With FetchKids, organizations have advance notice of parents’ arrival, streamlining the entire pickup process and increasing security and efficiency. Students are ready to dismiss as soon as a parent arrives–a welcome time-saver for both parents and school staff. Our comprehensive, affordable dismissal and communication platform provides schools with all the tools they need to manage attendance and drop-offs, dismissal and pickups, student after school, extracurricular, and activity scheduling, and communications with parents about schedule changes. Any organization that benefits from receiving advance notice of a customer or parent's arrival can utilize FetchKids. Current customers include preschools, elementary schools, special needs schools, and even doggy daycare and adult daycare facilities. Having advance notice of arrival allows for ample time to prepare the child, pet, or senior for pickup. Preparation may involve diaper changes, child/dog/adult clean up, clothing changes, dressing in gear for rain or snow, or gathering belongings. By integrating FetchKids into your dismissal process, you’ll immediately benefit from happier customers and busy parents who recognize that you value their time. Streamlining your operations with FetchKids also reduces staff burden at the most chaotic time of the day. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 24 users.

They were the best-designed app for parents and schools to track complex schedules and authorized adults for pickups. We LOVED the arrival time functionality that allows us to line the students up in order of whose parent is first to arrive. In our daycares, it allows the providers to prepare the child and pack up their items for a smooth pickup as well. This app also has a broadcast communication tool; parents and dropoff/pickup teams can communicate in real time. > > **Cons**: They are still working on integrations into our bigger LMS providers. > > The team is great, and onboarding was smoother than expected. ----- ### "Great, affordable attendance solution." — 4.0/5 > **Crystal** | *7 August 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like that it is an affordable software system for our small organization. We also like that our account rep is very responsive to our needs and questions. The customer service via email is great. > > **Cons**: I wish there was a push notification option so we could message all enrolled or selected accounts. Generally the communication with accounts has areas where it could improve. We would love to see more user friendly or customizable reporting that we could do with the dashboard. > > Overall, this platform serves us well as a small after-school program. The communication team is open to our feedback and responsive to our questions. ----- ### "We love Fetch\!" — 5.0/5 > **Elias** | *20 June 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The reason why we love fetch is because of how easy it is to have parent drop and pick up their kids\! > > **Cons**: There are some features that are just simply not used for us but it is always good to know that they are still there\! ----- ### "Great communication and tracking tool between center and parents\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kim** | *9 August 2024* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a child activity center, we like the variety of options we have for keeping track of our students and communicating with our parents. FetchKids has alleviated our phone traffic and given us a way to streamline communications with our parents. It also allows gives us an estimated time of arrival for pick ups so that we have the kids ready to go when the pick up arrives. > > **Cons**: There are some features that are unavailable in the app and must be done from a desktop computer. > > We have had a great experience with FetchKids. We had been looking for a product to help manage our Mother's Day Out and After School programs that was simple to use for both our center and the parents. We also wanted a tool that allowed us direct contact with parents without having to make numerous phone calls and playing phone tag. FetchKids also allows us to communicate with parents via our personal cell phones without having to give our our personal numbers. It has been a great addition to our programs. ----- ### "Arts Reaching Youth Director" — 5.0/5 > **Fatima** | *14 August 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: That we are able to see when parents are on their way to pick up students. That there is a direct messaging system to parents. How easy the parent app is for them to use. > > **Cons**: Some features you can only access on a desktop - creating new student profiles -marking students calendar (absent) > > 10/10 Overall this has been a great addition to our program compared to the previous PikMyKid. I'm excited to see how it can improve our after school program. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/356822/fetchkids?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/356822/fetchkids) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
