With straightforward, scalable pricing, we handle the business administration so you can focus on what matters most: better outcomes for the children in your care. No set-up fees and no per-child charges. Just one simple subscription with the capabilities you need to run your program.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • I use Gradelink every day as a Teacher. Our school uses it for attendance daily. I also use it to announce upcoming assignments and to record all of my students grades. It also keeps track of incomplete assignments. I really like using Gradelink for communicating with parents and students. A nice detail is is that these messages also go to our administration.
  • Very easy to learn and use. It has all the needed parts to have a school run efficiently and accurately. Its cost is good for the size any type of school we have in Indiana.
  • Gradelink allows the teachers and the office to enter information that can be used for reports, audits, budgets, and much more. The Smart Send feature allows us to communicate with our students and parents via email, text, and voice messaging. Report cards and transcripts are professional and easy to read. Gradelink continues to look for ways to improve their software to keep up with the needs of the teachers, students, and office staff.
  • My school has been using Gradelink for quite a few years now, and it keeps improving. It is so nice to not have to sit and calculate grades manually at the end of each grading period. If anyone is missing assignments and I have used the "IC" for that assignment, it's easy to print out whatever assignments are missing. I also like the way the parents and students can also keep track of how they are doing and how parents can set up automatic emails for certain grades--both good and not so good ones. If I need to contact a parent, I can easily do it through Gradelink. Gradelink keeps improving and adding other helpful tools for teachers and office workers.
  • Gradelink has allowed me to streamline and stay on top of my assignment grading. I love their product!
  • The platform is very easy to use for parents and for school users. The reports we can create from it are very useful.
  • I appreciate the ease of use, the cost factor, and the ability to communicate with parents regarding attendance, emergency situations, grades, and general information.
  • The program is very easy to use. It provides great video tutorials. I would highly recommend the product.
  • Gradelink makes running a school the easiest part of my job daily! From student & family information gathering & management, to attendance and grade tracking, to form submission and general communication, Gradelink gives you the tools to be confident and very successful. Need to find a phone number? Done. Need to print a transcript or update a permanent record? Done. Re-enrollment using completely online methods and doing away with the mounds of paperwork? Done. I have used other school management software, and Gradelink surpasses them all!
  • I love how I can easily put in grades and email either whole classes or individual students. I love how Gradelink lets me send the same email to students one at a time so as to avoid repeatedly typing.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The app is user friendly in most aspects. It allows both the parent and the teacher to communicate on the go, and parents can get updates on their child all day via their phone. The customer support is always amazing. They work on an issue until they get it resolved.
  • I like how everything is linked together. From the administration to the classroom and even billing Procare is a one stop shop.
  • I like that it is easy to select activities for children to share with parents and guardians. Parents are easily able to send messages to the classroom as well to let teachers know if they will be late or if their child will not be in attendance that day. As a parent, I enjoy getting the email summary at the end of each day.
  • I love as a parent that I can message just the admin team or the teachers directly. It is a nice way for privacy purposes.
  • At CCDP, we appreciate how Procare streamlines the complex demands of multi-site child care management. The platform makes it easy to track attendance, manage tuition, and communicate with families—all in one place. What we like most is how Procare helps us stay compliant while saving time. The reporting tools are clear and customizable, which is essential for audits and subsidy documentation. Staff find the interface intuitive, and families love the mobile access. It’s a system that supports both operational excellence and meaningful connection.
  • I really like the ability to send parents pictures or their children and updates for their activities. I love that one software package can provide everything that is needed to run a daycare center's daily activities.
  • I had the pleasure of working with Renae J, and she went above and beyond to help me with my issues. She was patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about making sure everything was resolved quickly and correctly. It’s rare to find such dedicated customer service these days, and I really appreciate the time and effort she took to make things right. Thank you, Renae, and thank you Procare Solutions for having such amazing support staff! — Jessica Morales, Center Director, Around The Clock Learning Center
  • This software product has made my job so much easier and has streamlined my processes! It has greatly reduced the amount of paper we use also.
  • Procare Solutions provides our school with the best range of features that we have been able to find (and at the best price point). It covers many of our software and office needs and provides teachers and families with communication, connection, and ease of access.
  • I love that everything I need is all in one place. All student information, everything my families and I need, all payments are done through Procare app, and communication between my center and families can be used as well.
