Highly Recommend!

PROS

I highly recommend Daily Connection to everyone that owns a daycare! It’s super fast and effective for daycare owners to provide updates to families. It’s amazing as parents don’t need to pay to access the information, and it’s a very low monthly fee for providers. Not only can you send picture updates, but also minute long videos. I’ve been using this software for coming up 2 years, and have no complaints. All my parents LOVE it and it’s amazing how everything stores within the app. You are able to easily review pictures uploaded years back within a few seconds.

CONS

I truly don’t think I have any complaint off the top of my head. I’ve been using this system for awhile and have nothing to report

Reason for choosing Daily Connect

I choose daily connect for a few reasons: 1) the customer service when getting signed up as amazing. It was super quick and they were very easy to understand the process. 2) It costed my families receiving the information I inputted for $0. 3) It was very cost effective compared to other apps. 4) It’s appearance is super clean and easy to navigate for both me and my families.

Daily Connect just keeps getting better

Overall I'm thrilled with Daily Connect and recommend it to every family child care provider I know. It offers all the features I need, and then some!

PROS

I've been using DC almost since its beginning and it keeps getting better. The DC team continuously add features and are open to suggestions from users. Every time I contact them I get a reply very quickly. It has an attractive look, is easy to use, and is very customizable. I also like that all the information is saved in case I need to go back and look something up. I think it's a great value for the price!

CONS

I had to switch to Group in order to keep track of my own attendance, and now it requires 3 touches instead of a quick swipe to change from one child to another, but this is a very minor issue for me.

Reason for choosing Daily Connect

It was much less expensive than the others but still offered all the features I wanted in a daily report app. It's a little more expensive now, but still reasonably priced for a small family child care program.

Daily Connect

My overall experience is a positive one - my only complaint is the messaging feature for no other reason than that it could be a little confusing at times. Overall - I love the app and I think it is a great communication tool between the daycare and the parent/guardian.

PROS

I like all the options and customizations available. No one child is the same and their needs are all different, as are the parents needs - this software allows to customize anything from feeding and bathroom schedule to homework and play time. it allows the parent to update a child's schedule prior to arriving at daycare so the teacher can have feeding, sleeping, etc. details as well!

CONS

the messaging feature is a little weird - when receiving a message from a teacher, the parent cannot just simple respond. When a parent wants to send a message, the feature makes it feel like the message is not being sent as there is no way to make sure it is sent/received by the teacher - it just has a "save now" option.
