While there are minor areas to refine, it delivers strong performance where it matters most: safety, organization, and ease of daily use. Pros PikMyKid stands out for its ease of use, offering a clean, intuitive interface that both staff and families can quickly adopt. The dismissal process is highly efficient, helping our school organize pickup smoothly while reducing congestion and confusion. Its student management system is also a strong asset, enabling accurate tracking and clear, real-time communication between school staff and guardians. Cons There are a few areas for improvements, including occasional app lag and delayed notifications, particularly during peak dismissal times. Additionally, more customization options for different school needs would enhance flexibility and user experience.

Pros We have been using Pikmykid for student dismissal for a few years and love how easy it is to use and how quickly we can contact Pikmykid for great support in the moment. We have recently expanded our purchases with them to include visitor management and attendance and could not be happier with the product for student management! Pikmykid provides a great value for our budget! Cons We would love it if they integrated with our SIS, schooltool with more ease, especially with attendance.

We have enjoyed our experience. I love that if I have any issues, their support team has fast response times and help in a timely matter. Pros I love how seamlessly we were able to incorporate it into our dismissal. Parents love the real time bus departures, and it makes for a much smoother and calmer dismissal. Cons We don't utilize everything that PikMyKid has to offer such as, syncing absent students, we do that manually. The process to have our systems link and set up always seem complicated when I do reach out.

Our school and parents are happy with the way the program operates for the safety of our school children and staff. Pros It allows our families to safely identify they are at school and who they are picking up. Our staff is able to identify each car for each child. Cons Sometimes, there are glitches to the program but they are few and far between. Alternatives considered [Raptor](https://www.capterra.com/p/206344/Raptor/) Reasons for choosing Pikmykid The ease of the program as well as the cost.

RS Rebecca S. Office Manager Child Day Care Services ### "Pick Up Time Is Not A Hassle with Pikmykid" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 26, 2025 Our childcare center is very satisfied with Pikmykid, and it has made a significant difference in managing large numbers of children. Pros It gives us a reliable platform that we can completely control to help manage the dismissal of the 534 birth through 5-year-old children we serve. It is also a reliable platform for parents to delegate alternative pick-up guardians for their children. Cons Our parents have had intermittent issues with their apps randomly not allowing them to log in. I can usually guide them through a workaround for this issue, but it is a multi-step process and inconvenient during pick-up.

We went from using Pikmykid to enhance our student drop-off and pick-up at one elementary school to buying it for our entire district. Our high school principal is a big fan of the hallway pass feature. I am particularly pleased with the emergency notification and reunification functions. Pros I appreciate the versatility, intuitiveness, and functionality of PikmyKid. Their customer service is also second to none. We could not be more pleased. Cons I really have not complaints. I have recommended PikmyKid to several colleagues. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Director of IT Higher Education ### "Pikmykid Makes Dismissal Easy" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 17, 2024 Pikmykid is a fantastic tool to afternoon dismissal. When we first rolled it out, we had questions during the first few days of school, but Pikmykid responded to our questions very quickly. As a Tech Director at the school, I'd say that they have the best technical support of any company I have ever dealt with. They respond quickly with the correct answers, so my impression is that their tech support people are sharp and well-trained. I'm so happy that we chose Pikmykid. Pros The program is very intuitive, which makes in easy to learn and use. Cons I'm not sure I dislike anything about this program.

Principal Primary/Secondary Education ### "Principal, Manor Intermediate School" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 15, 2024 I have been very happy with this product. PikMyKid has increased our safety and efficiency during dismissal. Pros PikMyKid has not only decreased the overall amount of time our dismissal team spends on getting our students safely to cars, it has increased our accuracy in dismissal plan communication. Our dismissal time prior to PikMyKid was about 23 minutes, this includes classroom communication, organization of a dismissal room and walking students out to cars or signing parents into the building. Our current, daily time averages 12 mins. in total. Cons This program does have a fairly step learning curve for both parents and the dismissal team. It requires a significant investment in WiFi by the district as well. Alternatives considered [SchoolPass](https://www.capterra.com/p/181526/SchoolPass/) Reasons for choosing Pikmykid I liked the customer service better. The rep. was timely in returning my emails and scheduled a zoom demo right away.
