Top Rated Tadpoles Alternatives
I really like how much information the app allows me to provide to the parents I interact with. I can log meals (including the amount they ate), diapers & bathroom use, naps, and I can also send the parents notes. It's quick to use (on newer ipads) and easy to learn. I also really like that I can see a timer for when a student needs a diaper. The timer can be changed as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that there isn't a counter for how many kids are asleep. This would be extremely useful for sending teachers to lunch as the ratio changes for sleeping children. I also don't like that there's not an app for android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tadpoles is a great way to communicate between staff and parents and also between management and staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice if parents could pay through this app as well, and this is not an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tadpoles really makes it easy to communicate with parents of their child's school day quickly and efficiently! I can jump on and log information or follow up with school start time concerns or just let them know what they are learning! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
App tends to eat entries at times. It can be unpredictable when it happens but it can negate the flow of ease when you have to stop and relog again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tadpoles was an easy software to use . Allowed us to keep track of children’s growth , attach photos and communicate with families Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Was different across devices , often hard to navigate the PC version compared to the app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s great that I can connect with families with just a few clicks. I could send pictures instantly to show parents beautiful moments that I as a teacher have captured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes we would need to update the software, but that is to be expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was pretty easy to use, with little instruction needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is not the most impressive. It is very simple, and it can also be a little confusing to edit and enter times for naps or diaper changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy the opportunity to send pictures and curriculum updates to parents so they can be more involved in what their children are doing. I also like the dashboard that shows when kids will be needing their next diaper change, bottle, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If music is playing in another app, opening tadpoles will often interfere with the music. I also sometimes feel that having to take attention away from children to enter info into tadpoles is a bit of a hassle and could even be a safety hazard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use and easy to learn. The support staff are very supportive with any question you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Doesn't have the ability to do advanced scheduling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love tadpoles because it makes daily reports so much easier for teachers. It also is quicker since you do not have to write everything in by hand. Its also amazing because you can send parents immediate pictures straight to their email so that they know that their child is safe and happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately just like any software tadpoles can occasionally freeze up or need to be updated. It also can be kind of annoying when you have to edit certain information for kids who may have special lunch request or allergies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Convenience of using one app Or website for many tasks. Combining a communication tool with an electronic database for attendance records, documentation and lesson planning in one app makes it less difficult to juggle these tasks which improves the quality of work. Families love the ability to see updates and photos throughout the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Parent to teacher communication is limited to notes on daily sheet. No way for families to share photos to teachers. Process of sharing photos and videos could be improved by making it possible to select multiple photos/videos of one child at a time to be uploaded all together. Changes of information in student profiles, such as new homeroom after transition to the next age group, revert back to what they were previously 24hours later. I believe this is because the student profiles are synced to our CMS system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
