    Pros:
    The convenience is great for the number of kids we handle daily. We are able to keep our parents updated all day with message and picture. There is no need to call parents on the land line all the time to check in.
    Cons:
    More often than not there is a glitch with checking children in and out or messages sending. I will say the technical support team is amazing and ALWAYS fixes our problem and is quick and polite.

    Reasons for choosing ChildPilot

    When we purchased from previous owners this was what they were using in house.

    Pros:
    [sensitive content hidden] has been instrumental in the deployment and training of our team since last winter. She continues to be our go to person when questions, issues, or new requests arise. She asks detailed questions so that the solutions CP offers are addressing our needs. She is very good at balancing our business needs and advocating for us with CPs developers. When there is a problem, she is quick to respond and keeps us apprised as solutions are developed. The platform has been very well received by our families and our staff. We like being able to share photos and information with families and especially like how many of our tasks we can now manage on a tablet versus on paper.
    Cons:
    The platform is customizable although there are times when what we request and what is provided doesn't fully align. My impression is that the developers give us what they think will work best instead of what is requested. This has happened with some features as well as some reporting. Part of this is ensuring that we are all speaking the same language which, when technology is involved, is difficult.

    Reasons for switching to ChildPilot

    Were looking for a platform that was more flexible and could accommodate the unique nature of an after school child care program. We were realizing significant increases in cost with our prior system and did not have opportunities to customize the platform to fit our needs.

    Pros:
    Very compact and overall useful; it saves time and money! Very user friendly!
    Cons:
    Bank fees are charged, deposited into First School account and then drafted from the account. We would love to see the change: we get our tuition and fees go straight to the bank/childpilot!

    Reasons for choosing ChildPilot

    Liked simplicity, design, and clear distinction between tuition and bank charges.

    Reasons for switching to ChildPilot

    ChildPilot offers customers an option to chose from e-card, credit or debit card. Fees are separated from the tuition.
