When Procare may be the right fit.
Procare has deep center-management features built over many years. If you rely on CACFP claiming or on payroll run inside your childcare software, Bloomz doesn't do those; it exports approved staff hours to your payroll provider instead (rolling out). If you want families on one free app in their own language, with check-in, billing and records on the same record, Bloomz is built for that. For what Bloomz has live, rolling out and next, see the roadmap.
Switching to Bloomz.
Easier than you think.
Set up rooms and staff, import children, guardians, tuition plans and past invoices from your Procare export with a preview (rolling out; until then our team helps), then invite families at a quiet point such as the start of a month.
Four commitments, every city.
