From simplifying the enrollment processes to automating billing based on the child's schedule and providing exceptional customer service, this software has truly exceeded our expectations. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features, CareDay Solutions is a game-changer for any childcare provider looking to streamline their operations and enhance both employee and parent satisfaction\! > > **Cons**: None\! The CareDay team is so quick to resolve any issues that occur in a timely manner. ----- ### "You NEED CareDay - They understand childcare enrollment management" — 5.0/5 > **Anna** | *12 May 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: CareDay gives us real visibility into our enrollment and capacity—months ahead. The predictive tools are a game changer. We can see exactly where we’ll have openings and adjust proactively, which has helped us grow full-time enrollment significantly. The billing setup is also a huge time-saver—it’s tied directly to each child’s schedule, so invoicing is accurate and automatic. Communication tools are built in, so everything’s in one place and nothing falls through the cracks. It's incredibly well thought out for the way centers actually operate. > > **Cons**: The platform is so flexible that it took us a little time to configure everything to match our specific workflows. That said, the CareDay team was amazing—responsive, supportive, and hands-on during onboarding. Once set up, it’s been incredibly smooth. > > Our experience with CareDay has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s rare to find software that actually understands the realities of running a childcare program—CareDay clearly does. It’s saved us hours every week in admin work, given us insights we never had before, and helped us communicate better with families. We feel more in control, more proactive, and more confident in our planning. ----- ### "Best Enrollment App Ever" — 5.0/5 > **Amanda** | *9 February 2026* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: CareDay is super simple to use. The customer support is top-notch. I have never had an issue with the software not working or not updating correctly. Seeing at a glance what availability I have in my classrooms has been a game changer. The family and child management system is why I found CareDay in the first place. I was so tired of making spreadsheets that took 4-6 hours then realizing I forgot children in that spreadsheet. The seamlessness of CareDay is outstanding\! I feel like the cost is fair. > > **Cons**: I wish they were able to have the fingerprint system that Procare has. If they did I would use it for all our needs. This isn't really a con though. If my families were not already used to the fingerprint system I would completely switch fully to the CareDay platform. > > CareDay has been a wonderful blessing. I strictly use it for the enrollment tracking only and it is exactly what I was looking for. I can not tell you how many hours, tears, feelings of stress this platform has removed from my shoulders. If you are tired of spending HOURS or even DAYS on enrollment spreadsheets for the upcoming year this is your sign to schedule a call with them. This portion of the system alone has been my saving grace. ----- ### "Administrator CareDay User" — 4.0/5 > **Brooke** | *15 January 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about CareDay is the layout for monitoring your attendance for each classroom. I like being able to have tours all digitally to keep track, and then convert families that have decided to join us. It is very easy to use. > > **Cons**: My dislikes of CareDay are not being notified when a family has scheduled a tour, I would like to receive some type of notification that one has been scheduled to get it added to my calendar. I also would like to be notified when a parent has messaged through the chat. ----- ### "Amazing APP\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *31 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love this app, it has made our day to day operations so much easier. We love the support that we get and we love being able to give our feedback for improvements. > > **Cons**: One thing that we would like to see improvements on is the actual app itself, versus the desktop. > > Overall our experience with CareDay has been great. Being able to learn about all the features and give feedback specific to what our center needs has been amazing. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1049432/careday?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1049432/careday) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
