The ease of the app, for us and the parents, having the kids ready to leave when the parents get here, so they are not having to wait, has been fantasic. Pros The ease! When parents use the app the way they are supposed to, we can have the kids ready to walk right out the door as soon as the parents pull up. Cons We have had just a couple parents not want to buy into it but they are the parents that we can't get to sign up for anything.

Program Director Child Day Care Services ### "FetchKids has been a lifesaver!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 September 18, 2024 FetchKids is AWESOME for our camp use. With over 150 kids picking up within a 2 hour time frame, the app works wonders for limiting an excessive dismissal line and getting kids out the door quickly. We also use FetchKids for our after school program during the year. The app offers many different features (in addition to its real time dismissal function) that are very helpful such as attendance, alternative extracurriculars, broadcast messages etc. Pros The best part of FetchKids is the ease of pick ups for both the parents and staff in our program by giving real time updates on parent arrival time. Cons The website at times is not the most user-friendly, in the sense that it is hard to locate the function I am looking for.

Director of Auxiliary Programs Education Management ### "FetchKids Has Been a Game-Changer" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 11, 2024 Pros FetchKids has been a game-changer for the dismissal process of our after school program. Because parents can pick up their kids at any time within a 3 hour window, knowing when parents are coming has enabled us to have their child ready when they arrive saving everyone a lot of time and energy. The parents have provided overwhelming positive feedback on the efficiency of using the app. My late stay staff has reported they appreciate knowing when a child is getting picked up so they can assist the child in finishing homework, packing up or completing a task before leaving. There have also been times where it was incredibly helpful to have a record of who picked up a child. FetchKids' staff has been helpful, professional and reacts to our questions/need for help in a very timely manner. Cons The only challenge to using FetchKids were for our Android users - often the predicted time of arrival was off by several minutes.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor September 19, 2024 Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your experience using FetchKids. We greatly appreciate it. With regard to the timing for Android users, we will investigate this further on our end. It is device specific, which might imply that it's related to the user's specific Android phone, however we will do our best to resolve this issue. FB Fatima B.

Pros As a child activity center, we like the variety of options we have for keeping track of our students and communicating with our parents. FetchKids has alleviated our phone traffic and given us a way to streamline communications with our parents. It also allows gives us an estimated time of arrival for pick ups so that we have the kids ready to go when the pick up arrives.

" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 7, 2024 Overall, this platform serves us well as a small after-school program. The communication team is open to our feedback and responsive to our questions. Pros We like that it is an affordable software system for our small organization. We also like that our account rep is very responsive to our needs and questions. The customer service via email is great. Cons I wish there was a push notification option so we could message all enrolled or selected accounts. Generally the communication with accounts has areas where it could improve. We would love to see more user friendly or customizable reporting that we could do with the dashboard.
