3+ years with this software

Hi Samantha, thank you so much for your review! We're so glad to hear that our parent engagement features have helped improve communication at your center. We're looking forward to updating our interface and improving features in our new platform. Stay tuned! If you have any further feedback, please reach out. Thanks again!

One of the best aspects of this company is its customer service. If you call you are not on hold forever and you speak to a live person. emails are answered within 48 hours and during the set up process the staff was available at any time to help trouble shoot. We do have a weird payment schedule and the staff continues to work with us on tweaking things to get the right. Our parents love the daily reporting which we did on paper prior and the automatic and electronic billing.  Overall A+ from me!

Change is hard but well worth it!

Overall, mostly satisfied with KT.  They have an extremely responsive and devoted support staff - I cannot say enough about their support staff, one of the best I've worked with across multiple software implementations across the childcare, small business support, and insurance industries in the past 10 years.  It's clear they are still trying to quickly iterate and working out the kinks and idiosyncrasies that come up.  Their software development seems to struggle a bit compared and it seems like there is something missing - a guiding vision unifying all the various modules contained in their program
