December 19, 2019

We were forced into researching a replacement software for the sign in/out for our preschool when our previous software company stopped their app. We researched several and found that Preto3 had the features we truly needed without being overly complicated and filled with too many options. We set up the trial program and by the end of the first day we knew we had found the perfect software for our school. While we were hoping to find a replacement for our sign in/sign out attendance software - what we discovered was so much more. We will be able to replace at least five of our paper correspondences with families by using the features of this software. We have yet to roll it out to our parents (due to our winter break beginning) but as they have started to sign up we have already received positive responses from our parents. We are excited to get using Preto3 and making our communication lines with our parents even easier.

Pros

The system is very user friendly. The screens are bright and easy to read. They are not overly dense with unnecessary things. It has addressed our needs as a small non-profit preschool and given us options that we had not considered but are now excited to incorporate in our family communication.

Cons

We are still in the early stages of using the software so at the time of writing this review, we cannot find any. Any questions or concerns about function and use have been very quickly addressed by support.

Reasons for choosing PREto3

It was easier to use, fit our school needs better and was better priced.

We are gradually doing away with paper and becoming a modern organization .

Pros

I have just started learning the ropes in technology, being from the paper age so I was worried that I would be able to use our Preto3. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team were very assuring and I’ve found the software quite easy to use and very useful. Even the parents are in love with it as communication is much faster.

Cons

I am yet to have one. I’ve not synchronized it with our payment system. Once I do that, then it becomes perfect.

Reasons for choosing PREto3

Honestly, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was great .

Very pleased!

Pros

I have had so much to learn this year as we have a new child care center but \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have been such a great help! Patient instruction on use of the software. Always willing to answer my questions!

Cons

I would like to delete invoices myself when I make a mistake. However, just a quick email and I have had all the help I needed.

Pros

I am only in week one of the 30 day trial. So far ease of clock in and out is amazing. 4 digit code or scan and done. We will continue to troubleshoot all the system has to offer and hope to continue to use after the 30 day trial.

Cons

When a staff member did not receive the email to sign up, I had to delete the employee and re enter the information.

Reasons for choosing PREto3

Ability to track student check-in/out records and track which rooms students are in really saves us huge amount of time. THere are five features that we had to go to multiple different systems to use now it's all in one app.

Cons

Daily activities still crashes sometimes.

Pros

Have everything I need on my phone. I can check my son in from my app instead of using sign in/out sheet, and all the enrollment documents are already online, so no more missing information when I'm trying to sign up for a school. It is also much easier using the app to communicate with teachers.

Cons

Nothing particular, the app has been working the way it's supposed to be.

Great support staff, great energy and very knowledgable in the early education sector. I love the new online enrollment and payment system, making payment and registration so much easier. And I also get daily activities update on how my son's doing at the school.

They're constantly updating their app with new features and because of that some of the features might be unavailable.
