Bloomz vs Playground: Which is a better fit?

Being in the area of Educational Management, Bloomz has really helped me for the time that I've used it, with great functionality and ease of use, I definitely recommend it.

I have had parents think that they are invited to the event and it gets confusing.

I love that my parents tell me how much they enjoy knowing what is happening in our classroom. I love being able to post student work, share picture and send reminders.

Finding the "turn notifications on" spot on the app was difficult. Even though it allowed me to turn them on during set up, it only turned on some of the notifications and not all of them.

I truly love when the Bloomz emails/notifications pop-up on my phone, I love receiving updates and appreciate the connection Bloomz allows me to share with my daughter's teachers.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the newest notification when you first get into the app.

I love the ease and privacy to be able to communicate with all the parents of my students. It is easy to send and receive messages without giving away my own number.

Bloomz will integrate everyone and highlights displayed as per classroom. If a notice is placed as an announcement it disappears after sometime so you cannot refer to the information again.

I love that my families find it so user friendly. As a director, my job is to keep my parents happy and their kids safe - and Playground does both.

If you miss payroll one week, it's a pain to get everything back on track.

Costumer service is amazing, it takes them 10 to 15 minutes to reply. If they are unable to figure out your need they put a ticket in to help find the best solution.

There is sometimes bad cell reception near our facility making the app glitch.

PERRRFECT - From learning about the program, purchasing and onboarding as well as user-friendly platform and quick response time. WIN WIN WIN!!! Plus the price is unbeatable.

Sometimes the app can be slow or random numbers will be wrong - we always assume it is a glitch, close the app and it usually fixes it.

I highly recommend Playground to any daycare or childcare center looking for a reliable, secure, and user-friendly management solution.

We were able to move the money we normally spent on people chasing families for payments, on keeping licensing documents and more, and use that to pay our teachers more money.
