Reliable Operations, Room to Grow with Academic Integration Date: Nov 04 2025
Summary: Our overall experience with Procare Solutions has been positive in terms of streamlining daily operations across multiple child care sites. The platform helps us manage attendance, billing, and staff scheduling with greater efficiency and accuracy. It has reduced administrative burden and improved our ability to stay organized and compliant. While we’ve encountered some limitations—particularly around integration with our academic platform, Creative Curriculum—we appreciate the stability and functionality Procare brings to our business operations. With continued development, it has the potential to become an even more comprehensive solution for early childhood programs.
Positive: At CCDP, we appreciate how Procare streamlines the complex demands of multi-site child care management. The platform makes it easy to track attendance, manage tuition, and communicate with families—all in one place. What we like most is how Procare helps us stay compliant while saving time. The reporting tools are clear and customizable, which is essential for audits and subsidy documentation. Staff find the interface intuitive, and families love the mobile access. It’s a system that supports both operational excellence and meaningful connection.
Negative: While Procare offers strong tools for operations and family engagement, its limited integration with academic platforms like Creative Curriculum has been a challenge for us. As a multi-site program, we rely on Creative Curriculum for lesson planning, assessment, and documentation. The lack of seamless data sharing between Procare and our academic system means staff often have to duplicate entries or toggle between platforms, which can be time-consuming and prone to error. We’d love to see future enhancements that support smoother integration with widely used early childhood education tools.

Great Childcare Software Edited: Oct 30 2025
Summary: Overall Procare is a great software package. You have everything that is needed to operate a daycare center with one software package.
Positive: I really like the ability to send parents pictures or their children and updates for their activities. I love that one software package can provide everything that is needed to run a daycare center's daily activities.
Negative: I wish that Procare allowed for Parents to be directly billed for credit card fees. Due to this issue and the variability in how much the payment could vary we can't accept credit cards only ACH transfers.

Procare Makes Preschool Life Easier Date: Oct 20 2025
Summary: Overall, my experience with Procare Solutions has been incredibly positive—it’s become a core part of how we care, connect, and stay organized. As someone who balances creativity and operations at a bilingual academy, I appreciate how Procare brings everything together. From managing staff departments to tracking daily routines and sharing updates with families, it’s a one-stop hub that supports both structure and warmth.
It’s not perfect—some features could be more intuitive or customizable—but the benefits far outweigh the quirks. Parents feel more connected, staff feel supported, and I feel confident knowing our systems reflect the inclusive, joyful culture we work so hard to build.Positive: What I love most about Procare Solutions is how it keeps everything running smoothly while helping us stay connected. At our academy, we juggle a lot—staff schedules, parent communication, classroom routines—and Procare makes it all feel manageable. I can update departments, check in on daily reports, and share updates with families in just a few clicks.
It’s not just about organization—it’s about building trust. Parents love seeing what their child ate or when they napped, and staff feel supported with clear tools and info. Procare helps us focus on what matters most: caring for our community.Negative: What I liked least about Procare Solutions is that some features feel a little hidden or hard to customize. For example, updating staff departments or tweaking certain reports can take a few extra clicks—and sometimes I wish there were more flexible options for bilingual communication or visual branding. It’s a great system overall, but a few areas could be more intuitive or adaptable to different center styles.

Time-Saving and Easy to Use, but Needs More Flexibility Date: Aug 30 2025
Summary: Procare has been a huge help for our childcare center. It simplifies daily operations—attendance, billing, and parent communication are all in one place. The system is user-friendly, and their support team is responsive whenever we need help.
One area I’d love to see improved is the ability to handle account adjustments more easily. Having better options to write off or charge off parent accounts directly in the online version would save a lot of time. I also wish I could update which bank account tuition payments go to without having to call and wait for the backend team to process the change (which usually takes 48+ hours).
Overall, Procare is reliable and saves us time, but adding these features would make it even better for childcare centers.Positive: All-in-one platform for attendance, billing, and parent communication
User-friendly and easy to navigate
Responsive and helpful support team
Saves time on daily operationsNegative: Limited ability to write off or charge off parent accounts in the online version
