Sandbox Childcare Management

" Customer service and support has been outstanding !"

Vorteile: Ease-of-use, real time data for multiple centers and the unlimited customer support. We look forward to growing into this program.

Nachteile: We are on able to create specific user reports from user data instead of tags.

"If you are wondering if you should purchase this software.....The answer is YES!"

Kommentare: We have been extremely happy with our purchase and implantation of the Sandbox software. We have been able to drop the amount of past due tuition dramatically along with improving our system of keeping up with shot records and other requirements for the children and staff. My time spent calculating time cards has been dramatically reduced due to using the computerized time clock.

Vorteile: I love the ease of use of the system and that parents can view their info on the parent app. Since we have started using the software we have been able to drop the amount of past-due tuition from over 10K to under 2K weekly.

Nachteile: I do not like that when a couple is married that only one of them can see their account balance. I wish there was a joint option where they could both have a login that would allow them to see the balance. I have parents get confused when they login with their personal email when the account is setup under the other parent and see a zero balance. Maybe even something that showed when the parent listed as the non-payer logged in that showed this is a non-payer account. I would also like for parents to be able to pay in advance and it leave a credit on their account. Many of my parents want to pay monthly or bi-weekly and cannot pay over the amount due.

"Great Program worth the price"

Kommentare: When I first took over in the childcare office I was under the impression that Sandbox would not fulfill what we were looking for in a software program, but after doing more research on my own I discovered that Sandbox was able to do everything that other programs do. I've enjoyed working with the Sandbox program and their customer service.

Vorteile: This software has the same functions as many of the more expensive software. Without have any formal training on it I was able to figure it out pretty easily and being able to call, email or chat with customer support has been a huge help. Everything that we were looking for in a software program Sandbox has with being a fraction of the price of others. Sandbox is simple and clean looking and is working on updating to keep up to date resources available to parents and teachers.

Nachteile: Some of the features that it has such as with child daily logs is not as concise as I would prefer it to be as an administrator, but over all it is simple to use and easy for parents to navigate.

"Not as helpful as we had hoped ..."

Vorteile: Wide variety of printable reports to help administration

Nachteile: Rather cumbersome to use. Apps are not fully developed.

"Best Option for Child Care Centres"

Kommentare: We have used Sandbox since their early days. We've been happy from day one and it just continues to get better. We have been using HiMama as well for documentation, but Sandbox now offers these features as well. This is a complete management and documentation package perfect for centres no matter if its 15 spaces or 150.

Vorteile: Customer service and support, user interface, ability to keep it simple or utilize more advanced features, value for money, ability to export data.

Nachteile: Nothing - we have no issues with Sandbox after 4+ years of use.
