Raise Montana partners with Playground as a resource to support Montana child care providers & offer preferred pricing
Playground is child care management software that helps Montana providers lower administrative overhead and maximize revenue
A testimonial from a Kalispell, Montana provider
"Playground's customer service is quick to respond and they truly want feedback. They have a changelog and roadmap where you can suggest new features or changes to existing features, you can add comments to already made suggestions (or your own suggestions), you can vote on the suggestions that you would find most beneficial, and you can see what is being worked on or has already been rolled out. Program Owners/Directors are the ones that are driving the changes within Playground! I have even had them make changes on the spot when using the customer service chat.
Their waitlist feature and staff/student paperwork features are among my favorites that other software did not quite hit the mark with. The best part is, parents can access everything from the app instead of having to get on a computer for some key features. They have done a great job including the business needs as well as the staff needs and the parents needs.
The team is eager to improve Playground to best meet the needs of child care programs and they are small enough that change can happen quickly. "
