Rock Spring Kids Day Out - Atlanta, GA

My Procare Story

Rock Spring Kids' Day Out - Atlanta, GAHello, I’m Cheryl Johnson, director of Rock Spring Kids’ Day Out & Preschool. Kids’ Day Out (KDO) was begun in 1966 as a baby-sitting co-op by a group of five church friends who were members of Rock Spring Presbyterian Church. Initially they took turns meeting in each other’s homes. Soon the group became so popular it moved to the Church and for more than thirty-five years, KDO continued to operate as a “mothers’ morning out” program. In 2005 we became a full fledged preschool, a process which included implementing developmentally appropriate curricula and requiring teachers to upgrade their credentials.

We have a culturally diverse student and staff population with families from all over the world including Mexico, Italy, Ireland, Bulgaria, France, India, and of course, our own neighborhood. We currently have an enrollment of seventy-five children, eight classrooms, and a staff of twelve with more than 100 years combined experience. Our pupil teacher ratios are lower than required by the State of Georgia, NAEYC, or SACS.

For many years we used two separate computers, one for word processing and another to run an old DOS program for billing and accounting. A few years back we switched to Procare. What a joy to have everything on the same computer! Tracking Family Data and Child Care Billing was so easy and accurate. And, what a relief to have immediate help available by calling Procare’s 800 number. Recently we upgraded to a new computer. Installing and moving our Procare files from the old to the new computer was very straightforward. Procare Technical Support was incredibly helpful every step of the way. Thank you, Procare!
