## Reviews

### "Perfect for Childcare" — 5.0/5

> **shelby** | *21 September 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Startup was so simple and fast\! This product easy to use and straightforward forward, not full of features that I don't need. I love how customizable it is I can select what features I want/need and can disable what I don't need. It is well rounded and it's perfect from an administrative aspect as well as a great classroom tool. My staff and families LOVE this app. To top off how great the program is itself is the customer service is amazing. Our reps is an amazing resource. If I have any questions or concerns she/he is very responsive, informative and helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing I would change is the lesson planning section. I think its great for a program that may not have a system. But we have an established( specific ) way we create lesson plans and have a hard time transitioning it to the app.
> 
> I took over a childcare center had had no administrative system in place and poor means of communication with families. This system changed all of that and I feel like we haven't even used it to its full potential

### "Easy to use and meets our needs" — 5.0/5

> **Beth** | *15 May 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The cost\! We were beta testers, so we are locked in at $75 per month for life. Can't beat that\!
> 
> **Cons**: We still struggle with finding the best way to do a Mass Enrollment at a particular time for over 100 people at a given time without running into some issues.
> 
> Even when we've had issues, the tech support team is highly responsive and the platform has grown with us as our needs have changed.

-----

### "6 Month Review" — 3.0/5

> **Heidi** | *5 April 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The support is fantastic. I have a dedicated person that knows our particular needs.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel like the product is still in development, but they are working with me to achieve the customizations I need for our particular school.
> 
> I get frustrated, but then things work out. I am hoping that in our second year things will work more smoothly.

### "Finally found something that works for us\!" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *15 May 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Child Pilot is awesome. After many years of Procare, we found that Child Pilot had more to offer and was much more simple to use especially for our smaller after school/summer camp. We have one person assigned to our account which has been awesome when we have specific questions, I am no longer waiting on the phone for 1 hour or longer to ask a simple question. They have a lot of training capabilities and are very friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: I would love to be able to customize the child information form on my own without having to contact Child Pilot for every little change, as well as the inquiry form, but it's not something that drastically effects the overall running of our program.
> 
> Awesome experience\! Would highly recommend\!

### "Well Worth the Time and Money" — 5.0/5

> **Danielle** | *14 May 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how helpful the ChildPilot team has been for us. We are a brand new childcare center and they have been so supportive guiding us through the way (even through TURMOIL) :) Thank you, Ms. Gutierrez\!\!
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there was a way for parents to schedule a tour on the ChildPilot app. I am currently having to outsource to another app to allow parents to schedule a tour and then redirect them to the ChildPilot inquiry form.
> 
> This has been one of the best decisions I have made in the process of opening my child own child care center. I can't imagine how people do it without this amazing product and support team.
