## Reviews

### "A Fantastic Tool for Early Learning Programs" — 5.0/5

> **Jean Roselle** | *September 16, 2026* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My favorite thing about this app is how easy it makes staying on top of government and program requirements. Everything is structured and organized in one place, saving our team so much time. Combined with how user-friendly it is for parents and the fantastic customer service, it’s been a game-changer for our daily operations\!
> 
> **Cons**: We love using the app overall for our daily organization, parent communication, and customer support\! However, our main takeaway for improvement is the sign-in/out option. Currently, there is no option to sign children directly under our center’s specific name—the only available choice is "Other."&#10;Having our actual center name listed as a standard option would make record-keeping much cleaner and more accurate for our daily logs. We’d love to see this added in a future update\!
> 
> Using this app has streamlined our daily operations and improved family engagement across the board.&#10;Ease of Use: Both educators and parents picked it up right away without a steep learning curve.&#10;Organization: Having schedules, updates, and communications centralized saves our team valuable time.&#10;Top-Tier Support: The customer service is outstanding. The support team is responsive, attentive, and consistently goes above and beyond to assist us.

### "No brainer for Alberta-based Daycares" — 5.0/5

> **Justin** | *April 10, 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a complete, end to end platform - I don't have to piece together a number of different solutions.
> 
> **Cons**: We experienced some stability issues when first using it.  However, those seem to have been resolved.
> 
> I am a director of a daycare company based in Alberta, Canada that switched to Child Friendly about a year ago.  Previously we were using the leading platform in the industry.  We have found Child Friendly to be a game-changer in making our reporting paperless, our payments error-free and subsidy collection seamless.  They have built it with specific customization for Alberta which really sets it apart from the rest.  No brainer if you are AB based.

### "AMAZING APP" — 5.0/5

> **Ashley** | *September 17, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What we like most about ChildFriendly is having so many aspects of our childcare operations in one centralized system. Being able to manage parent communication, attendance, billing, child information, documentation, and daily updates in one place makes it much easier to stay organized.&#10;&#10;The communication features are especially valuable to us. Having a dedicated platform for educators and families helps us maintain professional boundaries while ensuring parents can easily receive important updates, reminders, photos, and information about their children.&#10;&#10;We also appreciate that ChildFriendly is designed specifically with childcare programs in mind. Overall, it has helped streamline many of our administrative processes and has become an important part of how we communicate with families and operate our programs each day.
> 
> **Cons**: One of our biggest challenges with ChildFriendly has been that some features can feel less intuitive than they could be, particularly from an administrative perspective. Certain tasks require more steps than expected, and there are areas where greater customization, easier navigation, and more streamlined processes would significantly improve the experience.&#10;&#10;We have also experienced occasional technical issues or limitations that can be frustrating when managing a busy childcare program. Because we rely heavily on ChildFriendly for our day-to-day operations and communication with families, even small inefficiencies can have a noticeable impact.&#10;&#10;Overall, we appreciate what the platform offers, but we would love to see continued improvements focused on usability, customization, reliability, and making administrative tasks faster and more efficient.
> 
> Overall, our experience with ChildFriendly has been very positive. The platform has made it easier for us to keep communication, attendance, billing, documentation, and important updates organized in one place. We especially appreciate having a centralized system where families and educators can communicate directly, rather than relying on multiple different methods of communication.&#10;&#10;Like any system, there have been occasional challenges and a learning curve as we’ve incorporated more of its features into our daily operations. However, we have found ChildFriendly to be a valuable tool for managing our childcare programs and maintaining clear, consistent communication with families. It has become an important part of our day-to-day operations.

### "USER APPROVED\! From a Level 3 ECE Who Has Seen Some Things" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *September 16, 2026* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, saves me (SO MUCH) time, less paperwork, easy parent communication, and I don’t need an IT degree to use it.
> 
> **Cons**: Still waiting on a few features... one that puts 14 toddlers down for nap at the same time. Changes diapers and convinces toddlers to put their mittens on.
> 
> I’ve worked in childcare long enough to know that if something adds extra steps to my day, I’m probably not going to love it. 😂 Thankfully, ChildFriendly actually makes things easier.&#10;I can quickly do attendance, add photos and updates, keep track of what’s happening with the kids, and communicate with parents without feeling like I’m doing paperwork all day.&#10;Anything that gives me more time with the kids and less time staring at a screen gets a thumbs up from me. 🙌

### "Strongly Recommend" — 5.0/5

> **Carolyn** | *September 21, 2026* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our experience with Child Friendly Pro has been excellent. The platform meets nearly all the needs of our child care program, and the Child Friendly Pro team has been incredibly accommodating and responsive.&#10;&#10;We operate a unique program with needs that do not always fit within a traditional child care model. The team took the time to understand those needs and developed customized features and solutions to better support our operations. They have shown a genuine interest in our feedback and are always just a message away whenever we need assistance.
> 
> **Cons**: As the platform continues to grow, we would love to see further improvements to educator scheduling, more flexible mixed-ratio options, and additional program configurations for alternative and non-traditional child care programs.
> 
> Overall, we have been very pleased with both the platform and the support we have received. I confidently recommend Child Friendly Pro to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and adaptable platform for their child care program.
