Daycare Tuition Collection Made Easy
For many people who use Procare Software, the issue of daycare tuition collection is a thing of the past. By using Procare’s payment processing solution centers can eliminate handling paper money or checks. Payments are received 5 different ways (outlined below) and tuition fees are deposited to your account overnight. Parents are automatically emailed receipts and can check their balance online at any time!
Easy Ways for Parents to Pay – And For You to Collect
- Card Swipe Processing for Childcare: Parents pay just like at the grocery store by swiping their debit or credit card at a card reader connected to a computer at your front desk (or a staff person may swipe the card for them) and you get the lowest card processing rates in the industry.
- Online Payments for Childcare: Parents can pay at their leisure–from work, home or on the go.
- Pay at Check-In: Parents see their balance as they check in and simply swipe their card to pay. The Procare Touch Check-In Computer includes an integrated card reader, or an external USB card reader may be attached to any computer.
- Recurring Card Payments: Store encrypted parent credit card information to collect tuition payments when they are due.
- Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) – Weekly or monthly payments transfer from each parent’s bank account directly into yours. Learn more about Electronic Funds Transfers for Childcare.
Since Tuition Express is fully integrated with Procare, payments and are automatically recorded to each family’s ledger card and deposit reports are created for you.
