KangarooTime is built for mid-size to large childcare centers with multiple classrooms, bus routes, and complex billing needs. For home daycare providers, that complexity means higher costs and features you'll never use.
DaycarePro charges one flat monthly price ($12, $30, or $47) whether you have 4 kids or 14. KangarooTime uses per-child pricing that scales with enrollment.
DaycarePro supports English, Spanish, and Portuguese. KangarooTime offers English and Spanish but not Portuguese, leaving out a significant provider community.
Parents just open a web link. No app store, no downloads. KangarooTime requires app installs for both staff and parents.
DaycarePro was designed from day one for solo home providers. No classroom management, no bus routes, no features built for 200-kid centers.
Our team personally sets up your account at no cost. KangarooTime charges for onboarding and implementation support.
No contracts. Cancel anytime.
KangarooTime has features that DaycarePro doesn't: tuition billing and payment processing, bus/van tracking, and multi-site management for center chains. If you operate a large center with transportation needs or complex billing, KangarooTime may be a better fit. DaycarePro focuses on the operational core that home providers actually need, at a fraction of the cost.
