Pros The system is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I like how it streamlines scheduling and keeps everything organized. It makes staff communication and family engagement much smoother. The automation saves time on billing, attendance, and record-keeping. I appreciate the transparency it gives both parents and staff. Cons Some features take a little time to learn at first. Occasional glitches or slow load times can be frustrating. A few reports could be more customizable for specific needs.

I love that my dashboard on Childcare Seer will notify me when a classroom is out of ratio, which has made my job so much easier! Cons As a user who came into the company early, some bugs and glitches needed to be fixed, and they were! My feedback mattered, making the issues not as big of a deal in the end.

JP Jeremy P. Engineer Automotive ### "Child Care Seer Review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 March 12, 2023 Pros The daily updates and ability to pay for care via wallet are really nice. The overall layout of the website makes it easy to find things and look up information. Cons The paid vs not paid function is not working on the site. It doesn't allow check in/check out of kids even though the week has been paid for. It would be nice to pay monthly instead of every week. The money section of the site credits/debits can be confusing. I find myself running a tax report to confirm what was actually charged to our account.

Collections manager Hospital & Health Care ### "My honest opinion on Child Care Seer" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 10, 2023 Pros As a parent of a young child, I like knowing that you have to have a personalized pin number to check her in and out. My husband and I also appreciate the daily reports we receive as they give us insight as to how her day went. Overall, I like Child Care Seer much better than what was previously used. Cons The only con is that if the internet is down at the child care facility, the staff has to manually check our children in and out. Switched from [ProCARE Portal](https://www.capterra.com/p/140862/ProCARE-Portal/) The childcare facility chose to switch as they had better features with Child Care Seer, and the cost was better.

Pros I am a parent user of the software. I like that I can see what activities my child does as well as pictures. I also like that there is a messaging capability so we can communicate directly with his teacher. Cons It's a little clunky. Sometimes messages go through and sometimes they don't. Autocorrect doesn't work in the app. This isn't a big deal but different than what people have become used to. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor March 7, 2023 Thank you for taking the time to review Child Care Seer.

Teacher Education Management ### "Awful for shared parenting" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 March 6, 2023 Pros Nothing- this program is garbage. May as well not have it Cons This doesn't work for shared parenting. Each parent should have their own account instead of this mess! Also the fees to use a card are ridiculous! Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor March 7, 2023 Thank you for taking the time to leave an honest review. We're sorry you've found use of the app disappointing. In order to support many different family situations, each parent does have their own account which allows both individual messaging and payments to the center. If you'd like to reach out to us at via the Seer help button or email seer\_support@childcareseer.com, we'd be happy to work with you and the center to help improve the experience you're having. As far as fees for using cards, electronic payment processing always involves a cost. We provide a choice to the schools using the software of how they'd like to handle those fees. Some schools prefer to have some (or all) of the fees passed along to the parents, and others build it into their price. Either way, the fees are unfortunately part of accepting electronic payments.
