Very Helpful
Date: Mar 10 2025SummaryI would highly recommend using Procare to manage a daycare/preschool. Without it, we would have to pay more administrative workers.
PositiveProcare allowed us to start up a daycare with professional integrations. We are able to create and manage leads, communicate with parents, clock in/out for staff and integrate with our payroll software, bill and receive payments seamlessly, etc. We can see who is here at a glance, and keep our classrooms in ratio with no problem. We can send incident reports, keep track of potty times, naps, meals, etc.
NegativeThere are a few minor things that I feel like could be improved on, but Procare welcomes feedback and is good to research what the users want and implement those things when practical.

PositiveThe ease of the program is the number one thing for me. Parents and teachers have access to their students from their phones or in class devices. They can check them in and out, send messages, and so much more.
NegativeSo far we haven't had any issues. We have used Procare for tuition fees for several years, but are now just getting into more of the options that are available for us to use.

Procare is Phenomal!
Date: Apr 21 2025SummaryProcare Solutions has been an incredibly valuable tool for our center over the past three years. It streamlines day-to-day operations, enhances communication with families, and gives us confidence in managing both staff and student records—all in one place. While there’s a bit of a learning curve and a few areas that could be more customizable, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. The platform is reliable, the features are thoughtfully designed, and the customer support is outstanding. I’d highly recommend Procare to any childcare provider looking to simplify their workflow and elevate the quality of their program.
PositiveUser-Friendly Interface: Easy to navigate, even for those who aren’t super tech-savvy.
All-in-One Management: Centralizes everything—children’s records, staff schedules, billing, attendance, communication, and more.
Excellent Customer Support: The support team is responsive, helpful, and solution-focused.
Time-Saving Features: Automates many administrative tasks, which frees up time for staff to focus on the kids.NegativeOccasional Glitches or Slowdowns: The system may experience brief lags or technical hiccups, though they’re usually resolved quickly.

Limited Customization in Some Areas: Certain features, like reports or notifications, could benefit from more flexible customization options.
Cost May Be a Factor: Depending on the size of your center and the features you need, the price may be a consideration for smaller programs. -

User friendly but could use a few updates
Date: Aug 31 2025SummaryI have enjoyed using Procare for the past year. I think it's a super easy. platform to implement and train new staff on.
PositiveThe ability to use the software as come fairly easy to all ages of our staff and parents. its very user friendly, simplistic and straight forward as to the information your looking to post as well as the information as a parent you may want to see.
NegativeI wish we had the ability to post photos in to messages to parents. This would be helpful to tell the story when sending messages.

On that note the uploading of pictures in the incident report area seem to run slow, which isn't idea when your notifying parents of an injury.
At the end of the school year we aren't able to extrapolate photos by child, year or class. This would be helpful when creating class yearbooks, graduation slide shows etc. -

Great Childcare Software
Updated: Oct 30 2025SummaryOverall Procare is a great software package. You have everything that is needed to operate a daycare center with one software package.
PositiveI really like the ability to send parents pictures or their children and updates for their activities. I love that one software package can provide everything that is needed to run a daycare center's daily activities.
NegativeI wish that Procare allowed for Parents to be directly billed for credit card fees. Due to this issue and the variability in how much the payment could vary we can't accept credit cards only ACH transfers.

Preschool Program Usage
Updated: May 23 2025SummaryWe are excited to make the switch and our teaching team is excited as well which is a large influence in my decision to select a program.
PositiveWe are excited to make the switch to Procare after a recommendation from another program in the area. We take photos of the students for families and being able to upload more than 1 at a time is huge for our program. We also like the ease of messaging families, keeping track of tuition payments, possible new students, and being able to track attendance and print emergency cards is a huge time saver for us.
NegativeWe haven't found anything about the program that would be a con for us at this time.
