    Easy Procare

    Date: Apr 23 2025

    Summary: Overall I am happy. I haven't felt the need to switch over to anything else and probably won't. It is pretty user friendly. We really liked when a representative actually worked with us to learn how to accept card payments.

    Positive: I love that when I work with Procare it is like second nature. All of the menus are in a spot that are easy to find. It is also very simple to add in new menus or classrooms. I love that I am able to input all of my documents in the system and it will print me out things such as tax statements, allergy lists and even classroom rosters or birthdays.

    Negative: It logs me out a lot and that makes it difficult when I am in a hurry to do something

    Procare is supportive

    Date: Apr 22 2025

    Summary: We are happy and working on learning how to use the system to its full potential. We look forward to the trainings that we will be setting up and utilizing Procare to the best of it's abilities.

    Positive: Being able to get most of my business functions taken care of in one spot. This program has supported us in learning how to manage everything and the care team is very supportive. We recently reached out about trainings and they were very supportive and helpful!

    Negative: We would like to see better organization from Procare. We can't upload our incident/accident reports, because they would get scrambled with the important documents that we load. then it would become a hassle to find anything. We would also love to have categories for our communications, because not all communications are flagged important and some are mainly for curriculum with teachers. So being able to separate would be helpful.

    Procare has streamlined my workload

    Date: Apr 22 2025

    Summary: Procare has streamlined my workload. All my information is in one place and right at your fingertips.

    Positive: I’ve been using Procare for more than 10years and I love it! Procare helps me keep track of staff and children’s requirements/documentation. You can print a report for any information or data you need. It is fully customizable. Procare does so much and if I need help the support website is great. There you can find easy step by step directions/ videos. The phone support team is also very helpful. I use Procare for everything; attendance tracing for children and staff, data/required paperwork, tuition charges and payment, center expenses, parent and staff communication, children’s daily reports, and more. Starting in July, I plan to use the agency payment part of Procare. It will allow me to manage agency payment with a separate ledger under each family’s account.

    Negative: Honestly, I love everything about Procare. Any concern or questions I have ever had/have are answered quickly by the support staff or website.

    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.

    A Parent-Friendly Experience

    Date: Apr 17 2025

    Summary: As a parent, staying connected with my child's daycare experience is invaluable, and Procare delivers an great solution for real-time updates and communication. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the app’s strengths make it an indispensable tool for parents, earning it a well-deserved 5-star rating.

    Positive: Real-Time Progress Tracking: The ability to follow my child’s day through updates on activities, meals, and milestones is fantastic. It provides peace of mind and keeps me engaged with their daily experiences.

    Intuitive Timeline: The app’s chronological timeline is seamless and user-friendly, making it easy to scroll through updates in a logical, visually appealing format.

    Simple and Clear UI: The interface is straightforward, even for those not tech-savvy, ensuring quick access to all features without a steep learning curve.

    Negative: System Outages in 2024: There were noticeable system downtimes throughout 2024, which temporarily disrupted access to updates and caused minor inconvenience.

    Limited Photo Interaction Visibility: When multiple people interact with photos on the timeline (think 3 or more), it’s unclear who they are. With only my wife and me using the app to see our child, seeing three or more interactions can be confusing even though my guess is it might be a parent of another kid that's also in the photo.

    No Quick-Access Checkout Feature: The app lacks a feature like an Apple Wallet card or QR code integration for checking out our kid from daycare. A “checkout ID” with a PIN or QR code, similar to other apps like car insurance, would streamline the pick-up process.

    Versatile and Robust Software

    Edited: Mar 13 2025

    Summary: Overall it gives us many options we wouldn't be able to do manually due to the amount of time it would take!

    Positive: We love how easy it is to collect payments and the vision it provides us for real time record keeping!

    Negative: Difficult to run reports, not compatible with Apple and sometimes mobile phones, wish their was a way parents could provide a signature during the online registration process, pay at the checkout kiosk using the app at sign out.
