CAPABILITIES
Managing Classrooms with Ease
Managing a classroom at a center or school is like running a business within a business. You must track attendance and ratios, make sure the classroom is properly staffed, communicate with families … and the list goes on! For more than 30 years, Procare Solutions has helped early childhood educators simplify operations with robust classroom management capabilities so you can focus on what really matters – the little ones in your care.
Effectively Managing Classrooms and Programs
Procare enables centers and school to better manage classrooms, tracking attendance and any room movement. Adherence to staff-to-child ratios is critical and streamlined reporting provides details on ratio maintenance. Procare also makes it easy for teachers to track child activities, with name-to-face reporting.
Attendance Tracking
In today’s child care environment, tracking information like attendance, ratios, enrollments, meals, health checks and authorized pick-ups has never been more important. With Procare’s tracking capabilities, you can record and maintain up-to-the minute information on the children in your care with a click of a button. Improve accuracy with automatic calculations, ensure safety with contactless check-in/check-out solutions and track health checks to safeguard the well-being of children and staff – all within Procare. Our contactless check-in/check-out, advanced tracking and reporting make pick-ups and drop-offs easy and safe.
Communicate and Engage With Families
Share daily activities, videos, photos and milestones with families to keep them up to date on their child’s day throughout the day instead of waiting until pick-up. The Procare child care mobile app is easy to use and simple to install. It provides all this information to the family in real time. Procare also provides the ability to send newsletters and to keep families aware of calendars and upcoming events. Procare can send emails and text messages to families, keeping everyone abreast of activities associated with their child.
Infant Activity Dashboard
Taking care of infants requires more personalized care and attention. Staff and teachers assigned to rooms with infants can use the Infant Activity Dashboard in the Procare child care mobile app to quickly and easily log regular activities, including: bottles, naps and diaper changes so they don’t have to turn their attention away from the children any longer than necessary. Each activity also allows teachers to record important information that needs to be included with your reports such as nap position, bottle size and types of diaper changes. Reminders can also be set to alert teachers when it’s time to perform or check for the activity again.
Simplify Scheduling and Track Staff Information
Manage staff schedules and keep important staff records at your fingertips including timecard hours, immunizations, employee profiles and more. Maintain careful monitoring of real-time staff-to-child ratios and attendance trends. Leverage extensive reporting features that help you see daily, weekly and monthly data in an easy-to-read format.
Manage Student Schedules
Assign and manage a custom schedule for each child. Add overrides, absences and any other schedule-based reports. Analyze classroom schedules for open slots or future classroom staffing requirements by comparing child schedules to staff schedules, room by room.
Calendar-based Event Sharing
Share upcoming events with families easily for any day and month through the calendar. This helps busy parents stay organized and the calendar can be accessed through the Procare child care mobile app.
Accurately Recording Staff-to-Child Ratios
Closely monitoring and managing staff-to-child ratios is important not only for the development of children but also governed by state requirements. Stay in compliance and provide the best care with Procare’s staff-to-child-ratio monitoring system. Procare enables tracking of children and staff throughout the day, including room transfers and lunch breaks.
Forecasting Growth with Insights
Insights allows centers to see enrollment capacity in a given room and/or program, as well as identify areas that have open availability. This capability also highlights which offerings need additional staff to retain ratio requirements. Centers will be able to see which programs are in high demand and what availability they have for interested families.
Staff-to-Staff Messaging via Mobile App
Staff can send and receive messages through the Procare child care mobile app. Administrators can search for staff members by name and filter a staff directory by room or status for messages. Choose whether staff have read-only access, which allows them to receive messages but not respond or compose new messages, or full access in which they can receive and send messages.
Text Alerts
The option to send text alerts allows you to communicate with staff members without a Procare account. These messages send as a text message to a staff member’s mobile device.
