    Procare: Bridging the Gap Between Care Providers and Parents

    Updated: Aug 20 2024
    Summary

    I 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.

    Positive

    Ease 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.

    Negative

    I 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.
    Customer service is not always quick to respond, but it has gotten better over the last year.

    Date: Nov 08 2024
    Summary

    Procare is a wonderful asset that we added to our school. It provides easy access to records and is helpful with parent communication. We would recommend this to other programs.

    Positive

    We like that our families can easily pay online and we can also refund pretty easily as well!
    It also gives us easy access for families and staff members with invoices and important information.

    Negative

    We wish we could delete old student records from the database.

    Makes Paperwork a Breeze

    Updated: Aug 26 2024

    Positive

    I love that I can go to one place to quickly find information. Saves time on paperwork. Records many types of information.

    Love Procare!

    Date: Aug 19 2024
    Summary

    My 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.

    Positive

    The 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!

    Negative

    I 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 2024
    Summary

    Overall, my experience with Procare has been smooth sailing. Procare updates the system regularly and is very helpful when you need them for anything.

    Positive

    Procare 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.

    Negative

    Something 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 2024
    Summary

    Overall 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.

    Positive

    We'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.

    Negative

    I 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.

    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 2024
    Summary

    Procare 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.

    Positive

    Procare 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.

    Negative

    We 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.
