I like that parents can comment on pictures and notes that I send so I know they are reading and seeing them about their child. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Smartcare? Uhh, the webpage needs some serious work. It’s slow, doesn’t refresh correctly and takes me back to last weeks posts. I dislike that I’m not able to see what my other coteacher posts do I either have to go into that certain child’s post or ask my coteacher. As a parent of two, I hate that they send everything as a mass text. It’s hard to see what each of my children have done because it comes as a mass text and their names are so tiny in the corner of the message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Smartcare solving and how is that benefiting you? Nothing as of yet. They say they are doing updates but none that I personally have seen that have changed.

Owner Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/27/2015 "Everything I need in one place!" 5/5 What do you like best about Smartcare? The best thing about SmareCare is having all of your important information at your fingertips no matter where you are. No more looking at 3 different programs and endless pieces of paper just to figure out how your business is preforming. I love knowing that I can stay connected even when off sick or on vacation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Smartcare? Honestly, I can not think of a dislike. SmartCare responds well to feedback and they have built the program for the people that use it. I am very satisfied with the team they have and their attention to detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Smartcare: SmartCare really does have everything you need to run a child care center of any size. The program is easy to use and puts everything right at your fingertips. Above everything else, the team at SmartCare is dedicated to getting it right. I have been extremely impressed with the amount of communication they have had with me. This is a company that is working for the people who are using their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Smartcare solving and how is that benefiting you? SmartCare makes many of the stressful business issues like staffing, ratios, payments and parent communication so much more manageable.

TS Tiana S. Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/26/2015 "Outstanding" 5/5 What do you like best about Smartcare? I love everything about SmartCare. Everything that it has to offer is amazing. It really cuts down time with collecting tuition from families, keeping track of ratios, keeping track of meals, behavior, and send parents pictures and feedback of their child's day. Parents are able to view when their child has been picked up and track where their child is throughout the day and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Smartcare? I haven't found anything yet that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Smartcare: This is a software that you should highly consider and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Smartcare solving and how is that benefiting you? SmartCare simplifies running the center. The way the app is set up is very convenient. It notifies you when there is a class out of ratio, or if you are over staffed and it helps with overtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
