Procare Solutions product overview

What is Procare Solutions?

Procare Solutions is the number one child care management software – trusted by 35,000+ child-focused businesses. For over 30 years, child care professionals have used Procare to help them run their operations providing real-time information for making critical decisions, maintaining compliance with local and state regulations, and adhering to business best practices. Let Procare Solutions help you manage every aspect of your child care center, optimize parent communication, and automate the payment collection.

Key benefits of using Procare Solutions

Child Care Business Management - Procare gives you the power to manage every aspect of your daycare — regardless of the size and structure of your organization. From invoicing, billing, and payments to family and child data to staff and student-to-staff ratios, everything you need is in one place. Our daycare app provides comprehensive solutions that save you time and money by streamlining your administrative tasks so you can focus more on the growth and development of the children you serve.

Parent Engagement - When you are looking to build stronger connections with the families you serve, a parent engagement solution is the answer. With a fully integrated and complete parent engagement solution that also includes classroom management, you can immerse parents into their children’s day-to-day activities – from tracking developmental milestones to sharing photos and videos to enabling two-way communication.

Secure & Contactless - Safety has always been a top priority for daycare centers, but it has become even more important in today’s world. Eliminating unnecessary foot traffic is key in providing a safer environment. That’s why Procare enables contactless check-in/out with the choice of either QR codes, GPS curbside or both. And, we also offer security hardware so you can ensure your center is truly secure.

Tuition Collection and Payment - Procare’s child care app and web platform take the hassle out of child care billing with all of the touchless payment options you need — electronic fund transfer (EFT), online or completely automated. You can also do an in-person point-of-sale transaction if needed. Tuition collection is a seamless experience for daycare providers.

Staff Management - Your staff is the hub of your successful daycare business. Monitoring and complying with staff-child ratios, allowing staff to clock-in/out and having staff records available readily is key to better managing your employees. With Procare, you can calculate time card hours, deduct withholdings, track and accrue vacation and sick hours and print payroll checks easily and accurately.

Track Attendance - Record and maintain up-to-the-minute information on the children in your care with attendance tracking.

Monitor & Report Staff-Child Ratios - Monitor and manage staff-child ratios for proper development and to meet state requirements.

Drop off & Pick up - Maximize the safety of students during the busiest time of the day with contactless QR code and GPS check-in.

Online Registration - Easily set up and offer online registration to streamline your operations.

Early Childhood Learning - Plan weekly lessons, manage curriculum, and assess children’s developmental progress.

Pros
I love that we can track how our younger children are eating and when they are being changed. I love love the updates from the teachers.
The best thing about Procare is that it is user friendly. The support website is a great tool.
Everyone on the phone is polite, has excellent customer service and is there to help answer your questions and teach you how to do the task so you can remember for next time. Really love this product.
Cons
I haven't found a software that can do it all. To switch we would be trading problems for problems.
I should be able to create a licensing-compliant registration form for parents, which includes emergency contacts, allergies, medical insurance number, etc. Staff timecards are poorly designed.
It has been having a few glitches lately. It's very frustrating when you can't access your information because server is down.

Pros

We use daily to communicate with our preschool families. Being able to snap a picture of class activities and easily send it to parents is a way for parents to feel a part of their child's day.

Cons

The integration between the desktop version and the Procare App is cumbersome.

Vendor response

Elizabeth, thank you so much for the review. Would you be available to speak with one of our technical specialists regarding your customer support experience and how we can do better? It is very rare to see these issues and we would love the opportunity to make it right.

Procare Solutions Honest Review

Reviewed 4 months ago

Overall, while the issue of information not transferring seamlessly between the desktop and app versions is an annoyance, it hasn't detracted significantly from the overall usefulness of the system. I've found that the app is still a valuable addition to my toolkit, and I appreciate the freedom and flexibility it provides.

Pros

I absolutely adore using this cloud-based system, as it offers me unparalleled flexibility and convenience. Being able to sign on from anywhere, be it from home or on the go, to assist my customers and staff is a fantastic feature that saves me a lot of time and hassle.Furthermore, the digitization of my files has been an excellent addition to my workflow. The ability to go paperless and store everything...

Cons

One issue I've encountered is that not all of the information I need moves over seamlessly from the desktop version to the app version. While the app is incredibly useful for working on-the-go, there are times when I need to access information that is only available on the desktop version.This can be frustrating, as it disrupts my workflow and requires me to switch between the two versions to access...

Easy to Implement, Great for Daycares!

Reviewed a month ago

I love it!

Pros

I like the on-boarding of new families as well as the integration with Tuition Express. I take attendance and run billing in one swoop - and parents can just as easily pull their tax report.

Cons

It's great! Love the reports but would love to be able to customize them.

Vendor response
