CareDay is the future of childcare software!

Overall, the experience with CareDay has been great! Having everything in one place is so easy and efficient! Teachers really love how easy it is to use compared to other apps.

PROS

CareDay is an all in one stop shop where others do not have all features available and require the use to go through various apps or softwares. The biggest feature is having billing included in the app where we can process tuition but parents/customers can review their billings directly.

CONS

When adding tuition to rooms, it would be helpful to allow the admins to edit pricing for the room rather than deleting all pricing for the room and adding again.

Reason for choosing CareDay

The billing in CareDay makes it so much easier than having to go through two software systems. It allows for more transparency with families and less work on admin/staff.

Reasons for switching to CareDay

There was a change in ownership and knowing how much more robust CareDay is versus its competitors it was a no brainer in switching.

Vendor Response

Laura, thank you for you review! We are so happy you are happy with your experience using CareDay. Editing tuition rates definitely has merit and we will look into making that change!

Careday is the best childcare app I've used!

I love this so much more than any competitive app, and in my opinion, there is no competition to the ease of using Careday and how critical it is to put daily use.

PROS

I love the ease of using the app and how there are so many things that the app covers. Careday allows me to see scheduling, which kiddo has an allergy, any medications a child uses, and be able to filter potties, photos, naps, notes ECT. I love that it really has everything on there!

CONS

As a teacher, I would say I like least how many photos you are able to select at one time to post, BUT in the grand scheme of things, that is so miniscule.

Reasons for switching to CareDay

Careday has everything we needed that the other apps couldn't provide and is so much easier to navigate and won't crash like the old apps did.

If you are looking for a great software to manage your childcare, CareDay is what you need!

Overall, I am VERY pleased with my CareDay experience! It has been such a wonderful software to use at our center to store data and communicate. Out of all the childcare software I have used in the past, CareDay is hands down the BEST!

PROS

CareDay helps me stay on top of all childcare management tasks! I am able to keep track of enrollment, parent/child data, and communicate with my staff and families! It really helps to ensure that the children and families are receiving the best care possible.

CONS

I wish it were easier to distinguish schedule changes from transitions on the schedule feature. Also, I wish there was an easier way to see if a classroom has an available space in their room for the day (child on vaca, etc.)

Reasons for switching to CareDay

The app we were using was not tailored to fit our needs as a center.

Vendor Response

Annie, we are so happy that CareDay has helped your center with communication and analyzing your data. CareDay strives to be an all inclusive childcare management tool. Thank you for leaving us a review!
