Why Invite Parents to Procare?

Are you required to invite parents? What are the benefits?

When setting up your school, you may wonder how much is gained by inviting parents to download the Procare app and set up their account. Below are several reasons why you should invite parents!

Build Closer Relationships between Staff and Parents

• By making it easier for parents to receive updates and respond to staff messages, they are more likely to feel confident that their child is receiving the best care at your center.

• The photos and videos you send will often be the highlight of a parent's day.

Procare Works Hard to Reduce Complaints & Confusion

• For parents who don't want to receive multiple messages, there's an option to pick and choose which notifications they want to see.
• The app is easy to understand, and for any questions our customer success team is here to help. When parents have a question you can't answer, check out our Parent Help Articles or ask us, we are happy to help!
• The most effective way to reduce confusion is to inform parents that you have decided to implement Procare at your school, and for what purpose.
