    Very Helpful

    Date: Mar 10 2025
    Summary

    I would highly recommend using Procare to manage a daycare/preschool. Without it, we would have to pay more administrative workers.

    Positive

    Procare 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.

    Negative

    There 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.

    Summary

    We have started using the program more recently and I have found it to be asset to our program. It has made record keeping, tracking and attendance so helpful

    Positive

    The 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.

    Negative

    So 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 2025
    Summary

    Procare 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.

    Positive

    User-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.

    Negative

    Occasional 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.

    Date: Oct 20 2025
    Summary

    Functionality and customer service have both deteriorated significantly over the years. We use Procare for all business functions but have begun searching for a new solution.

    Positive

    Variety of features that fit perfectly with our business needs. Low cost. Family functionality is good.

    Negative

    Integrations don't function, credit card errors are frequent, customer service is awful these days. Low cost is less appealing when things don't work.

    Date: Aug 31 2025
    Summary

    I have enjoyed using Procare for the past year. I think it's a super easy. platform to implement and train new staff on.

    Positive

    The 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.

    Negative

    I 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 2025
    Summary

    Overall Procare is a great software package. You have everything that is needed to operate a daycare center with one software package.

    Positive

    I 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.

    Negative

    I 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 2025
    Summary

    We 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.

    Positive

    We 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.

    Negative

    We haven't found anything about the program that would be a con for us at this time.
