Our School Hangout

I highly recommend Our School Hangout. It has made my life as an administrator so much easier. Our team has embraced the use of the app 100% - even my senior teachers use it and love it. The parents like it.

PROS

[sensitive content hidden] provides the best customer service I have ever experienced. She is always available and open to suggestions. She assisted me through the entire transition to this platform and was so patient and listened without interruptions. This was been the best experience. I love that I can message or call parents from the app. We had a tornado and had to go to our shelter. I was able to call the parent so she knew we were safe and for her to get to a safe place. That ability to communicate with parents is a fabulous feature for me.

CONS

I really cannot think of anything negative to say about Our School Hangout. It is a different mind set than our previous program. Once I let that go, it has been wonderful. This program works very well with Apple products, there have been a few challenges with Android products. Once this was brought up however, it was addressed immediately and fixes were made.

Reasons for switching to Our School Hangout

We wanted something that did more for us. Our School Hangout is also local to us and we wanted to support a local business.

Vendor Response

Dear Laurie, thank you for your heartfelt review of Our School Hangout! We're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our platform and our customer service, particularly with the assistance provided during your transition. It's wonderful to know that our team's dedication to being available, open to suggestions, and patient has made such a difference for you. We're truly humbled by your appreciation for the communication features of our app, especially during emergency situations like the tornado incident you mentioned. Ensuring the safety and peace of mind of both educators and parents is one of our top priorities, and we're glad to hear that our platform could support you during such a critical time. Your feedback regarding compatibility with Android products is invaluable, and we're glad to hear that our team addressed this promptly to provide a smoother experience for all users. If you ever need any further assistance please let us know!

Responsive and always ready to be their best!

It’s been great.

PROS

We have shopped around for many different programs and none could deliver on the flexibility, versatility and responsiveness of OSH.

CONS

I want more powerful reporting at my fingertips. They’re always ready to pull any report I need, but more extensive reporting options are (hopefully) coming.

Excellent Preschool Management Software

First, I will say that customer service is top-notch and by the far the best I have encountered. Whether it's user error on our part or a process in the software, [sensitive content hidden] and her team are very quick to respond and to resolve the issue. Implementation was easy. [sensitive content hidden] met with us to understand our needs, helped us set up the program, and trained our staff in the way we could use the software program. Things flowed seamlessly once we implemented the software on the back end. Parents are happy to have an app to get updates about class happenings and to pay electronically. We highly recommend this software!

PROS

We implemented Our School Hangout at the start of this school year, and it has been a game-changer! Parents are able to easily access the site to see class updates and pay fees online.

CONS

There were a few glitches as we rolled out the product, but [sensitive content hidden] and her team were quick to fully resolve the issues. So, we have no complaints!

Reason for choosing Our School Hangout

We chose OSH because of its ease of use and incredible prompt response to our needs. The ability to talk to a person quickly about any issue made this software our top choice!

Reasons for switching to Our School Hangout

We needed a more comprehensive program that met all the needs of our preschool.

Vendor Response

HI Michelle, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with our customer service team and that our implementation process met your needs.

Excellent Option for Preschools

I have been very happy with Our School Hangout. It has saved me so much time because everything is automated. It has everything the parents need in one place, and it is easy to use. I would recommend Our School Hangout to any church preschool, small school, or daycare!

PROS

The software is easy to use and has everything I was looking for. Parents can pay their tuition, view preschool updates and resources. There is a directory so the parents can look up other families at the preschool and connect. Recently, we started using the teacher check in/out system and works great!

CONS

I always let the developer know if there are improvements they can make, and she tries her best to make those improvements.

Reason for choosing Our School Hangout

More to offer and a better price. Also, the developer was very easy to work with and lived close by. I felt she was truly invested in the development of the software and wanted to make the users happy.

Reasons for switching to Our School Hangout

Headmaster was very out of date and hard to use. Our School Hangout had a lot more features for me and the parents.

Vendor Response

Ansley, thank you for your positive review and for choosing Our School Hangout! We're delighted to hear that the software fulfills your preschool's needs with its user-friendly design and comprehensive features like tuition payment and the teacher check-in/out system.

Perfect website for managing our preschool

The personal attention to detail of our school's needs has been so appreciated. Most school administrators don't have time to be website geniuses! Since the website is so user friendly, we can make changes and additions to what we offer at our preschool and our community is easily informed.

PROS

In the past, we shunned the purchase of school management software because of the price. The features of products were far more than we needed for our small half-day preschool. When the developer contacted us, we shared this hesitancy to invest. The completely customizable features of the website made it so user friendly, we were immediately interested. Once the price of the use of the website was shown to be in relation to the size of the school, we were sold!

CONS

We haven't really worked out if there are cons to this website. Being one of the first users of this product, there were some questions that needed a quick answer. The developer was very quick to solve the issue or to give a date of when the issue would be resolved. Our School Hangout has ongoing improvements and updates that we haven't even started to use.

Reason for choosing Our School Hangout

Ease of use, customizable features, and affordable cost.

Vendor Response

Peggy, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! Since you were one of our first customers you provided excellent feedback and ideas for features, that once they were added to Our School Hangout, were huge time savers for other preschools using the product. We appreciate that you were part of the early beta and were patient as we worked through the bugs of the early release. Thank you again for your feedback!

Preschool-Friendly Management Tool

Learning a new software program in the middle of a school year was a bit of a challenge, but [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was there every step of the way to help us. She is hands on and wants to be sure OSH is helping us. If we have an issue, we can reach out to her and she responds promptly!

PROS

The ease of use. It is extremely easy for parents to set up an account and register their child for our programs. When I need to send out communications, I can send out an email blast to all parents within minutes, no looking up email addresses! Billing and payments are well organized and reports are easy to generate.

CONS

There really isn't anything. If we run into issues, they are resolved quickly.

Reasons for switching to Our School Hangout

Headmaster is not built for preschools. There were many features we couldn't use. Often payments were not in the correct place and we had to spend hours figuring out where the payments should be applied to.

Our School Hangout was a game-changer for us!

One of the things I like most about my experience with OSH was the customer support that I am given on a consistent basis. Whenever I have any issue at all, or just need help learning something new, I get answers and guidance right away.

PROS

Our School Hangout offers our company a portal for parents to view a calendar of classes, receive emails, notifications, blog postings, and other information that keeps them "in the know" regarding the various offerings we have for their registered students. They receive notifications from us for snow closures or delays based on their transportation group and attendance days. They can sign up for classes or camps, and pay for the class fee all on one convenient portal. For us, the reporting and payment management features were key. Being able to communicate with families based on their attendance days and transportation groups was key for us, as well as processing payments and connecting the accounting to our bank. OSH has been a game-changer.

CONS

I would like to have a "help" function where I could search a database for helpful instructions, "how-to's", and other tutorial type information. Also, I'm really looking forward to the new app!

Vendor Response

Leah, thank you for sharing your experience with Our School Hangout. We're thrilled to hear that our platform has been a game-changer for your organization, providing parents with a convenient portal for class info, notifications, and payments. We appreciate your feedback regarding a "help" function, and we want you to know that we are currently looking into ways to include and integrate such a feature. Additionally, we hope you have been enjoying the complementary app. Your support and suggestions mean a lot to us, and we'll continue to provide top-notch customer assistance whenever you need it.

Our School Hangout from a parent and administrator's perspective

Our School Hangout has saved me so much time as both a mom of a preschooler and as a director of a Parents' Morning Out program. As a director, it makes it simple to create classes, set up payments, and then just sit back as Our School Hangout takes it from there. Previously, I was sending parent payment emails and following up multiple times throughout the month with multiple families to collect each month's tuition. That task is now taken off my to-do list. Is there anything better than being given extra time in your day? As a parent, I don't even think twice about paying preschool tuition each month. Our School Hangout offers auto pay and again takes one more thing off my to-do list. Our School Hangout is efficient, user friendly, and an incredible time saver. The customer support Sarai offers whenever a question comes up is incredibly fast, professional, and helpful. Our School Hangout is an administrative and parental game changer.

PROS

Both as a parent and as an administrator, Our School Hangout makes both of my jobs easy. As a parent, Our School Hangout eliminated the need to get out my checkbook and write (literally) my only check each month. Our School Hangout offers auto pay for parents to pay the monthly tuition and sends an email that it's been paid. It could not be easier for parents! As a Parents' Morning Out administrator, Our School Hangout provides a convenient method that I can offer parents to register their child and then pay for our program from their phone. This is a must! Our School Hangout also does the administrative dirty work of sending tuition payment reminders and late fee notices to parents, which allows me to have a much more positive relationship with the parents. Our School Hangout is a game changer as a parent and as an administrator.

CONS

There's nothing that I don't like about Our School Hangout. If I have a question about anything at all, Sarai is so quick to respond and answer my question.

Vendor Response

Rachel, your review warms our hearts! We're thrilled that Our School Hangout has made your life easier in both your roles as a parent and administrator. Your appreciation for how it streamlines tasks and lightens your workload means the world to us. Thank you for choosing Our School Hangout, and we can't wait to continue being your trusted partner for years to come!

We LOVE Our School Hangout for our Preschool class!

Our overall experience with Our School Hangout has been wonderful!

PROS

We appreciate the ease of use and the number of helpful options included in the app. Class lists, Lesson plans, Photos, Important reminders, Private messages, Signs ups, Calendars, etc. There are so many different options and they are all easily accessible and easy to operate. It has made our classroom management so much easier.

CONS

I haven’t found any cons yet. I had a few issues upon setting up the app, but that turned out to be user error. I sent a message for help one evening and was surprised to have the solution emailed back to me literally within minutes. Absolutely zero concerns or complaints!

Happy Customer

PROS

From an accounting standpoint, I was a bit skeptical at first when the [sensitive content hidden] of our Preschool approached me about Our School Hangout since we already had a premier church software package but I agreed to view the product since I knew our existing software although adequate for accounting needs, did not have all of the capabilities and bells and whistles the Preschool needed like interacting with the parents, being able to post newsletters, storing records and documents, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Our School Hangout not only had everything the Preschool was looking for it also had all the accounting reports that I would need along with the capability to interface with our ledger. In fact, I have access to more reports now than I did before which makes it easier to reconcile payments every month. The owner/developer has also always been good to check in and to make sure I am satisfied and getting everything I need to do my job. All in all, I am very happy with the product and I know the Preschool is as well. No regrets in switching over.

CONS

Do not have any issues or complaints at this time.

Vendor Response

Tiffany, thank you for sharing your experience with Our School Hangout! We're glad to hear that despite initial skepticism, you found the software to be a perfect fit for both accounting needs and the preschool's broader requirements like parent interaction and record-keeping. It's great to know our reports and ledger integration have made your job easier. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to have met both your and the preschool's expectations. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're here to support you. Thank you for using Our School Hangout and for the positive review!
