the emails are effective communication.

    Positive

    Procare is timely and effective in communicating and bridging the gap between home and school. Procare has clear videos and photo abilities.

    Negative

    An opportunity to speak to a customer service representative instead of just emailing support

    Happy with this product

    Date: Aug 19 2024
    Summary

    Overall, I do enjoy this product and love when they come out with advancements to make it even better. I think the app itself is so efficient, however, I do think that the website could be a bit more streamlined.

    Positive

    Procare really does have many features available to teachers and administration to help provide strong communication between school and home. Adding in meals, bottles, nap, etc. are so simple and take mere seconds. The teachers are so busy so having that is so important to the management of their day.

    Negative

    The app is great but on the admin side who login to the website there is a lot of clicking to get to particular information. For example, I would love to click on the child's picture and have access to not only their profile information but also to their daily report. Also, it would be so simple in I can click on the child's picture on the main screen to quickly log them in/out. There are a lot of great features but sometimes it is just so cumbersome to get to them all. Would love to cut down on the clicking and have it more streamlined.

    Procare - ease of use

    Date: Jul 18 2024
    Summary

    I am a fan of the product and would recommend it to other preschools or centers. It has eased the burden on the front desk since they have fewer phone calls to field - each classroom can communicate directly with parents and vice-versa.

    Positive

    Procare provides a convenient way to communicate with parents without giving out a personal cell number. We use it daily to track attendance throughout the center.

    Negative

    Not much. There were a few issues with the app disconnecting early on, but those issues have been resolved.

    Date: Jun 20 2024
    Summary

    I love everything about Procare. I hope for the functionality of the curriculum /lesson planning to be worked out soon!

    Positive

    Appearance, dependable functionality. The all in one solutions is accurate and makes for efficiency!

    Negative

    Clunky curriculum process, it takes teachers many clicks to search/assign to weekly plan. Also, the graphic appearance of printed menus, schedules, and lesson plans is very poor quality.

    Great for Centers

    Date: Aug 19 2024
    Summary

    This is a great software for childcare centers. it is nice to have almost everything sync from the desktop program to the engagement app. It is user friendly and usually easy for the parents to use.

    Positive

    Most info is synced across all platforms. Most parents have an easy time utilizing the engagement app. It keeps up with any information that you want. You can add in different tracking items to personalize to your center.

    Negative

    Not all of the info syncs across platforms. There are some items we have to add into the engagement app from the desktop.
