Procare Solutions offers everything you need to manage your child care business for one low monthly price. Pricing for Brightwheel starts at a specified rate for up to 15 children and once your center grows, you will then be charged an additional rate per student. As your business grows, so does the cost of running your center with an automated platform. 

 With Procare, you don’t pay more as your business grows.

Delays in payment processing create stress and cashflow problems. The Procare platform provides integrated in-house payment processing allowing your center to accept and process multiple types of payments without additional administration on your part. With Procare you can: 

• Accept credit or debit card payments in person, online or via the child care mobile app 
• Set up payments directly from the family’s bank account 

• Procare has proprietary integrated payment processing within the Procare platform, so your center will always get low fees and dedicated support.  
• Brightwheel doesn’t have its own integrated software. They use a third-party processor called Stripe, which offers higher rates and fees. That means Brightwheel cannot control the rates and fees that Stripe publishes.  
• Get next-day funding for credit cards and automatic payments from checking accounts to ensure you are not waiting for your funds 
• Electronically process checks without traveling to the bank 
• Accept and process split fees or co-payments from government agencies without additional hassle 

The faster you can turn around your billing and payments, the quicker the money goes into your bank account and is ready to be used. Procare is the only center management software that has integrated proprietary payment processing.

As early learning centers struggle to hire and retain staff, and as far too many qualified teachers are leaving the field, an easy-to-use, 21st-century online curriculum is vital for success. Procare offers a 100% digital curriculum that embeds seamlessly, giving everything teachers need to provide high-quality instruction for infants to pre-K at their fingertips. The Procare platform embeds digital curriculum from Learning Beyond Paper to help with creating lesson plans digitally, student assessments and managing lesson plans by classroom without the stress and time-consuming task of outdated paper formats.

Procare offers a total solution that can deliver the entire early childhood education ecosystem — lesson planning, lesson delivery within the classroom as well as assessment and family engagement. Being able to do all of these with one platform simplifies classroom management and planning and reduces costs. Learn how Procare Early Learning saved a child care center up to $1600/month.

Procare has an easy-to-use child care mobile app that is fully integrated for staff and family engagement. The platform allows centers to stay connected with the families they serve by sharing important moments, information, learning milestones, contactless check-in/out, mobile tuition payments and more.

Procare’s child care mobile app has over 2 million downloads and an average lifetime user rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars from staff and parents.  Staff can easily track activities and send messages to families, and parents can make tuition payments in the mobile app, view their child’s progress and updates throughout the day and stay connected through the child care mobile app.

Parents love the Procare app and how easy it is for them to stay connected with their child throughout the day. “It tells me everything I need to know and more about my son’s day at preschool, provides an effective way for me to communicate with his teachers, and pay for his schooling all in one. Not to mention they can send pictures, share his meals, and give me hourly updates. THIS APP IS AWESOME!”
