    Procare is a great overall for the director, the finance manager, teachers, and parents. As a director, I am able to view the billing, see who is signed-in, communicate with teachers and parents. I don't use the teacher scheduling feature, but I should check into it.

    Pros:
    I love the Family Messaging feature of Procare for teachers and families to communicate directly with each other. Plus, now there is private message for families that are split. I also like the office messaging for families to communicate directly to the office when needed. I also appreciate the help button and customer support chat. When I have a question, I first try the help button to search for an article to answer my question, if I cannot find the answer, then I use the customer support chat. Once in a while, I will need to go further and talk to a live person.
    Cons:
    I don't love the newsletter feature. I use it and I am glad that there are templates to use to help make a newsletter. But I find that I would like to have more options and additional choices on colored backgrounds. I might need to look into creating a newsletter on a different platform and uploading it to Procare. There are times that Procare is down. That can be frustrating. But we have a back-up paper sign-in when that occurs.

    Reasons for choosing Procare Solutions

    I have purchased Brightwheel for a trial, but ended up not going with them. I chose Procare because of the financial part of things. ALL parties need to be onboard to switch. The financial side of things with Procare are going well, and the thought of switching all of the billing made us cringe. We stayed with Procare.

    Awesome Daycare Software

    We love being able to provide lots of pictures of the parents children and information about their day. We love all of the features that Procare has to offer. The products only weakness is that we can't take credit cards as parents can't be billed for credit card fees directly and this would be too much work for us to deal with.

    I love all of the features contained in Procare. It easy to use and easy for parents to get information about their child each day from it.
    Cons:
    I wish parents could use credit cards and get billed directly for credit card processing fees. All we can currently do is to take ACH Transfers. For credit cards we use Square.

    Cons:
    The lesson planning area is hard to navigate and a bit clunky to use. When you change an activity it changes all lesson plans for every class in the school.

    Procare has been a huge help to our center. It makes running day-to-day operations smoother, saves time, and has supported the growth of our business. Beyond the product itself, what stands out is how much they seem to genuinely care about their customers and our success.

    I’ve been a Procare user for years and really appreciate how responsive they are to customers. The system has continued to grow and update over time based on real feedback, and it shows. Every interaction I’ve had with their team has been professional and helpful.
    Cons:
    Honestly, I don’t have any major complaints. The system works well and does exactly what it should. We use it every day and have never had any major issues.

    Procare offered more, their customer service was superior, and they are transparent about their practices

    Pros:
    I have evaluated many child care management solutions, and Procare is the best. It has been around in the market long enough to have worked out the bugs, and they are adding new features all the time. The system isn't perfect, but it's always improving and it works wonderfully for home child care, as well as larger centers (I've run both).
    Cons:
    I have had issues recently with the support team, due to some business changes and updates to my account that needed to be made. I've always had a good experience with support in the past, so I'm hopeful that this was a one-time problem.

    Reasons for choosing Procare Solutions

    Procare is simply, most mature, feature rich, and validated software I've seen.

    Reasons for switching to Procare Solutions

    Brightwheel just wasn't a reliable enough system, and their billing platform left me frustrated every time I used it.

    This program has always been easy to navigate and understand. There are many different types of reports you can make for important data needed. We love having all of the students information easy to access. The parents love the communication through daily reports showing meals and naps, incident reports, and pictures throughout the day.
    Cons:
    I am not a fan of the new messaging system with it going to two different places. We do not allow access to out teachers so it is not needed and makes us miss some of the messages.

    Reasons for switching to Procare Solutions

    New school was using Procare. I had used it in the past at a different school, but they changed it to their corporate program. I always missed Procare.

    Pros:
    What I like most about Procare is the ease of use. It was very simple to set up & very simple to get started using for myself, the staff and the parents. If we ever had any questions a representative was there to help us along the way.
    Cons:
    If I had to pick a con about Procare, which is hard to do, it would be that some parents experienced minor glitches with setting up their automatic ACH payments. All in all, any of those were taken care of within days.

    Reasons for choosing Procare Solutions

    I chose Procare because I felt like we would be more satisfied. The representative was very upfront with all information & features including offering the best pricing immediately. Bright wheel quoted a cost, then when I stated I decided to go with Procare, they came down on their cost in attempt to "beat Procare out". I just personally did not care for that approach to business. Also, there was no feature or capability that Brightwheel had that Procare did not. Plus, I preferred the layout and ease of use of Procare.

    Pros:
    I like the price, it is much cheaper than Brightwheel. Customer support has been excellent, that is actually the reason I chose them. I like the staff management module.
    Cons:
    I accept check and online payments and charge different amounts based on how customers pay. I would like to be able to limit customers who signed up to pay by check to ONLY be able to pay by check, and not use the card payment function. Also, the filtering of students gets a little clunky. In the student module I can't filter by 2 options, like "kids who attend 2 days" and have "allergies." The filter returns "kids who attend 2 days" OR "kids who have allergies" which is a large data set of all the "kids who attend 2 days" OR kids who have "allergies." I need to filter for both, so I want to see "kids who attend 2 days and also have allergies," just the 2 day kids who have allergies.

    Better customer service and pricing made me choose Procare
