Procare allows me to “work smart and not hard.” I have used this software for almost ten years and this company is constantly improving. I have referred several other daycare providers to this program and it has been a great benefit to them as well.

Procare’s Proprietary Integrated Payment Processing is Easier and Gets You Paid Faster

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
• Lillio doesn’t have its own integrated software. It uses a third-party processor called Stripe, which offers higher rates and fees. That means Lillio 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.

Grow Your Center

Attracting new families is a key part of operating a successful child care business. To do that well, you need to know how effective you are at enrolling families who show an interest in your center.  

But keeping up with tasks such as following up with prospective families, often known as leads, and waitlists is laborious. With Procare’s integrated lead insights feature, you can:  

• Streamline and increase enrollment with lead management 
• Centralize record-keeping 
• Track enrollment from start to finish  
• Automate scheduling and follow-up 
• Offer digital online registration 

The Procare platform allows you to track interested families and engage with parents who are ready to make a decision and follow families from the time they show interest, through the entire enrollment process. And even better, with the Procare insights feature, centers will be able to keep track of outgoing students to monitor when a class opening will become available.

No other center management platform in the market can give you this type of end-to-end reporting and tracking.

Embedded Curriculum 

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 is the only 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.

Lillio owns and embeds FunShine Express curriculum with its child care management software. Funshine Express offers different packages and memberships based on the age and number of students in your classroom. The average price for a class of 15 students using Funshine Express would typically cost about $2,100 per year. While Funshine Express provides activities for each month, these activities are used individually and do not build on each other. The activities in Procare Early Learning are laid out in a developmental progression. Skills build upon each other, scaffolding children’s learning.

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.
