Desperate Daycare - How Daycare Software Saved My Business
Hi. My name is Jeanie and I've owned "Angel Care Daycare" for over 3 years. I started at home with a handful of kids, and I discovered that I really enjoyed this line of work. After a few months, my reputation for being a caring and responsible caretaker got around town, and I found myself having too many interested parents. I was only allowed a few children in my house, so I decided to rent a place and hire a couple of employees. As my clientele grew, so did my stress.
I found it increasingly hard to take care of all the children's information and it seemed that I could never find it when I needed it. Scheduling was a nightmare... I was really stressed trying to keep track of it all. At the end of the day, I was a wreck. I no longer enjoyed my work, and I was frustrated most of the time. One day I totally forgot that I was supposed to pick a child up from school... and he waited outside for an hour and a half! After this incident, I knew it was time to get some help.
I knew there must be some kind of child care software that could help me managage my daycare more effectively. I came accross several potential solutions but most were either too basic or too expensive... plus many had complicated licensing requirements and were broken down into many modules (and I had to pay seperatly for each module).
I was almost ready to give up but then I stumbled across a company (Vertical Dimmensions Inc.) that sells an all-in-one child care software package called Lullaby Managment. To be frank I found the company's site quite ugly and hard to navigate... I was almost ready to leave, but then I found a link to download a free full 30 day trial of the software so I decided to give it a try. So I downloaded it and installed it (both of which were easy) and the rest was history.
The thing that impressed me the most about the Lullaby software has the extensive tutorials and help files that the software contained. It answered almost every single question I had and the others were easily answered with a quick email to the company's support department.
So what does Lullaby daycare managment software do? Well, it takes care of things like parent and child information, attendance, income and receivables, expenses and mileage, menus, food programs and tax worksheets. Basically, it's everything I needed and more and it's actually really easy to use. I'm not very computer savvy, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use it.
Now, I can find information quickly, I don't forget things anymore and everything is in one place (not on scattered papers around the room!). I love my work again, and I have more time to focus on the kids. Everyone is safe and happy, including me! Now I recommend that everyone who runs a daycare should go and download a free trial of Lullaby and see for themselves how easy it is to manage things.
