### "We ​LOVE Kangarootime!"

December 8, 2017

5.0

Saves time and paper with daily reports. Electronics payment options for parents.

Pros

We like that there is no more paper shine reports. Parents can see all about their child's day in email and on the app. Also, being able to see where the children are and tracking ratios make it easy to make staffing decisions. We love the customer service provided. They are quick to answer questions and constantly developing improvements. They listen to our suggestions to try to meet the needs of our unique center.

Cons

Billing, Plans, Invoices all require lots of steps that ​we hope will be more streamlined​ soon​.

### "Very easy to use!"

September 25, 2020

5.0

Overall, it is very user friendly. Doesn't take much time or thought to figure out how to use it. I think it's suitable for anyone.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use to check in children and to check out. I also enjoy the easy messaging features, payment features and photo upload features. It has everything I need in a very simple way to use.

Cons

The photo feature is great, but there is sometimes a delay in uploading photos. For example, I won't see photos from days ago until a few days later. They seem to pop up sporadically. I haven't consistently experienced this, only once or twice.

### "My overall experience with KT has been great! I enjoy working with the program."

December 8, 2017

5.0

Kangarootime is a great tool to use for childcare facilities! It helps our center stay organized and simple.

Pros

I like the feature where all the child information is easy to access quickly. Also, the employee features where staff can clock in without having to sign in every time. Its much more convenient for teachers who are in a hurry to get to class. The Development and Support teams always get things done quickly and are very helpful.

Cons

KT phone App does not always work and tends to be frustrating to parents.

### "Hands down, the best customer service team. Any issues are quickly and effectively handled."

September 12, 2017

5.0

Pros

The tuition payment tracking capability as well as the ability to stay connected to our parents throughout the day are the two greatest features of this program. The extra security that the check in and check out feature provide are invaluable. I am very happy with the decision to stay with Kangarootime - we did research other child care management software when taking over this facility and felt that this one best suited our needs. The customer support has been outstanding.

Cons

Hearing from parents that they are unhappy about the credit card surcharge is what we like least about this program.

### "Kangarootime has been wonderful to work with. They really care about their customers."

August 25, 2017

4.0

Empowering my teachers to be responsible for teacher/child ratios, communicating with parents, and documenting cool things that happen each day.

Pros

Kangarootime has been wonderful to work with. They really care about their customers and strive to improve the software to meet the needs of my center. Many issues have been fixed or improved within 7 days which is really fast in the software world.

Cons

Waiting for more great features! I know they work very hard and things are improving very quickly but its hard to wait when your business doesn't wait for you.

### "Super user friendly software and amazing customer support"

August 26, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like that I can check in on my school at any time from anywhere. Parents love the daily reports and personal photo galleries. Teachers love how quickly and efficiently they can enter info throughout the day.

Cons

Every once in a while when the company makes updates the software temporarily messes up the next morning and can be unusable for an hour or so until they fix it. I will say the customer service is amazing and any hiccups are fixed extremely quickly

December 11, 2017

5.0

Pros

I love how easy my job is now that I'm using Kangarootime! Everything I have to do as an Administrator is fast and easy and accurate - from billing to reporting and the in-classroom portion is amazing. I love that I can log on from anywhere and see exactly what my ratios are in the entire center, even when I'm home sick. This software changed my life and my staff and parents LOVE it. I have an edge on my competition now that I'm using this.

Pros

What I like most about Kangarootime is the amount of information we are able to share with the parents on a daily basis.

There has not been anything that we like least since we have been using Kangarootime. Any questions we have come across, the kangarootime team has been amazing in answering them and guiding us.

### "Child Care Software"

December 27, 2019

3.0

I do not handle the billing side of the program however have heard that we do like the ease of that. Like having all the family information in one place.

Pros

Nice design of classroom check in's. I would still do some tweaking on this however.

Cons

Runs VERY slow on our wifi. When typing messages to parents, it lags terribly. We use this program on iPads and does not work well. iPads are new.

### "It was hard to work at the beginning with check ins but over time we got it down pack."

September 18, 2017

3.0

we did away with the paper and the signing in daily.

Pros

That we are able to contact all of our parents at once with the email application. Also that we are aware of when and what children are arriving.

Cons

That you need to log out every time you need to go to a different part of the program. And that only one person can be logged in at once.

Went paperless

Pros

This software has everything I need all in one site. The daily reports and the tracking of children is by far the best I have seen out there! I researched many companies and kangarootime was the most user friendly and best deal out there!
