KangarooTime helps us communicate effectively with our parents, and organize our tuition and paperwork. We love the checking in and out feature.
The amount of work to do one entry is ridiculous. I can't stand the fact that if I have one simple question, I have to schedule an apt and it is usually 4 or 5 days out.
The parents love the real time updates and the staff loves the visual cues and intuitive use. I love that parents can pay online and I now receive over 90% of tuition in the first week of each month.
Software does not allow admin to restrict staff to a certain IP address, meaning staff are clocking in/out from anywhere (potential for abuse if staff are clocking in from the parking lot, etc.).
I am very happy with the decision to stay with Kangarootime - we did research other child care management software when taking over this facility and felt that this one best suited our needs.
Errors occurring but I know the system updates a lot.
I LOVE That this program is easy to access and that the staff at Kangarootime are so available to help and assist with any questions, concerns or suggestions that you may have.
The app does not notify families when a photo has been sent and our teachers find it difficult to manage the "rooming" feature.
The application is very easy to use and very friendly and I’m so happy to use it for my 2 children. The price is great and affordable.
What I dislike is that I am unable to see my kids’ checkin times or what their CURRENTLY doing, until the day is over the report is final.
As long as you have that, consistency, and patience, and most of all love, your child will succeed.
It can be difficult sometimes if parents have several applications they are connected to. The messages can get lost and not be noticed as easily.
The technical support is amazing and we were able to help push through the "parent sign in" feature that supported us through changing state regulations.
I'll get a message 5 hrs after my kiddos have been picked up that says the report is now final. I'm not sure if it's something the teachers are doing differently on some days but it's just odd.
I like the home for ongoing reporting, format is easy to read, I like the messaging capability and ability to share pictures.
I don’t think there is something I dislike about the software/app.
Evan G: Hi, my name is Evan. I'm a cloud engineer and I would rate HiMama a five out of five, and for more reviews, like this click below. Problems that we're solving using HiMama is the ability to check in on your child while they're at daycare to get helpful updates and access to helpful webinars from the industry. So what I like most about HiMama is the ability get updates about your child, such as photos and activities that they're engaging with while they're in school. I also like the ability to track the activities they're doing such as taking naps and get updates on things like diaper changes and potty breaks. One thing I would change about HiMama are the notification previews, it's helpful to get updates without having to actually open the app and use the preview notifications to get the full update.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
