    Procare in a Language Immersion Preschool

    Date: Oct 07 2024
    Summary

    Our experience is that we use Procare every day for managing and running our school. It is integral to our everyday procedures in many different aspects.

    Positive

    We use Procare for many different features that are integral to our day-to-day operation. We use it for attendance tracking, billing, payroll, and parent communication.

    Negative

    The cons are that there are more features that we have not explored yet. We are looking forward to eventually learning about the features that we are underutilizing.

    So intuitive and user friendly!!

    Date: Oct 04 2024
    Summary

    We love Procare and will continue to use it even with slick sales calls from other vendors! It does everything we need and is easy to use.

    Positive

    The app and website are both intuitive and easy to navigate, even for our more technology challenged parents. We can easily send pictures, videos, and messages as well as keep up with attendance records.

    Negative

    There seem to be frequent bugs that hinder the use of the email feature when we need to add pictures. It requires using a different browser or clearing the cache and restarting the program. In the busyness of a preschool day, no one has time for that.

    Procare Review

    Date: Oct 04 2024
    Summary

    It's a great program for organizing student data. I also wish there was a way to customize a registration for that families could enter their information directly into Procare as they register for various programs.

    Positive

    Being able to house all student data in one space is helpful. Messaging systems are also beneficial for program/home communication.

    Negative

    Student data is not easily searched when they are classified as inactive. We have students who enter and exit various programs across the Museum. Because some inactive students are sometimes missed, we end up with duplicates. We are not able to delete or merge the duplicate entries.

    Date: Jun 18 2024
    Summary

    Good customer service, most applications are relevant to the day to day administration for a preschool. Great all-in-one platform!

    Positive

    I love that we can use this as an all-in-platform for childcare management. I use Procare for waitlist management, enrollment, tuition, daily reports, and more!

    Negative

    There are a few features I would still love to see. For example, as the director, I'd like the option to communicate confidentially with families without involving other staff members.

    Date: Aug 19 2024
    Summary

    I’m thankful for the efficiency of the entire Procare system. It allows us to focus on the important part of the childcare - the children.

    Positive

    Simplified tracking attendance and payments. Procare is a lifesaver! We always know how many children are in attendance in each classroom. We can simply click and get parents contact information and payment history. Parents sign in their children and make payments.

    Negative

    We are completely satisfied with the Procare system.

    Essential Tool for our Preschool

    Date: Nov 08 2024
    Summary

    We implemented this during Covid and it was critical and its now the core of our program in terms of communicating with our families.

    Positive

    Procare keeps our school organized, teachers informed and myself the director in the loop on many issues!
    Its also a quick at a glance attendance tool and an easy way to send families quick reminders at a moment's notice.

    Negative

    Not too many!
    Would like students to be able to be part of different classrooms and not just moved or transferred. Some of our students do half days, some full and some do extra programming. I would like to have communities for all of those but it seems we can only keep a student in one spot.
