Pros

  • I love that we have a great contact, Timothy Taft, when things are not going as planned and he is always available and willing to help.

  • GPISD After School Program has used EZChildTrack for three years and highly recommend the program. The support that has been provided by EZChildTrack is outstanding.

  • The majority of the feedback that we get from the parents who are utilizing EZ ChildTrack is positive as well. The customer service and technical support provided by EZ ChildTract is OUTSTANDING.

Cons

  • Since everything is automated, it can be hard to make changes quickly if you do not have advance notice of any changes.

  • Our district, at this time, refuses to give outside services a port, so we are a bit disappointed about not having the option to utilize these portions of the program.

  • Our school district has gone to the cloud for email, and because of that we no longer have servers so we are currently unable to utilize the e-mail blast and the individual e-mail features.

"Great Software for Child Care"

Overall: EZChildTrack enabled our program to hold the people we serve accountable with payments, filling out registration information to completion, and providing a portal for our customers to see all of their account information. These 3 things reduced many "man hours worked" and relieved a lot of stress.

Pros: I was most pleased with how easy the software is to learn & the support you receive. The "help" tab is a great resource with easy instructions and instructional videos. I was able to learn from the "help" page many times over the last year. I was also VERY happy I could speak to a rep to double check my work. The staff is extremely helpful & patient!

Cons: I do not have any cons for the software. I have not run into any actions/features I would change.

Alternatives Considered: Procare Solutions and Encore
Reasons for Choosing EZChildTrack: The referral from a man who works with the AlphaBest Afterschool Care first told me about it and how easy it was to navigate and use. I looked into it and agreed.
Switched From: Procare Solutions
Reasons for Switching to EZChildTrack: Simplicity in the program/felt like a better match for our program/EZ Childtrack was referred by another company using it.

"Ease of use for a geographically distributed program - safety and efficiency "

Overall: Overall, the greatest benefit is how it has shifted "work" to the user, in terms of entering their own information - child information, emergency contacts, medical details, autopay info, etc. It has significantly reduced the workload on my clerical staff and at the site level, not to mention the reduction in paper used. This has freed up time for other tasks to support the program. It has also given parents more control by being able to access their Parent Portal account and all its features (billing, account information, emergency contacts, etc.) any time. They are not constrained by our central office operating hours. I can't say enough about how amazing our experience with EZ ChildTrack has been!

Pros: I run a program at 9 school sites, but am myself based at a central office. The best part about EZ ChildTrack is how it enables me to manage those 9 sites from literally anywhere. It enables me to keep tabs on live attendance at sites, incident reports as they are written, and monitor parent check-in/-out remotely if needed. What prompted me to write this review, though, is an emergency situation we encountered yesterday. We had to evacuate a site due to a weather-related power outage. I was able to immediately send an email blast using EZ ChildTrack to families from our central office. The site's internet was down. But from their backup cell phone (mobile data), the staff were able to pull up the EZ ChildTrack Fire Drill report for students in attendance. That report has the parent names and phone numbers conveniently displayed for the children in attendance. While I was supporting with parent phone calls from our central office, the fire alarm went off and I had to evacuate the building myself! I was also able to pull up the fire drill report on my iPhone. Just by clicking on the numbers, my phone called directly to those numbers. We were able to seamlessly and without interruption (despite the weather's best efforts) contact all parents quickly and get parents on their way. Emergency preparedness is crucial and the ease of use component of EZ ChildTrack makes me feel that our sites (and our central office) are prepared to respond quickly and ensure students' safety.

Cons: The only drawback was our employee's level of technological competence when rolling out the product. We found that staff did not have the comfort level with general computer tasks (logging in, using an iPad, supporting parent questions because they didn't understand the process themselves). But over time, this is an obstacle we have been able to resolve. And this isn't a fault of EZ ChildTrack but of our users' pre-existing skill level.

"Alief ISD After School Program"

Overall: Pros- +The registration process online is easy for the parents and staff. +Saves on paper. Cons- +Sometimes when paying by credit card, it takes a while to process the payment. +The printed copies of receipts and invoices are not identified by the student. We have to write the student names on each copy in order to know who the paperwork belongs to. +The driver license field should be mandatory. We require parents to provide their driver license number when calling into the office. +Attachments should be mandatory for parents to read.

Vendor Response

By GTSoft on December 13, 2016
Tameka, Thank you for your feedback. I would like to address the "Cons" that you have mentioned. 1. Credit card transactions take place instantaneously. The speed of the user's connection may affect the user's perception of the transaction speed. 2. The student names are printed on the invoice. They are simply not printed at the top of the invoice. 3. The driver's license field can be made mandatory. This is an option that the user has to activate. If you need assistance, please contact our support team. 4. Attachments can be made mandatory. There is also a customizable instruction page for online registration. We suggest that you insert necessary instructions on that page. However, there is no way to confirm that parents have actually read the page/attachment versus having just opened the page/attachment.If you need assistance, please contact our support team. We hope we have addressed your concerns. Thank you for your continued business! -EZChildTrack Team

"Great software for child care management!"

Overall: Overall, we have had an excellent experience with EZChildTrack. They know what they are doing and can assist as you learn the software in an easily understandable way. We have been very satisfied!

Pros: It's very thorough at meeting the needs of our organization and our families. It's very complex in it's design so it can do a lot to make keeping track of families information, attendance records, program set up, communications, and accounts very easy and accurate. You can trust it!

Cons: Because the software can do so much, there is a learning curve. However, support is there every step of the way, providing on-site training, WebEx meetings, and technical support.

Reasons for Choosing EZChildTrack: Many more options in EZChildTrack than other products.
Reasons for Switching to EZChildTrack: The other software did not provide all that EZChildTrack does and support was very lacking.

"Wonderful tool for Child Care and Afterschool"

Overall: We have been using EZ Child Track for 3 years now. The product is constantly, but subtly, evolving to meet the needs of our business. Our families are comfortable with the program and like being able to set up auto-pay or just go online to pay when needed. We connected an email address to the Contact Us and parents enjoy this feature. We also use many of the reports that can be generated to help inform us about delinquent accounts and enrollment. We are very pleased with EZ Child Track. It meets the needs of our Preschool and Afterschool programs.

Pros: Ease of use, report features, automatic posting of online payments

Cons: Can't charge different registration fees, can't search by address

"An Awesome Team"

Overall: The White Plains Youth Bureau has been using EZChildTrack for our after school program for five and a half years now. Since the implementation of EZChildTrack, we have had been able to reach our targeted revenue goals successfully. In addition, the communication with our parents have been phenomenal with the use of electronic notifications and billing. The technical support team and senior staff are always a phone call away and are able to expedite any technical issues that may arise. Although as far as we have been using the software, we have had no major concerns. The Team is Awesome!

Pros: That is is user friendly

Cons: No cons to report

"Great Customer Service to Support a Great Student Management System"

Overall: We are an extended day program, and we recently transitioned to EZChildTrack from one of the bigger name Student Management Systems, and we couldn't be happier with it! The system automatically handles some of the tedious tasks that we had to take care of on a regular basis, which frees up our time to focus on ensuring our program is as great as possible. The customer service team has been very willing to work with us to make sure that the system works for our needs, which is a big difference from our previous experience. EZChildTrack is also very intuitive and is easy to learn. Overall, it is highly recommended!

Pros: Ease of use, efficiency of tasks, Customer Service, Reports

Cons: Since everything is automated, it can be hard to make changes quickly if you do not have advance notice of any changes.

"Some of the most "enabling" software I've encountered..."

Overall: We deployed EZChildTrack in our business within an accelerated timeframe to address an urgent need for "transformational" change. The software is exceptionally configurable and straight forward; the Thomas Kelly team was equally exceptional in their support of our implementation. Thomas Kelly has also been very open to our feedback for future enhancements and development and has already delivered new releases incorporating our suggestions.

"Fits Our Business Needs with Parental Approval"

Overall: Westfield Washington Schools (WWS) will soon be starting our third year with EZ ChildTrack, and we are overall very pleased. WWS Student Support Programs uses EZ ChildTrack extensively throughout the entire year to manage the business side of our programs and also offer the convenience of the online parent portal for parents to enroll, make payments, and manage their account. During the school year, the online website is used for our early childcare programs and our before and after school programs. In the summer, WWS Student Support Programs continues to use EZ ChildTrack with our extensive summer camp program. The company is very responsive to their customer needs by providing frequent enhancements that add value to the software. Both their tech support group and ticket items we submit through the business management side are very responsive in addressing questions and resolved issues in a timely manner. EZ ChildTrack continues to meet our needs as we continue to grow, and our parents appreciate the ease of this program.

"BPS EZ ChildTrack Review"

Overall: BPS has been using the EZ ChildTrack software for two years. We find the software to be logical, easy to navigate, and easy to teach to new staff members. The software has capability beyond our current usage, so we feel we have room to grow. The customer service - direct support - has been outstanding. Our questions and issues have all been dealt with in a timely manner. The customer service staff has also been very receptive to our ideas for changes/additions to the software. The support team, at times, has been quick to close items that need further resolution, but when challenged do dig deeper to come to a resolution. Our school district has gone to the cloud for email, and because of that we no longer have servers so we are currently unable to utilize the e-mail blast and the individual e-mail features. Our district, at this time, refuses to give outside services a port, so we are a bit disappointed about not having the option to utilize these portions of the program. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our association with EZ ChildTrack.

"Enjoy the online portal"

Pros: The pay online option is great! It goes thru right away, no waiting! It is very easy to use, pretty self explanatory. I also like being able to look back at what classes my child is enrolled in.

Cons: I wish the registration for other age groups wasn't on the front page, it gets confusing when you are trying to find your age group details.

"EZ Childtrack is great for all size sites!"

Overall: We have 28 sites, some small 20 to 30 students and some large 80-130 students. EZ Child track works for them all. It brings uniformity to all my sites, provides access for parents, and easy online payments that cut down on paper handling at the sites. Reports are easy to pull. Parents like the personal identification number for sign out on an ipad! And they like being able to pay online at anytime of day or night. We use it for Payroll and all our staff and vendors sign in and out on the software. Makes for a much less complicate payroll day. From the management prospective, Customer Service with EZ Child Track has been first rate. They promptly address our concerns and issues and NEVER leave us hanging!

"The product that saves you time!"

Overall: We have grown over the years and we were feeling the growing pains. We found EZChild Track and it allowed us to better serve our families, improved efficiency, and gave everyone real time information. Our parents have been using it for a year now, and they really enjoy using the parent portal. We have conducted two online registrations and they have been a live saver. Parents just keep telling us how easy it is to register online. We can inform parents of registration status, it is a time saver! Payments are a breeze. We accept payments at each site and the Ipad app is wonderful. We accept payment, email receipt to parent, and it updates database. EZ Child Track is a time saver; I highly recommend it!

"I have been using this program for a year now and am still learning all of the capabilities. "

Overall: The system is easy to navigate and is user friendly for me. The cons would be that the system isn't always working correctly, such as deleting important information, example: key card info. It is not always as easy for parents to use, such as making payments and printing statements. I love that we have a great contact, Timothy Taft, when things are not going as planned and he is always available and willing to help. He is always friendly and this makes getting through the tough situations a little easier! I also like that when we enter a support ticket with an issue, it is answered and resolved in a timely manner.

"Outstanding Software for Child Care Agencies"

Overall: EZChildTrack has provided a user-friendly application system which allows parents to easily maneuver the registration process. As an administrator, we want a system that works for parents as well as for the business employees. The EZChildTrack employees provide outstanding customer service. They are flexible and responsive -- most importantly they want the system to work for you. They make enhancements to the application to ensure the application works to meet your organizations needs. I highly recommend EZ to any child care provider to take care of your applications, reports, attendance, and staff timesheets.

Overall: Switching to EZChild Track childcare management software has been a positive experience for Zionsville Community Schools. The Parent Portal is user-friendly. The tablet option offers easier tracking of student attendance. The staff worked hard to answer all of our questions and concerns early into the process. We also find that if we have a need and they can meet it they are willing to update their software.
