Coordenação Pedagógica

With the use of this app, managing school operations has become much easier.

Employer

It takes time to do software updates tailored to the needs of our business

Owner

I cancelled my subscription no [sensitive content hidden] and they are still deducting payments as of [sensitive content hidden].

Xplor education is practical and very easy to use.

Business Analyst

It handles most things well and streamlines the process of registration and payment collection.

Many features are not intuitive to set up and documentation is not always helpful even if it exists.

DIRECTOR

i sometimes struggle (and so do the parents) with reading the statements as fore mentioned.

We charge two weeks in advance which makes it harder.

Director

Very opposite to the support you get when you are joining Xplor.

BI Developer

The BI Analytics tool is very simplified and great for quick summary and understanding.

I swear every day I use this junk there is an issue.

Director of Mobile Children's Service

The Xplor accounting system works extremely well for Tharawonga. If the Master Roll is right then accounts are correct and charges are made to parents and it is very easy.

Owner/Director

So there system makes up its own subsidy estimate for families causing families statements to be incorrect.

Waitlist and enrolment process and management creates more work and not intuitive.

Parents find it hard to connect and book and sign Compliant Written Agreements.

The Xplor staff are wonderful and could not be more helpful.

myKidzDay

New Client Pricing

The ability to only post 4-5 pictures under each category, but most times we use different categories to post remaining pictures from the same activity!

Center Coordinator

I use this tool daily as it allows me to enter the children and parent into the system for the staff to review,

Teacher

Sometimes the app runs a bit slow or takes time to upload pictures. But apart from that, I love everything about the app, especially the ability to communicate with parents.

Coordinator

Parents have said they receive notifications about messages later than when they are sent, however that could solely be based on their service at the time of the notification!

It had being good for us, we like the app I think need some changes with the amount of pictures that we can send by activities.

Parent

love the memory feature and ability to keep track of what's going on while im not with my child

When entering children's information in the app you the last children is still highlighted, and sometimes extra stuff will get put in if a teacher doesn't notice.

I wish staff could see chat comments sent from the director to parents, so information wouldn't be duplicated.

Moving between sections can take more taps than expected, and the app can occasionally feel slow.

Childcare Provider

I wish there was an app for admin for home childcare providers who are on the move instead of at a desk!

Sometimes the app runs a bit slow or takes time to upload pictures.

Program Supervisor

I also like the billing reminders for parents to pay tuition. When there are issues I am happy with their customer service as well.

Technician

I found it convenience using myKidzDay in scheduling newsletters and lesson updates without having to disrupt the lesson.

MyKidzDay is a useful app to manage attendance, communication and much more in preschools and nurseries.

The ability to communicate children's information to parents, whether its with single parent, multiple or all parents at the same time.

We also love using the app for attendance and tracking.

Parents don't need to contact the coordinator on their personal number and the staff don't feel out of the loop on information!

Radiation therapist

The intake form could be better as well or on its own tab entirely.

It does what it’s designed to do well, but some UI and performance improvements would make it even better.

Lead Teacher

Communicating with families has been a breeze, and I love how easily parents can access their children's activities throughout the day.

My staff uses it daily to check in and out.

We frequently send reminders about upcoming events and important dates.

It is a great app so parents can sign in/out and get information about the school.

I like the daily updates for bottles and diapers.

Owner operator

I can monitor it in between things to keep parents up to date.

Manager

Waiting on the development and launch of a single view page for infant classrooms of last feeding and diaper changes rather than scrolling through each portfolio page.

It’s sad to see a company prioritize money over integrity and genuine customer care.

Our Pre-K Center has used myKidzDay for the past 3 years and have found it incredibly helpful in all areas.

Receptionist

Being able to manage the attendance in a timely manner.

Executive Director

I have been very happy with MyKidzday, the quick turn around time with customer service, updates to App and website.

Assistant Director

Also, that you can't reply back to a regular message either without going to message and starting a new one.

I send messages to parents and its very helpful in my day to day business

myKidzday has amazing customer support with helpful, kind, and timely responses.

Education

Great for daycare operations, interface is user friendly and they provide time to time information of the child ..

Onsite provider

It just takes time to enter each category of each child due to different schedules.

Any time i have a question about how something works, i can call and get immediate support!

I really like the incident report feature and that it is sent to the director for approval before the parents!

There are many things that I like about this App, I feel at ease knowing that I can get updates while my child is at daycare.

Overall there hasn't been any bugs that impacts our daily use of this app!

Communications Coordinator and Administrative Assistant

It is very easy for the staff members to see who has messaged and when.

Invoices can not be edited, make a new one.

Director of Children Services

Lots of great upgrades, that has been huge benefit for invoicing.

The app doesn't have enough learning objectives for the learning domains.

I am enjoying it the my kidz day app for parent communication.  

It is much easier because the app does the math, I just put in the rates and discounts.

General Manager

Overall, this app makes it easy to feel connected to my childs day and also to track important daycare center information and dates.
