All in One Program for Childcare
Procare manages parent notifications, communication and billing for all families at the facility. As I parent I use Procare to monitor my child's acitivities throughout the day, as well as communicate with caregivers through the messaging features. We also have auto-pay setup in Procare for weekly billing. Procare is also what is used to sign children in and out of daycare daily and all documents are housed in the Procare app as well.
- Daily child sign-in/out for all guardians or authorized adults.
- Messaging app functions very well.
- Notifications for different types of activities can be turned on or off based on parent preference.
- Cannot setup or change auto-pay settings in the app.
- If multiple children are in different schools that both use Procare, you must switch schools in order to see notifications from each child.
- Cannot see/control who messages go to whether they need to be see by room staff or administration.
- Child activity monitoring.
- Daily sign-in, sign-out.
- Billing
- Messaging
- Consolidates all services into one place.
- Organizes many aspects of running a center within one application.

Excellent Quality, Excellent Price
Procare has allowed us to move forward in a positive way, implementing more online communication with parents. It provides easy access for parents to check in throughout the day and communicate directly with the caregivers in their child's classroom. This open communication proves to aid in the level of care we wish to provide at our center. Communication includes daily information about their child, monthly newsletters and curriculum information.
- Track attendance
- Accepts monetary payments
- Customer service
- Responding to feedback and customer suggestions
- Formatting of their home screen
- Changing email addresses attached to accounts (staff and parents)
- Message filtering for large group messages
- Running reports
- Daily activates
- Attendance tracking
- parent communication is more fluid
- changes in daily schedules are quickly communicated
- child security is handled well
- we are able to send documents and receive parent signatures through the program
We have used Sandbox, which was bought out by Procare and will become obsolete. The program had many good features, but in most ways we find that Procare has surpassed Sandbox. The interface as a staff person is very user-friendly, messages are more easily sent to parents, and parents have found this simple to navigate as well.
