Get Excited for Our Upcoming Trends Report!

As you plan for the future, it’s important to be equipped with comprehensive information on what is happening in the child care industry.  

That’s why Procare Solutions conducts an annual survey of tens of thousands of child care leaders, managers, teachers and other stakeholders in the early education space to better understand the current state of the industry regarding technology usage. 

We then compile responses into a report that illustrates benchmarks and how automation can put time back into child care providers’ days.   Check out the 2023 Child Care Management Software Industry Trends Report to learn its findings!

To thank our participants who shared their feedback for our newest report (watch for it to be released in early 2024!), we gave away five iPads and 100 Lakeshore Learning gift cards each valued at $100. 

Thanks to all who participated and here are the winners!

How Much Money Could Automation Save Your Center?

One of the findings of the last Procare Solutions trend report is that roughly half of centers are still relying on manual processes. Is your center still relying on manual processes to collect and process tuition?

Procare Solutions offers financial management tools to child care centers, including the ability to do multi-family billing and send invoices. Procare takes care of automatic billing and payments, making it easier for parents to receive the documentation needed to file claims to their dependent-care account administrators for reimbursement.

A full end-to-end solution that provides child care management software and payment processing in one place makes your business more efficient while improving your bottom line.  

With Procare, you get a solution that helps you manage these top challenges to drive more to your bottom line and increase your profitability, including: 

• Enabling families to pay via the Procare child care mobile app 
• Automated invoicing 
• Ledger posting 
• Quicker funding (next day in most cases!) 
• Reduced administrative payroll hours processing tuition payments
