Pros

“It provides the tools we need to manage daily school operations, student information, billing, and family communication in one platform. While there are areas where additional automation and enhanced communication features would improve efficiency, the system does the job well and continues to support our administrative and operational needs.”

Giovanna B.

Assistant Director

“It is excellent for assisting in student management, and now has the new feature to look at all the rooms and help with capacity and placement dates.”

Samantha S.

Preschool Administrator

“Tasks and students are clearly defined, search bar is intuitive.. takes some practice toggling through task bar for daily parent chat and pictures, but easier with time..”

Kristina A.

Teacher front desk

Pros

“I would like a little bit more customization with some of the features like re-labelling some static wordings. Since we use our product for k-12, the product is more geared towards Childcare, this limits some of the uses as the age progression increases.”

Darren R.

IT Manager

“we can extract data and information for marketing and accounting purposes.”

Fatima R.

Manager

“Parent App is one of the best daily reporting with our childrens' activities inside the classroom.”

HERME O.

Teacher Assistant

Cons

“I am a member of the admin team that uses daily Procare and I absolutely hate how the desktop Procare does not sync with Procare connect. If I input information on the desktop version of Procare especially things like schedule and allergies it does not automatically sync with Procare Connect. ”

Jennifer S.

Family Coordinator

“Occasional system glitches, syncing issues between devices, and delays in customer support can create extra work and frustration for staff and families”

Janelix M.

Assistant Director

“Currently, most communications are sent through messages that generate emails, which can quickly overwhelm parents' inboxes.”

Giovanna B.

Assistant Director

Cons

“The app sometimes lagged or took a while to load updates, especially when opening media files like photos or videos.”

Roselie Y.

Accountant

“Some of them don't don't do follow up of their kids altitudes at home or attain meetings to know about their children performance at school”

Linda V.

Teacher

“I recently switched over to Parent for managing our childcare admissions, and unfortunately, my experience has been satisfactory. While the software has some promising features, it falls short in several key areas, making it challenging to effectively manage our childcare center.”

Brooke C.

Director of Admissions
