January 1, 2019 5.0 Pros I loved that it keeps track of child profiles, parent information, payments and attendance. It has been wonderful to use. Cons It was a little hard to get used to after using a different program, but it wasn't anything I couldn't get used to. Review Source CT Cody T. CEO / Owner Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timesavr- On the way to greatness!" September 20, 2019 4.0 Amazing ! Our group has grown with timesavr and is a backbone to our operations. Pros I love not just the functionality of the product but customer executive's story and organic growth and community connection. support is always available, features reflect the needs of us in Alberta and the software is easy to use as well as affordable. Cons The development has been amazing but would like to see further development in areas like a parent portal- allowing families to manage their own registrations and time away, auto-filling and registering open spaces in programs and payment options and tax receipt access, cutting out our need of staffing for these tasks. The addition of these features would put Timesavr on par with many of the bigger platforms. I see these best being marketed as add on options. As for the current software, there tends to be glitches from time to time but support is great.

Owner/ director Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Update doesn't work as fast as the old program " February 15, 2017 2.0 After the last update I had to change all my tablets to be compatible with timesavr and I find that it is a lot slower now and that the invoices won't transfer to quickbooks and that only the one current invoice is printed at a time so families with multiple children don't have all children's fees listed on one invoice Pros The ability to sign kids in and out as well as staff and it keeps track of hours and that you can invoice from the program Cons That it is sometimes very slow to log children in and out and that the invoices don't transfer to quick books Review Source Response from Kwiksol Corporation February 16, 2017 Thanks for your review Shannon. Please note that the server does not slow down during peak times, but your local internet connection may if you're using a cable internet service such as Shaw cable since their technology forces an entire neighbourhood to share a single pipe which means your internet can slow down during peak times. DSL (such as Telus) technology does not suffer from this limitation. A recent update also included improvements to the new invoice page for families which means all charges are now included on the same invoice. I hope that addresses the concern you mention regarding invoices. Also, you should be able to import all transactions into QuickBooks as before. Please contact me directly if you're having problems with this feature by emailing me at support@timesavr.net. And new online registrations are automatically added to the "unconfirmed" list and can only be made active by the system administrator. Parents do not have the ability to do this. LM Lindsey M. Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Make your life easier" September 20, 2019 5.0 The biggest problem I have solved is time management. I have saved countless hours with this program each month. Pros The ease of use has been the biggest pro. It took minimal training for me to feel comfortable using this program. It meets so many needs I have for my day to day tasks. So many of the things that previously took hours of my work day are now done with the click of a button. I feel much more organized and I am able to access information so easily. I am able to confidently answer parent and staff questions that would have previously had to have been answered by our office administrator. Cons Certain features are a bit tricky to find. I follow the path that makes the most sense to me , and sometimes I have a hard time finding what I am looking for. Once I figure it out, though, I have no problem finding it next time. Switched from [Child Care Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/80715/Child-Care-Pro/) TimeSavr was recommended to us by many colleagues in the childcare field. Review Source MR Margaret R. Head of School Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great features, Great price" September 23, 2019 4.0 TimeSavr has been a great choice for our school. Customer executive is very helpful with any questions and offers great support. We have even sent a wish list for features we would like to see in the future! Pros I was searching for a childcare management solution for our school. We have two locations and offer programming for students ranging in age from 2 1/2 years to Grade 8. Timesavr offered all the features that we needed. We could add in as many program options as needed and handle the invoices and collection of tuition from our families. Cons The registration form for families does not have the flexibility to add questions in the order we would like to put them. Alternatives considered [Procare Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/23486/Procare-Child-Care-Management/) Reason for choosing TimeSavr As we are located in Canada, Sandbox only offered a credit card option to our families for tuition.

Program Coordinator/Owner Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Timesavr Review for Out of School Care Program" September 21, 2019 5.0 Because I have Timesavr, I was able to receive several registrations online through my website. This helps to put income in my pocket. I like that it is streamlining my billing and attendance calculations, before this used to take me about 2 days. Pros I liked that the pricing was reasonable and affordable for my small start up. I also like that you can customize many features and that it makes billing easy (such as automated billing, and subsidy calculations), by allowing me to store and record information in one safe spot. Cons As with any childcare software, there is a learning curve. It is the same with this product as well, the team is very supportive and is always ready to answer your questions. Alternatives considered [Lillio](https://www.capterra.com/p/134048/HiMama-Preschool-Child-Care-App/) Reason for choosing TimeSavr This product did not have a nasty startup cost, it also is more affordable and offers functionality that is consistent with the way daycares operate in Alberta. Review Source BJ Bradi J. Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TimeSavr Review" September 25, 2019 4.0 Overall my experience has been great. The customer service is quick and clear. Pros This program has saved me hours on payroll and greatly reduced errors. Cons It semi-regularly gets bogged down. Entering data becomes very slow. I have to log out then back in to regain functionality. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing TimeSavr TimeSavr is user friendly and comprehensive in its features. Review Source DB Durray B. Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Timesavr" September 20, 2019 4.0 Customer executive is really quick to give help and support when I ask for it. He takes our thoughts and suggestions into account and makes changes. Pros Having everything I need in one place, I can Switch programs easily. I can access it anywhere. Cons Each program is separate so I can't transfer children and educators between programs. Reason for choosing TimeSavr We could run invoices, have all the family information in one place Switched from [Child Care Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/80715/Child-Care-Pro/) Timesavr was a better overall system for our needs. Review Source SB Sara B. Senior Director Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "TimeSavr Review" September 20, 2019 3.0 Positive. Pros It truly is a time saver, there is a lot of functionality in one tool. We were able to get rid of many systems by adding timesavr. Cons It is often glitchy. Little things go wrong with it. While the customer service is great, and they are quickly fixed, they can be a frustration. Switched from [Child Care Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/80715/Child-Care-Pro/) Reviews from other child care programs, functionality, the amount of tools that it can complete. Review Source MD Marine D. Owner Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best software available for childcare management" September 30, 2019 5.0 Gives us exactly the reports and tracking we need. Pros Ease of use, quick response and service. Cons Certain customizations missing - would like to be able to better plan our daily class lists. Reason for choosing TimeSavr Best value, actually built for childcare centers Review Source SB Sabrina B. Child Care provider Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Much preferred to paper timesheets!" February 8, 2017 5.0 We have been using timesavr for a while now and I really prefer it to having to do paper forms. It's easy to get a clear idea what contacts and rates you have, putting days off in, keeping track of the kids times of arrival and departures, and changes are easy to make when necessary. The only hiccup I have come across is that if you have a day where everyone is absent or make a change that doesn't require you to fill in times (a child changes to being absent) the save button does not come up unless you enter some numbers and have to then delete them. Over all I love the program though! Pros Easy to use and get around, convenient, and is not a hassle for my clients. Cons The only problem I have come across is on absent days or changing to absent that the save button does not come up unless you enter some numbers and then delete them. Review Source MM Megan M. Day HOme Consultant Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timesavr is a real time saver!" September 25, 2019 5.0 CSR responds to any questions very promptly. He is great at communicating any upgrades or changes that would effect our business. Pros Timesavr is a much needed tool in childcare. The tracking of clients registering and leaving, payments made, outstanding balances, children attendance reports, etc. I love the versatility of Timesavr, and all that you can do with this software. Cons Nothing yet. Anytime I have any questions or issues, I contact CSR and he helps me. Review Source KB Klara B. Office Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "great program" September 20, 2019 5.0 Over all this program is great for what we need it for. it has made getting the work done so much easier as well as tracking expiring paperwork, as you can run a report. Pros The easy of using it and having everything on there and available to see. it has made my job easier and more enjoyable. Cons Sometimes there are glitches, as with every program, and when the hours entered are all over the place and have to go in and fix it all again. Review Source SM Shohreh M. Operational Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I, work with this software on daily basis, only problem is the changes and being slow ." June 5, 2018 4.0 To have access to children's file and accounts,attendance, authorized pick up contacts Pros It is convenient and the reports, receipts anything we need we can have access to the information. Great software Cons Changes are so often and it cause some difficulties for staff and parents. the software is most of the time very slow to load. Review Source Response from Kwiksol Corporation June 12, 2018 Thank you for your review Shohreh. Sorry to hear you're finding the system slow, but I can assure you that the system is very fast, which is why I'm wondering if maybe your local network or your computer are slow? Please email me with more specifics on where you're experiencing a slowdown and I'll try to help you eliminate that problem. DM Dustin M. Administrative Assistant Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product - Provides more than needed" February 8, 2017 4.0 Have been using timesavr in our centre for a few years now. It provides us with quality dat a entry, easy to use interface, and is quite flexible based on needs. Has a few glitches (as expected with any program), but the customer service and assistance level is far beyond what would be expected. Highly recommended to any childcare centre looking for a database program for their business. Pros Easy to use More features than the average centre would need - but all are extremely helpful and not just excess Amazing customer service Cons WiFi and Internet dependant - this caused a setback when attempting to implement it into room usage Review Source YP Yvonne P. Program & Family Support Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Timesavr saving time" September 30, 2019 4.0 Using less paper has been a great way to respect the environment, we appreciate the simplicity once we became familiar with the system. Pros The software helps keep things in order, and provides a system to eliminate so much paper waste. Cons Sometimes challenging when choosing to use a tablet and the WIFI is down. It would be great to have a family component to communicate with parents and guardians. Reason for choosing TimeSavr N/A Review Source Response from Kwiksol Corporation October 3, 2019 Hi Yvonne. Thanks for your review! I do have plans to add a family component to communicate through the mobile app. That will be in a future update, so stay tuned. WS Whitney S. Executive Director Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Professional Software for Child Care" February 8, 2017 5.0 Timesavr is a great tool! It has saved us so much time preparing reports. Invoices and receipts for families are easily printed and very professional looking. Quick questions from customer service are responded to quite quickly. Unfortunately concerns of greater detail can be met with resistance. As a paying customer I would recommend receiving follow up emails/calls to ensure the software has been fixed and is still running smoothly for customers. Perhaps meeting with clients to see if there are some functions we would like to see in the next update. Pros I like how easy it is to track staff hours, as well as how easy it is to print receipts and invoices for families. Cons I would like Volunteers to be featured in a different section on the dashboard instead of included with the employees. Review Source BM Brandi M. Administrative Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product" September 25, 2019 4.0 TimeSavr is definitely a time saver compared to other tracking methods used previously in our child care programs. Anytime I've had a special request or question, our rep has been very helpful and that goes along way. Pros This software is user friendly making it easy for self learning. Cons In my everyday use the things I like the least is not being able to email transaction records directly from the program as well as not being able to retrieve emailed messages that are sent out. Review Source TV Tami V. Executive Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Time Saved" September 20, 2019 4.0 It saves admin time so that I can spend more time with the staff and children and also have more time to do other admin tasks Pros It calculates all the hours for staff and children Saves paper Easy to use Cons If it had a daily report and parent/staff communication tool then all my needs for software would be met in one place. Reason for choosing TimeSavr It is based in Alberta and therefore calculates staff hours based on the Alberta Government regulations Review Source KB Kyle B. Before and After School Program Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review of Timesavr" September 25, 2019 4.0 We would benefit greatly from monthly schedules. Overall I have had a good experience and it does save time, just needs to have some more fine tuning I think. Pros I like that it is paperless and being able to sign in/out kids with one or two click's is very nice. Cons I don't like when it doesn't work at 6:30 AM and I need to sign kids in. I also don't like that you can't do monthly schedules. Review Source ML Maria L. Owner/operator Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review" September 25, 2019 3.0 Been good overall, a few times the server has gone down or people haven't been able to sign in Pros I like all the things I can do. I only use for sign in purposes. I like that you can list all the kids on one page for signing in and out Cons That there wasn't a app. All we do is sign in and there is so much other stuff. I haven't checked out the app. Be nice if there were different price structures for what you want and actually use it for Reason for choosing TimeSavr Because it's cheaper I believe and I know someone who uses it and recommended it Review Source MB Megan B. Early Childhood Edicator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool for Childcare Providers" February 8, 2017 4.0 TimeSavr took a bit of time to get used to when we first started using the program. There are some limitations that I found challenging, such as trying to get individual children's stats for each month, it feels like there are a lot of steps to the process and they are not outlined clearly. Overall it was a fantastic tool for tracking hours and information. Pros Ease of logging children in and out. Cons Pulling reports on individual children. Review Source JV Jenni V. Dayhome provider Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Making life easier" February 8, 2017 4.0 Having changed from paper time sheets to timesavr I really see an improvement, no more adding up hours. I love that I can see reports at the touch of a button as this helps with many things, but mostly at tax time when I need to find out hours for the year etc. Pros Accessing reports Cons Sometimes when inputting times manually (iPad) there are problems with scrolling down and inputting data Review Source KS Kathleen S. Day home provider Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "TimeSavr is great" February 8, 2017 5.0 I find using TimeSavr great compared to keeping a paper record. It's easy to go back and print out reports. I could see a year end report being added somehow for each individual child showing days in care, but other than that it's a great way to keep track of my children in care. Pros keeping daily records is a breeze Cons I need a monthly report showing days in care, full or part day, for each child, so I can figure meals to expense. It would be nice to have one page for all the children, not one for each child to print out. Review Source DD Debbie D. Director Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pitter Patter Review " September 22, 2019 5.0 Pros User friendly Simplifies invoicing and child records Love the online registration Saves time in adding up hours Keeps all child and staff records Cons Not sure how to set it up so that it automatically remembers subsidized children Reason for choosing TimeSavr Recommended by a friend Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Daycare](https://www.capterra.com/child-care-software/)
