What do you like best about Kindertales?

It is very helpful as it has all the information from the child file to payment to daily reports in one platform. It is also very user friendly, the cx services team are very helpful and always ready to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kindertales?

The system is very slow at times and we have very difficult posting pictures for the families on daily reports. Also, the milestone report doesnt always save when completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kindertales solving and how is that benefiting you?

The communication is a lot more faster and transparent with the parents. They get spontaneous updates about their children throughout the day and can communicate with the staff directly if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kindertales?

Having online support is extremely helpful to ask questions, we love that feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kindertales?

- we wish there were ways we could pull more specific reports ( we really wish we could pull reports of what CHANGED in a month so we could cross reference for subsidy reporting, for example)

- in the area where you see "kids enrolled with no payment information" we wish we could see the start date so we knew when they were beginning so we can touch base accordingly. Also being able to email directly from this page would be helpful.

- there is a flaw with Kindertales where the start date is adjusted when a child changes programming (or maybe changes the # of days they attend) and it will skew our reporting for subsidy which results in a lot of manual labour

- there have been a few glitches which makes it really difficult to trust reports that are pulled.. we often double check reports manually to ensure they are correct

- the editing capabilities in the newsletter area are limited

- we wish there were notifications on the dashboard when messages come in

- we wish there were options for survey creation + the capability to pull reports from that data

- Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kindertales:

Make sure you know what kind of reporting you would like to be able to pull and that Kindertales can allow for that! It is something that we are constantly grumbling about because we wish it could just be a little bit easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kindertales solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall Kindertales is on the right track to being a phenomenal software but there are some glitches and updates that need to be improved for sure. It is really an all-in-one software that we are thrilled to be using but there are some areas for growth for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kindertales?

Easy to manage multiple sites in one online database, the ability to check attendance at real time, being able to see incident reports quickly, and to be able to communicate individually, in groups, or all parents at once. With the CRM inquiry feature, it is easy to keep a running list for the waitlist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kindertales?

inability to control features such as: CRM messaging, late fees, and some finance applications. Inability to separate the waitlist for different locations instead of just one. Inability to see enrollment in separate programs (AM vs PM), and see the list in last name alphabetical order instead of first name alphabetical order. Forms such as medical and health forms not being seen in the classroom app for state guidance protocols. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kindertales solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not needing to use paper on site, but still have the chance to print out forms, attendance, and lists if needed. Parents are able to register quickly online instead of in person. Parents are able to communicate to sites through the kindertales app, as well as check in/out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
