When Procare may be the right fit.
Procare has deep center-management features built over many years. If you rely on filing CACFP claims or on payroll run inside your childcare software, Bloomz doesn't do those (it exports meal counts for your sponsor); it syncs approved staff hours to your payroll provider instead. 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 everything Bloomz has live and what is planned, see the roadmap.
Switching to Bloomz.
Easier than you think.
A 1:1 onboarding specialist for your center. We import your data within 24 hours of receiving your export. Children, guardians, tuition plans, past invoices and opening balances come across from your Procare export with a preview before anything saves, and one request asks families to set up autopay again. Help in the app, by email or from the help center. Bloomz's AI support agent works every request around the clock, and a person picks up anything it can't solve. Most centers go live with families at the start of a month.
Four commitments, every city.
