Everything works well and I am pleased with how it works and how easy it is to use for the teachers.

Pros

I like that everything is on one system and easy to use.

Cons

The app is so very slow and sluggish, especially in the morning. It takes a while to get it working smoothly, and if the screen dims or whatnot, you have to go through that again.

Overall, Procare has made our lives as both administration and teachers so much easier!

Pros

ProCare takes care of all our needs in one easy platform. From tracking who is signing a child in and out, attendance, parent messages, incident reports, diapering, feeding and even napping, we have been able to do away with pen and paper for basically all classroom documentation. As administration that does not work hands on with billing, I am still able to see in-depth explanations to parents accounts and assist them when they have issues.

Cons

As with any technology, there are glitches. Things as simple as Procare not catching a child's birthday and changing their tuition accordingly has to be monitored because it frequently does not work. Other than that, our only downfall is that if wifi goes down, we lose some capabilities as cell service is not great in our building and many parents rely on a tablet kiosk for signing children in and out.

While its a fairly easy system to use, the system lacks in update from a dos style system. It functioned as I needed it to for 10 plus years.

Pros

Procare is a great product for someone new to childcare management that needs a simple system

Cons

When we initially purchased Procare we bought modules and seats for local systems. Then several years ago we moved to cloud based services and minimal features and were then charged a monthly fee. Then about a year and a half ago we were forced to move to the full feature monthly fee even though we weren't using the features nor needed them. The new cost doubled monthly and made us look for a newer product.

I love Procare! 5 + years ago when we were looking at to go from all paper to digital for our administrative and teaching needs, we started to research all the companies providing a single program digital service. Many centers in our area were using a mish mosh of multiple programs to cover what they needed. That was not an option for us. We chose ProCare. It had everything we needed from daily updates for parents to payroll and billing to lesson planning and child assessments. A "1 stop shop" so to speak. We love that this program is easy to use and the customer service is phenomenal. We made the right choice in deciding to use Procare.

Pros

- Everything we need comes from 1 supplier.
- It is affordable
- The program is easy to use for everyone.
- Parents love the contactless sign in and out option

Cons

- When Procare has updates to their program we often have glitches that we have to work through, but Customer service is awesome and helps us work through any issues

Procare offered better solutions. We needed a program that integrated administration and record keeping, billing and payment options, record keeping, lesson planning and assessment, and communication all in a format that was easy to customize and use for administration, faculty and parents. We found that with Procare.

Procare has great customer service! They have also allowed us to give parents many updates though out the day, they can check in with out having to call the center and parents love getting to look back on there daily activities to see when they need there next meal/ bottle at home.

Pros

I love how Procare has allowed out center to switch to one software system instead of using 2-3 like we used to. It has allowed us to grow stronger relationships with parents thought messaging and getting to send them photos though out the day of there child!

Cons

When updates are done sometimes it affects the online version and causes it to run slow or be down for a bit. However they are very quick to get it fixed.
