Pros
It literally is like you guys thought a lot about this. I hope this feedback finds it way to the creators and team that worked so hard for this software because it is such a blessing.
I went from doing everything the paper way to now everything is electronic from check in and out to all of the children files and mine on the Playground app. Love love the all the payment options.
The ease of use, the timely customer support, the willingness to train and retrain our staff We love using Playground.
Cons
I sometimes run into Technical Issues: at time there are glitches or error messages received when using the tool, which impacts my use.
The statement dates were not correct and caused a lot of confusion for parents. Assigning the charges takes a lot of time for us as a large center with multiple age groups and price points.
The Enrollment process has been a bit more difficult to customize.
