Easy tuition processing
Reviewed on 2020/09/17
It is well worth the savings in time it would take counting checks and cash, making bank deposits etc
Pros
I like how easy and convenient Tuition express is. It is almost effortless to collect tuition electronically.
Cons
Some credit card processing fees are really high. Some are upwards of 10%. Most are between 2-5%. Wish there was. Way to know what the fee is before running a card.

Great Software, very difficult to get customer support
Reviewed on 2018/10/14
Over all, I will continue to use Tuition Express.
Pros
Tuition Express provides seamless interaction between Procare and billing. The system is easy for my staff and our parents to use. As a business owner, it is great to be able to access the software remotely via the cloud. In addition, the reports are easy to pull and easy to understand.
Cons
I don't have a con about the software. However, it is nearly impossible to get customer support. There are always long wait times on the phone and when you opt to leave a message for an agent to call you back it is typically and hour or more before someone returns your call.
Response from Procare Software
Jennifer - We're glad to hear how easy Tuition Express is for your staff and parents to use. We're sorry you've found it challenging to reach support. Hold times do vary and it can often be easier to get through early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Tuition Express Support is available from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific. If your question is Procare-related you also have the option of calling our main Tech Support number or submitting a question online. Hope that helps.

Anytime we call they are extremely helpful and explain everything. They usually call back in a timely fashion.
Pros
There usually is a way to correct errors
Cons
Don't like that you get locked out of lines in the ledger
Response from Procare Software
Lucille - We're glad you find the support team so helpful. As to having locked lines in the ledger, you may be referencing one of two things both of which you have control over. First, it could be you want to be able to post a date farther in the past or future. To do so see: http://procaresupport.com/how-can-i-post-past-or-future-dates-on-the-ledger-card/. Second, you may be referring payments that have a lock icon because they have been closed in a deposit report. If it's a cash or check payment you can unlock the item, see: http://procaresupport.com/deposit-correction-unlock-ledger-card/. Hope that helps!

So Easy to Use
Reviewed on 2019/05/08
Working with Tuition Express has been great. Our rep has been great to work with and is easily accessible the few times that I've had questions!
Pros
Our childcare centers have been using Procare/MyProcare for the past two months. Originally, our plan was to start with my center and slowly roll it out to our other 3 childcare centers, one each month. After the first week of my program having parents pay online using MyProcare, I had our IT Dept open it up to the other 3 centers to immediately start using. It was SO easy!! The parents love the ease and convenience of paying their tuition online, and I (and the other 3 directors) love how quickly we are now able to complete the billing aspect of our job & be with the children our programs service. Most of us used to spend several hours each week completing weekly billing, but with MyProcare & Tuition Express, we can complete this task in 15 minutes or less!!
Cons
Nothing! Sure, the initial setup--entering families and carrying their balances from our old spreadsheets--was a little time-consuming, but once that initial task was complete, it's been easy going.

Tuition Express survey
Reviewed on 2018/09/26
It has shortened my workday, reduced the amount of accts. receivable every week, eased payments for our parents. Love that the parents know the exact amount of their weekly fees at payment screen. Has almost eliminated those pesky "left over" fees (extra meals, field trips, etc.) that parent's can forget.
Pros
It is very user friendly. For parents and staff that are not computer comfortable, it is very non-threatening.
Cons
No cons that I can think of. You have done a great job.

Easy way to collect Tuition
Reviewed on 2019/03/20
It has been super helpful to collect tuition payments from parents.
Pros
I love how it works seamlessly with Procare. Typing in the information and updating card information is very simple, quick, and easy. Parents are able to pay via one time payment or through recurring payments.
Cons
It can be tricky to know which icon is for what purpose. But honestly, this could be human error on my part.

I had an amazing experience with my phone call and the support he provided.
Pros
I like that it keeps our kids and Employees records together. It's easy to use and very easy to run our tuition each month.
Cons
When I don't understand the bank end of it. ex.- If a tuition payment we try to submit gets returned and we try again, the parents say the money is there so dont understand why it won't go through. I did not understand in this case why we could not get it to go through so I called customer service and asked for support.

I was nervous about starting automatic payments with my childcare center. The support staff walked me through the steps to set up and submit the payments. He took his time, explained every step, answered all my quesitons, and never made me feel hurried or uncomfortable. Procare takes care of their customers by taking care of training their techs.
Pros
It is easy to understand and follow the steps.
Cons

Excellent Customer Service
Reviewed on 2017/01/12
We use Tuition Express-it's extremely easy and user friendly. Payment information goes directly to and from Procare so that our office staff and parents can both see and access accounts easily. We batch credit card and checking payments and have a much better overview of our financial picture for the month. One of the very best things about Tuition Express and other Procare products is the extremely responsive, helpful and friendly customer service. If we have any questions at all we just call up customer service and they not only "fix" that particular issue, they explain what and WHY so that we become better managers and users. We have been very satisfied with Procare and with Tuition Express.

Tuition Express is a lifesaver!
Reviewed on 2021/02/09
We switched exclusively to Tuition Express for child care tuition a couple of years ago. It is so easy to set parents up in ProCare using Tuition Express. It has cut down on past due balances tremendously. Families love that they don't have to remember to pay tuition each week and it can automatically come out of their account.
Pros
Tuition Express is so simple to use to pull our families tuition payments every week. We no longer need to accept check or cash payments. This has helped tremendously with unpaid balances.
Cons
The only con I can think of is the fees. It is cheaper than credit card fees, but I think the fee could be lower.
