User reviews

Great for providers and families

I use PlayDay as a daycare assistant and as a family member (my little brother attends part-time), so I see both the provider and parent views. As a provider, I find it easy and organized. As a family member, I see exactly what parents see, so I know our updates come across clearly. If you run a daycare and want smoother communication with families and simpler daily routines, PlayDay is worth trying.

Makes Running My Daycare So Much Easier!

I started using the PlayDay app for my daycare business, and it has been awesome! It makes everything throughout the day so much easier to track—from attendance and diaper changes to daily reports. At the end of the day, I simply submit the report and parents automatically receive their child’s daily log.

Communication with parents throughout the day also goes very smoothly. I’m able to send them photos, updates, and communicate directly with them through the app itself, which makes everything so much easier and keeps all our communication in one place.

The onboarding process is also very easy and convenient. What I especially appreciate is how responsive the developer is and how willing they are to listen to feedback, make improvements, and add new features.

Overall, PlayDay makes running my daycare easier, more organized, and helps me stay connected with parents. I would highly recommend it to any childcare provider, whether you run a small or large program!
