About Kangarootime
Kangarootime is a cloud-based, all-in-one platform for child care and early education businesses, covering document management, billing, payment processing, child check-ins, classroom management and more. The system connects parents, teachers, directors, and center owners through real-time messaging, calendars and announcements to ensure that everyone is kept up-to-date.
With Kangarootime, children can be securely checked in and out of centers by parents, with daily audit logs and to-the-second time tracking. Parents can also authorize other adults to collect their children, with the center automatically alerted to the change. Pictures can be shared securely with parents through the in-app messaging system, with all chats, emails, and pictures organized in a single database. Centers can use Kangarootime to collect fees, with integrated payment processing and collections automation.

Kangarootime has made the operations of my childcare center and preschool so much easier. I highly recommend Kangarootime
Pros
Most helpful: integration with the Kisi system for secure keyless entry, easy to use tuition collection via the parent app, ability to send photos and updates of children to parents throughout the day, ability to communicate with families and staff, easy to use parent app giving parents access to all features in one place, customer service is extraordinary, continuous improvements to the product are excellent, training for implementation made adoption of the software very easy, support for centers and engagement of the team with centers is exemplary
Cons
A bit more expensive than other options but entirely worth it! Honestly, the difference in cost may have been made up by not having to purchase other tools for some of the functions Kangarootime offers

Kangarootime is a software package that takes care of my of our needs in our PDO & Preschool program. It covers billing & payments for our families, tracks employee time worked and allows for daily communication with our families. Overall, we are pleased with KT and the service they offer.
Pros
This is the first software program that our center has used. The billing and auto pay is wonderful! There are a lot of options so that we can personalize the billing. I never have any past due accounts with online & auto pay. This is also a good tool to share daily information and pictures with the parents. One of the things I like most about Kangarootime is the people. Customer service is very responsive and helpful in finding answers to questions and problems. They also listen to the needs of the customer and add needed features into the software.
Cons
My older teachers have struggled to learn to use the program. The user interface isn't as intuitive as it could be.
