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.

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. -
