Child Care Seer review

Child Care Seer is a browser-based system that keeps prices low and flat per location. The free plan allows up to 5 child check-ins per day and 15 contacts for staff, parents and children, with 30 days of picture retention. Home Seer at $25 a month per location raises that to 25 check-ins a day, unlimited contacts, five tuition assistance children and online card and ACH payments with autopay. Growth Base at $45 a month removes the check-in and classroom limits and includes supported onboarding and data transfer, while Unlimited at $185 adds unlimited Family Connection classrooms, unlimited picture storage and an assigned support specialist. Free and Home Seer charge a $99 supported onboarding fee, and Family Connection, the parent engagement feature, costs $25 per classroom on the lower plans. There are no contracts. Child Care Seer has no dedicated mobile apps, since it runs in any browser, and its parent experience is simpler than the app-first platforms higher on this list.
