Bethany Learning Daycare Review
Date: Aug 19 2024SummaryWhat I liked least about Procare Solutions is that the initial setup can be complex and overwhelming for new users.

The real-time updates and communication features enhance transparency and trust between caregivers and families.

Great school software
Date: Jun 21 2024SummaryI have really enjoyed using this program and the staff were great rolling us over into it.

Even after 2 years if I have a question they will answer in the chat box with a great time period and have helped me out every time.
PositiveI like how easy it is to communicate with families and have all the clock in and out system all in one program.
NegativeI don't like how the emergency contacts entered by parents can not be labelled in order of preference they would want us to call.

We recently needed to get the door code fixed through Procare and it took about 3 months for it to be done which is a safety issue and was frustrating since it was all done through zoom and phone calls with the technician. -

Procare needs a facelift
Date: Nov 08 2024SummaryProcare has been a pretty good resource but as time has gone on there are behind with technology. Their desktop system looks very old compared to other platforms on the market.
PositiveI like the all in one aspect where you can run your entire program using this software.
NegativeI don’t like that the software is only windows based therefore you cannot use Apple products for the desktop version. They are missing a lot of important report run options as well.

User Friendly
Date: Jul 16 2024SummaryTo leave Procare, move all my data, pay more and have a learning curve of a new program it would really have to WoW me.
PositiveI have used Procare daily for 27 years. I love the move to Procare Solutions. I was able to save $ and drop Quickbooks for the payroll. I can manage the center students, parent communication, staff and payroll all with one program. They just added a staff training feature so all the same features as the other programs available. I love being able to access it from anywhere. They have the best customer service, and they are well trained.
NegativeIs to many choices a problem? It can take a bit to find the correct report I need. If I can't find one I can use the data reports to create my own.
