Saint Francis
The one great benefit we have experienced is the automatic charging of the accounts. We used to have to charge the accounts each week.
Pros
I like that we can send mass emails to all of the parents at the same time, the children's dailies can be sent electronically, pictures can be taken of the children for the parents to see daily, can keep an up to date account of the parents tuitions.
Cons
Our parents have had some issues with the app and setting up their accounts. We have also had issues with the charges
Reasons for choosing Kangarootime
Easier to use and had all of the elements we were looking for
Reasons for switching to Kangarootime
We switched so that we could use less paper and go green.

Kangarootime Pros and Cons
Kangarootime has been easy to navigate as far as invoices and billing. The team that we were set up with to launch the app for our school was phenomenal and responded quickly. The PDF files of "How-To" for Kangarootime that were provided for us to share with new families were very helpful as well.
Pros
This software has features that allow childcare centers to communicate with families as well as send pictures of their children.
Cons
The app does not notify families when a photo has been sent and our teachers find it difficult to manage the "rooming" feature. The function of tagging children in photos seems to be more difficult and has more steps than other apps that I have used in other daycare centers.
Reasons for choosing Kangarootime
Kangarootime directly linked to our key less entry system KISI which allows parents easy and secure access to enter our building.

Checks many of the boxes we hoped for
Overall, mostly satisfied with KT. They have an extremely responsive and devoted support staff - I cannot say enough about their support staff, one of the best I've worked with across multiple software implementations across the childcare, small business support, and insurance industries in the past 10 years. It's clear they are still trying to quickly iterate and working out the kinks and idiosyncrasies that come up. Their software development seems to struggle a bit compared and it seems like there is something missing - a guiding vision unifying all the various modules contained in their program
Pros
One stop shopping without extensive software purchases - this software combines a childcare center database, daily reporting app for parents, document manager, child attendance, employee timecard, parent and staff messaging, billing and merchant service (payments), reporting/analytics
Cons
Billing is not intuitive and difficult to learn. It does not integrate easily with our accounting software (quickbooks). Check in/out module can be difficult to use on a tablet due to small size of icons (recommend using the largest tablet you can afford, otherwise icons are tiny). Software does not allow admin to restrict staff to a certain IP address, meaning staff are clocking in/out from anywhere (potential for abuse if staff are clocking in from the parking lot, etc.)
Reasons for switching to Kangarootime
We were looking for a software that brought all of the features offered by KT together in one package and more flexibility with billing options
Response from Kangarootime

KangarooTime Review
Overall our experience has been good.
Pros
The excellent customer support we always receive. And the fact that they take our ideas and implement them the best they can.
Cons
Invoices don't go through like they are supposed to on some families. Which causes frustrations.
Reasons for switching to Kangarootime
We wanted something more streamline and modern.
