Procare: Bridging the Gap Between Care Providers and Parents
Updated: Aug 20 2024SummaryI like Procare and will continue to use it. It serves the needs of my program. Parents have no complaints about the service and appreciate that we have it.
PositiveEase of use: easy to use features, even my older teachers can post efficiently.
Billing: I like that you can use autopay and one-time invoices. I like that I can accept one-time credit card payments as well.NegativeI like how there is an online registration and can collect the fee, however, it does not integrate seamlessly into the child's profile. A lot of information needs to be put in manually.

Love Procare!
Date: Aug 19 2024SummaryMy overall experience has been very positive. Procare has been easy for staff, parents and me to use! It takes very little to set someone up and everyone starts to use it within minutes. It is very intuitive.
PositiveThe implementation was easy and the features are great! I love that I can track my leads and current children and families in one place. Also keep track of my staff and their schedules in one place. Sending messages to parents, staff and also sending out newsletters and menus is so easy! Procare has helped me become more organized and saved me so much time. Whenever I have a question or problem their customer service has been helpful!
NegativeI cannot really think of anything that has been problematic. If I had to come up with something I would say that they could come up with more newsletter patterns or change them up more often. Some of the ones they have are hard to see and are just solid colors so they are kind of boring!

Procare review
Date: Nov 18 2024SummaryOverall, my experience with Procare has been smooth sailing. Procare updates the system regularly and is very helpful when you need them for anything.
PositiveProcare is very user friendly and easy to navigate when introducing the system to our new teachers. Procare provides tutorials on how to navigate the system which helps a lot.
NegativeSomething I do not like is not being to copy and paste newsletters from the different centers, since we are a multi center facility. If Procare is able to change that feature, then I would not have any cons.

Excellent for what we need
Date: Jul 16 2024SummaryOverall we really like using Procare and will continue to do so for all of our programs! I haven't had a lot of need to contact customer service, but when I have, they have always been helpful and friendly.
PositiveWe've used Procare for about 8 years for our Before and After School programs, and this summer started using it for our summer day camps as well. I like the PIN check in / out option, as well as the option to set up carpools so that parents / authorized pickups only have to remember one PIN. The pricing is very reasonable. The app works well for communication with parents.
NegativeI wish it was easier to activate participants in the app. We sometimes have kids who are registered for the program but have not attended in a long time, so we inactivate them. But then they show up for a drop in, and it's not easy to re-activate them from the app.
Read More...
It also takes quite a few clicks to get to the parent kiosk screen for parents to sign their kids in and out, and the steps aren't that intuitive. It would be nice to just have the parent kiosk with the PIN entry as a button on the front screen to get to it quickly. -

Use for communication and billing
Date: Jun 08 2024SummaryProcare is a comprehensive solution that integrates billing, attendance tracking, and parent communication into one platform. It streamlines administrative tasks and enhances the overall experience for providers and families. While it offers numerous benefits such as efficient billing, enhanced communication, and time-saving features, it may fall short in meeting licensing requirements for incident reporting in some jurisdictions, such as Virginia. Despite this drawback, Overall, Procare stands as a steadfast ally for childcare centers, empowering them to prioritize what truly counts: the well-being and development of the children under their care.
PositiveProcare is a total game-changer and easy to use. It combines billing, attendance tracking, and parent communication into one smooth system, slashing paperwork and streamlining operations. With automated billing, it saves time and ensures payments are on point, keeping cash flow steady. Plus, its communication tools like messaging and parent portals strengthen the bond between providers and families.
NegativeWe are unable to use the incident and injury reporting because it does not meet Virginia licensing requirements, so we still use paper copies. Without robust incident reporting features, providers could end up doing a lot of manual work, risking errors, and possible licensing violations.
