I like that we can use the chat feature to send parents messages, and the Feed option to do mass notices to parents, staff or both. It makes my work simpler. Our parents love it, and most pay directly through Playground. The help staff are phenomenal and I get a response in minutes. They also have a lot of good documentation for the most common issues. The reports are for the most part sufficient for my needs and the ability to enter the food menu and have it let me know if it is reimburseable for CACFP is great!

Its very simple to navigate through ease of implementation

I really love that families check their children in and out with the Playground App. All billing is funneled through Playground and it makes tax time so much smoother. I can track my expenses, pull reports with extensive search filters, allow families to enroll into my wait list online, which includes an enrollment fee they pay online. I can also utilize observations to integrate milestones reached or ones we are continuing to work on for each child. Any pictures posted are only viewable by the families I choose to have as recipients (you do not need to include all children in every post if you have, say, a drop-in child, you can select their name for the day they are there and have those pictures posted, but then the drop-in child does not see the day-to-day photos). The customer service is top notch and they ALWAYS reach out to make sure I was able to figure out what I was needing help with. The FAQ tool and search bar are impecable. Playground listens to the ones utilizing their system to better the programming to make our lives easier. It is super convenient to have all immunizations listed so I know which ones the child is coming due for, all paperwork is online in the event something with my paper copies doesn't work (which are printed once families fill out online).
