### "Tuition Express"

May 10, 2019

5.0

See my answer above.

Pros

This part of the software was an option that we held off on for several years. When we finally started it, we found out very quickly how great it was!! We would never go back to checks and cash for our payments. It has simplified our work and saved us many hours of work trying to collect fees. The entire staff at Procare is wonderful and will do everthing they can to make the programs work for you. They have always been so helpful and responsive when we have questions. Great program and great support staff!!!

Cons

I really don't have any problems with the software.

### "Attendance made easy!"

November 19, 2019

5.0

We love being able to keep track of all of our attendance and being able to pull up any students record to see when, the times and who picked the student up.

Pros

Love this software because we are able to keep track of 100's of students on a daily basis. We can also keep track of students and their attendance. Kinderlime also notifies us anytime there is an issue and they always have it resolved in a short amount of time.

Cons

The biggest downfall we have is the reports and not being able to get all the information we need on said reports.

Reason for choosing Procare Solutions

We chose Kinderlime because it was able to do what we needed it do.

### "Preschool/Daycare management"

July 3, 2019

4.0

Overall it is a good software and makes managing a school much easier, however there are room for improvements as far as functions, reports, and user capabilities go that would make it more beneficial to preschool/daycares.

Pros

All information in one location, easy to print classroom rosters, projection for future enrollments/classroom numbers

Cons

Not an annual roster by classroom option (Each needs to be done monthly), past rosters are not accurate if a child is "hidden" or "withdrawn" from the program, takes some searching through possible reports to find a report that will give you the information you need in a format you want it in.

### "Good software for childcare centers "

May 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

We have used this software for over 8 years. It has many features; reports, attendance tracking, billing, family information and email lists.

Cons

Overall we like it, but have found that it takes a little bit of time to figure out. For example, they have so many reports that you have to run each one to finally figure out what you are looking for. Sometimes not all the data comes through, certain students are missing and you have to go back into that students account and change a setting. From then on it is easy and very helpful to regenerate reports but again the set up takes time.

### "I am always appreciative of their willingness to help even though we utilize MacBooks/Parallels."

November 15, 2017

5.0

Pros

The software is so user friendly and adaptable to a Before & After School program. It was not developed for older kids or a after school program but you can easily modify.

Cons

I wish it was more accessible from a iPad and that you could check employees in & out along with children on the iPad.

October 5, 2021

Pros

Procare is so easy to use. Keeps our records all update.

Cons

Only downfall that we have come across is when a families cried card expires it doesn't let you know.

November 5, 2020

5.0

Overall it is money well spent to offer parents the online payment option and keep track of everything

Pros

It is much easier to interact with than our previous product and enabled us to offer online payments for parents which was huge

Cons

I wish it was possible to import data from Infinite Campus and I also wish it was possible to archive students who have left

### "From a Preschool perspective"

May 17, 2019

4.0

The customer service is wonderful. Everyone we have ever had to call and talk to has been extremely helpful

Pros

Touch pad sign in and out has eased billing and the cumulative tally of staff working hours. The system has been incredibly useful in this area, making it user friendly. Also we love the tuition express. It has cut down on one staff position due to the ease of deposits made automatically, no running to the bank and no return checks! Taking payments by credit card also makes it easier to receive payments.

Cons

Not being able to drill down into reports to find what specific totals include.

### "Procare for Preschools"

April 13, 2021

4.0

Overall, our entire school runs more smoothly than it did before procare. It automates and streamlines everything from what we do in the office, to parent and teacher communication and reports plus lesson plans!

Pros

We love how easy it is to integrate most everything we need - automated billing, staff timecards, reports, and leads.

Cons

I wish there was a way to schedule children based on what openings we have in the classroom. I have to create my own registration mapping and I feel like this is the last missing piece of the procare software.

Reason for choosing Procare Solutions

Procare (kinderlime at the time) had more of the features that we needed.

### "Review"

July 18, 2019

5.0

It has been a great system for me and I am very happy to have always had excellent support and help when I have called with questions.

Pros

This software is easy to use and understand. It is also well organized and is simple to use. When I first started this job, I was concerned about the "billing" that I was going to have to do weekly, but it is now one of the easiest parts of my job and I enjoy doing it.

Cons

The thing I like least is having to change my password often. It takes me a while to remember my new password.

Reason for choosing Procare Solutions

Again, not sure, I was not working here at the time the software was purchased

### "Procare Thoughts"

July 3, 2019

5.0

Procare helps me organize my school and my self. I can set up billing, scheduling and rosters so I am in control and I know exactly whats going on.

Pros

I love the organization of the software. I often have to look for something in a moments notice and the ease of knowing where everything is helps a great deal. There are many functions and once you learn how to use them, they are very helpful. Tucker the penguin is also so festive!

Cons

Sometimes it can be hard to navigate when I am looking for something. I can do a quick google search to figure it out or call customer support which both have been great to me.

### "ProCare"

July 22, 2019

4.0

Pros

This software has loads of functions that help us manage a large childcare center efficiently. It is being improved on all of the time as they are now moving to the ability for us to do daily reports, etc. through this same program. Tech support used to be a problem, long waits, not open at the right hours we needed, system was down a lot. Good news is that these things have improved a great deal over the past months.

Cons

When the internet connection is down, we can't do a thing. Also, the reports are not always what you want and it's confusing to create your own.

### "Sandbox is great!"

November 17, 2020

5.0

Before we implemented sandbox, we were still using an outdated Windows feature to keep track of our childcare data. Sandbox made this job so much easier. I love it! The best thing is absolutely their customer service!

Pros

Having all the attendance and child information easily accessible at your fingertips is the best! Their customer service is absolutely fantastic. There is someone always available on live chat and it is person I've seen or probably emailed or talked to before!

Cons

I don't really have any cons about this software.

Reason for choosing Procare Solutions

Ease of use and more cost effective.

### "Made my life easier!"

April 13, 2021

5.0

Pros

I love how easy this is to use. I have been in many other data management software systems for other employment and this is very simple to use. I feel confident clicking around to find what I need and not making mistakes or entering bad data. The customer support team deserves 6/5 stars. They are so, so, so phenomenal. Everyone on the phone is polite, has excellent customer service and is there to help answer your questions and teach you how to do the task so you can remember for next time. Really love this product!

Cons

I have the desktop software that also connects to the app on my phone. I wish the phone had the "Live Room Status" back- it was very easy at a glance to see how full my rooms were without a ton of clicking around. The only struggle is the desktop software takes a while to load/open. This could be my computer issue and not a software issue, though.

### "Child Care Made Easier with ProCare"

July 4, 2019

5.0

I started our child care center with very little staff and have needed to handle all of the business-side of the center as well as needing to spend a good amount of time in the classrooms. ProCare saves me so much time with its variety in reports that can be run with the click of a button, with all of the different modules that can be added to our account, and with the neat features like the Keyless Entry System and Check In/Out kiosk. What I appreciate the most, though, is the professional appearance it gives to our center. The parents love it almost as much as I do!

Pros

I appreciate the webinars available for all of the different aspects/modules ProCare provides. The customer service reps are always very good about directing me to what to look at or to do remote assistance. I appreciate that I can figure things out at my own pace as well.

Cons

Honestly, it is just finding the time to familiarize myself with every thing ProCare provides. Every time I figure out something new, it saves me so much time!

### "Kinderlime for our After School Program"

November 19, 2019

4.0

See "what I like most about" Kinderlime Bringing stakeholders into the fold. The ease of contacting parents. Set up.

Pros

I have only been using and training my staff to use this program for about a month now. I find that it's real easy to navigate through and it was super quick to get the students info that we support crossed over from city side to Kinderlime. We needed this program to not only track attendance & meals, but the real deal is the ability to create lesson plans and share them with the parents. The stakeholders is what we needed to bring closer to our program, and I believe that this app will do just that! First week of sharing our programs lessons with parents, and I'm already getting positive feedback! The ease of being able to contact a parent with photos, how their child's day is, or an injury, is so much easier now that I don't have to pull out an over-sized binder and search for the correct contact info.

Cons

I don't like that there is only one time frame in which I can create a prompt when students are being signed out. I have 2 different time frames in a week 12:20-3:00 and 3:05-5:00 in which a prompt asks the child's parents why the child is being signed out before 3 or 5pm. The program only allows one time frame.

### "Updating our check in station"

June 15, 2016

5.0

Procare is an awesome addition to our school. We made that decision in 2012 I think. It helps with streamlining day to day functions. We were able to do away with the time clock! We have accurate sign in/out information at our fingertips. Our parents love Tuition Express!

Pros

The ability to do so many things.

Cons

The way some of the items are stated makes it hard to know what you are going to get if you use it . Some of the reports are hard to know which one to use to get the information you are looking for at that time.

February 26, 2019

Procare is the brain of my daycare business. I use it to manage families, kids and billing/collection, as well as staff records.

Pros

It has a lot of features. It can do almost everything I need.

Cons

Support is good but difficult. Every time I have to call for support, the waiting line is over 30 min. Also, the price of hardware like check-in devices or card readers are higher than the average market.

Miguel - Thanks for sharing that Procare is the "brain" of your business; that's such a great phrase! As to support, call volumes do vary, but often later in the day (after 2:00 p.m. Pacific) it's easier to get through--and you can submit a help request online (link below). Regarding hardware, you may use any computer that meets Procare¿s system requirements as a check-in station. Hope that helps, and thanks again for your feedback. http://procaresupport.com/contact-procare-support/technical-support/

March 20, 2018

Security check in, family emergency information, FTE rosters, and account info

Pros

I love the fact that ProCare is very secure and maintains updates consistently. Once understood, it is pretty user-friendly and allows to obtain reports to access specific information for analysis.

Cons

It takes a lot of time to learn the software and how to navigate it. There are many different methods to obtain student attendance and classroom reports.
