What do you like best about Tadpoles?

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.

What do you dislike about Tadpoles?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Tadpoles:

Learn what software is capable of when used to its potential before implementing it. Give account access to teachers through individual logins. Review activity and proofread entries before approving information to be sent. Utilize it as a way to increase accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Electronic record keeping of children's portfolios make it easier for teachers to save and review development. Thorough and reviewable communication between teachers and families. Attendance records and ability to track head counts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tadpoles?

I love all the features. My favorite is the picture sharing feature that allows you to send pictures while attaching it to a description of your lesson plan with goals. It's a great way to document learning achievements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tadpoles?

The only downside is that there are at least 2 or three clicks for every piece of information that you need to input, so it can be time consuming when dealing with large groups of children and submitting individual feedback for each child. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Tadpoles to communicate break schedules, notes about children (such as if they will be absent or if they have allergies), curriculum goals, as well as personal information about the children that are sent to the parents daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tadpoles?

Everything! Tadpoles is amazing. Parents get an email every day with their daily activities and pictures of their child, so they can not only feel like they were part of their day, but can also ask them questions to foster parent/child communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using this program requires the teacher to have an iPad (or iPod) in their hand that is carried throughout the school. This has led to accidents where teachers have dropped their iPad resulting in expensive repairs or replacement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
