On the staff side, very user friendly. Much better than walkies and overhead announcements.

Also maybe putting a comment section in the drop down option for marking absent to type a specific reason in.

I love that parents can make adjustments to their child's schedule with ease and right on their phone.

There is no information for parents about the fact that they cannot change the main mode of dismissal (that the office has to do that). The Configuring Dismissal Time screen makes no sense.

I do not like how difficult it is to fix a dismissal mistake when a user accidentally dismisses a student. It is very challenging to get that student back into the que.

We are grateful for the security features PIKMY KID allows us to have in place.

PikMyKid has been a pleasure to work with and their customer service is outstanding.

The systematic process and ease of use for parents, teachers, and staff.

We started using this software this year. It is great for getting the kids out of the building in an orderly and calm way.

Customer service is awesome and very accommodating. They worked diligently with our school district's IT department to make it a complete success.

Love the ease of seeing who has put in and how they are going home.

Getting all the parents to buy-in and actually download the app AND announce their child every day is a struggle, especially when you have alternate family members picking up a child.

Tutorials are very helpful. Customer service has been very helpful.

PikMyKid support has been super helpful and timely in their responses to both me and and the parents at my school.

Overall, our experience has been positive. It took a good 2-3 weeks to figure out our overall procedure for dismissal to allow the product to work the best for us.

We have been extremely happy with pikmykid. Very easy to implement and administer.

It is easy to use and it is safer than our previous dismissal system.

With COVID and social distancing measures, we were unable to host formal training and suffered because of it. It was difficult getting parents on board and in the know of why/how to use the app.

Our parents love it and I love that it allows us to be efficient even during this unique school year.

Outstanding, firs our needs exactly and we are a school or close to 700 students with 3 dismissal times. Easy to learn, easy to teach parents, and most important, amazing customer service.

Overall my experience with PikMyKid has been AMAZING. We love this service and the ease of use for our afternoon dismissals.

The ProCare software is powerful and affordable. I love the new features and ideas that are constantly coming and I'm always looking forward to apply new functionality.

I love that this program helps me to do my paperwork side much faster and the auditors love it when they come to check records.

The tech support is the best, they're (almost) always there to help with any situation. Everyone is so kind and supportive.

I like how easy it is to learn and use. The layout is user friendly and easy to navigate through.

I love the simplicity of daily, the great report options, and general accountability functions. The customer support team is always there with ready answers.

Sometimes we have troubles after software updates and that causes some inconvenience.

I love that it’s easy to use. The ledger is easy to explain and the tutorial are amazing.

It is amazing as far as conrtol cost, to attendence, all the user defined items make my job easy.

I like the on-boarding of new families as well as the integration with Tuition Express. I take attendance and run billing in one swoop - and parents can just as easily pull their tax report.

When I have problem the IT help is very helpful and are able to help me out or send me to tutorials that help.

What I like most about this product is the integration possibilities - tuition, parental info, employee info, child info, payroll, immunization info, scheduling, and so much more.

They seem to have server problems all the time. They blame firewalls when we know it is not.

Over all Pro-Care service our needs and the customer service is outstanding.

I absolutely love ProCare  and recommend it to all my ECE friends.

We use numerous types of software for our multiple programs. Procare is by far one of the most user friendly, high quality, and best supported software programs we use.

I love that we can customize it to fit our needs. It makes it so nice to have everything in one place and your fingertips.

It has been having a few glitches lately. It's very frustrating when you can't access your information because server is down.

I like that everything is in one app. I also use the Kid Reports app for and I love that all of the data is transferred automatically.

The support team is wonderful. Very helpful when I call with questions or need help navigating the program.

Their product is easy to use their service is excellent and their staff is friendly to work with.

I like how much time I save having everything I need in one place. I really like the parent portal which is very popular with parents.

I like that you can put the staff information in there as well as the children's. The use of the software is good.

This is best integrated child care center management software on cloud with easy to manage customers, teachers and also accounts.

Procare is very similar to the system we were using before, with some advantages. Using Procare has saved us time and money.

The biggest hindrance we have felt is its inability to work properly with the Mac operation system.

Our childcare likes Procare for its ease of use. Parents like it for the communication ability.

It is a great tool to use. Any company would do well to invest the man power and money In this software.

I love how easy it is to navigate through the software to find info that you need or require. The reports are amazing to run.

I love how easy the product is and how it is integrated into a platform I can use with my families.

Ease of use after initial set-up, competitive pricing, and stellar customer support.

Have problem with software and support only comment is it must be a  user issue. Never look at the problem.

The product was easy to use and navigate. Simple and clear instructions for families and amazing customer support.

Love that billing/collections through Tuition Express are completely integrated and reliable. Like the low processing costs of Tuition Express.

Being able to view past families and siblings is wonderful. All information in one place easily accessible and easy to make updates or corrections.
