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.
Love Kaymbu- I have loved using Kaymbu this year- and my parents love it as well- super user friendly to both teachers and parents love the new phone app.
Sometimes we have trouble connecting to Kaymbu. Often times it is a problem with our server.
I love that they are constantly asking for feedback, and incorporating what their customers need. We have been more than pleased with the technology, and all of the new additions.
I hate that we can't post our own logo- especially since we to have it in the template.
We are very pleased with how Kaymbu has improved teacher/ parent communication. It is so easy to use and has been a hit with our school.
Have trouble with the admistrator app on iPad, I have to go through on my computer.
We use storyboard for our portfolios and I love the ability to customize the look of each one, I would love a way to separate them easily into folders, not just with tags.
I have had trouble with uploading my photos and at times haven't been able to finish my work because of it. I also find that the conversion to pdf is a time waster.
