Excellent product
Date: Jun 19 2024SummaryI would recommend Procare to any child care business. It helps you stay very organized, and gives the parent the ease of seeing updates on their child throughout the day.
PositiveI enjoy the ease of communication with all the parents, the ease of billing, invoicing and monitoring payments. Gives the provider and parents a way to monitor and watch the growth and development of the child together. Customer service is very helpful and always makes sure your comfortable with how the product functions.
NegativeSometimes it takes customer service a long time to respond, but once they do its very efficient. At first it is a little tricky to navigate and find what you are looking for, but the training before hand is helpful.

Resurrection Early Childhood Review
Date: Jun 05 2024SummaryOverall I enjoy most aspects of Procare. I think that it had great capability when it comes to child tracking. I would like to see more parent user friendly aspects of the app and paperwork submission.
PositiveWhat I like the most about Procare solutions is being able to connect with families via newsletter. I like that it sends it via email so even if the parent does not have the app, they still get the newsletter.
NegativeI would say I like the least about Procare solutions is that the app doesn't always connect to the desktop and vice versa. It is hard to keep accurate attendance when those two things are not properly communicating with each other.

Great system, but needs some work!
Date: Oct 07 2024SummaryOverall, it is a great system. We use it daily for our child care program. It meets the state requirements and is helpful and informative when communicating to families. We appreciate the ease of customer support.
PositiveIt is a great way to connect school with the families. We like that children can be individually tagged so you can group them in various ways such as messaging. We also like how parents can view their child's day.
NegativeThe system does have some quarks. It seems to be slower than other programs we have used. Sometimes the system is down and parents are unable to sign in or receive messages/updates throughout the day. We would like to be able to use a laptop (desktop) to be able to use for a sign in kiosk. Some things we can do on the iPads are not accessible on the desktop and vice versa. One thing that is not working right now is signing incident reports. There seems to be a glitch in the system when we submit for a parent to sign and it will not go through after the parent has signed.

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.
