Recensioni su Tadpoles

Great parent portal!

Commenti: It’s a great app for parents to keep abreast of their kids daily happenings. It’s easy to use, easy to follow and makes saving the cute pictures from their day a breeze.

Aspetti positivi:

As a parent, this app is very user friendly. I have multiple children and the organization of each of their updates and pictures makes it so easy to check in on their day.

Aspetti negativi:

Every once in a while the app won’t update for me right away when opening; occasionally getting stuck on a different day. Typically if I close it and open it up a little while later the issue resolves itself.

We LOVE Tadpoles

Commenti: We have been overall very pleased with Tadpoles as it is easy to use, efficient, and was a nice addition to our unique communication features

Aspetti positivi:

Tadpoles is easy to use, helps to get important information out to families, connect with staff and send photos and progress notes to families so they can see their children's activities, especially during the pandemic when parents are not permitted in the building.

Aspetti negativi:

There are no features that I can think of that leave me unsatisfied. Tadpoles was well developed and really is useful to busy teachers and administrators

Previous Religious User

Commenti: Tadpoles was very simple to use from both a childcare provider and childcare administrator perspective and while I am sure there have been updates since I last used the software we had to use a separate software to track our enrollment and transitions.

Aspetti positivi:

The functional use of Tadpoles was fairly straight forward.

Aspetti negativi:

There were not many if any options to integrate softwares when I used Tadpoles.

There is potential for greatness, it needs some updates to meet the new quality insurance and standards of childcare in this day and age.

Commenti: I think it did what it needed to do until it became outdated and we had to move on.

Aspetti positivi:

I liked the front dashboard page of all of the students and teacher pictures to easily see who was here and not here and for what reason.

Aspetti negativi:

The app and software was extremely outdated and did not do everything we needed at our center. The help desk and customer service was extremely slow and getting back to us in a timely manner. It took too long for them to finally stop billing us and shut our account down.

Great communication tool

Aspetti positivi:

Everything in one place. Can do attendance, curriculum, parent communication, and daily reports in one convenient app

Aspetti negativi:

It does glitch out on occassion App needs to be forced closed to restart

Tadpoles app

Commenti: Not a terrible app but room for improvement

Aspetti positivi:

User friendly and easy to navigate the app

Aspetti negativi:

Uploading pictures feature and ability to tag multiple kids

Tadpoles 3 Months

Commenti: Tadpoles was a great experience overall. The teachers and families appreciated the versatility in options and updates fro their children.

Aspetti positivi:

Tadpoles was very user-friendly, creatively designed, and resourceful.

Aspetti negativi:

Tadpoles software was difficult to set up and more costly than our current software.

Good beginner Childcare software

Commenti: Tadpole is great to start usibg if you have never used a software in your classroom before. Definitely helps you stay more organized.

Aspetti positivi:

Tadpole allows you to digitally input everything from your students day in the comfort of your own classroom. With something as small as a phone, you can download the app and input their whole day. Everything from diaper changes to feedings and parents absolutely love it. It completely changed how I organized my classroom. We never had any problems uploading anything, which was amazing.

Aspetti negativi:

There are better softwares out on the market right now that allow you to do more with their app. More features so we stopped using Tadpole for this reason. Its a great beginner software, but we out grew it. You can't do as many admin features as other software inn the market.

Good to feel closer to my son

Commenti: Thanks to this we can talk with our son about what he did and learned during the day, this gives us common topics to stimulate his development

Aspetti positivi:

I like that we feel closer to the teachers, we see the work and the activities they do each day, we see the photos and we have topics to ask and talk with our son

Aspetti negativi:

Navigability is difficult, going from one day to another or from one month to another is complicated, downloading photos or videos is not always possible, having some kind of feedback to the teachers is not easy.

Pretty darn good.

Commenti: smoother daily operations

Aspetti positivi:

Amount of content that can be stored for each student. I like the daily count and the historical info too.

Aspetti negativi:

Slow communication between tablets and server. Wish that new students populated faster than they do. We add new students, then there is a dupe once system catches up.

Best Product Ever!

Aspetti positivi:

This is one of the greatest programs I have ever used. So simple to set up and run, creates great emails for families, and easy to update on the go.

Aspetti negativi:

I cannot think of anything. I love using it!

Parent User Approved

Commenti: I love the updates and ability to have everything for both kids in one spot. It eases my mind to know my children are doing well.

Aspetti positivi:

Its great to have updates within my hands at any moment without feeling like i need to call or inconvenience a teacher. Also we have so much data so many places via log ins and emails and voicemails and portals. It's nice to have one place as it realates to my child and their education and care.

Aspetti negativi:

i didnt feel like all of the features were being used to the best of their ability. Some quick self help videos may have been helpful at the time for users.

Communication is Key!

Commenti: Overall, I really enjoyed using Tadpoles and was very impressed. I think communication is KEY and a software program like this allows you to do that in the highest way. Your families will love you for it!

Aspetti positivi:

I used this software as a teacher in a classroom and it was by far the best thing in my classroom. Going from writing everything down on a clipboard, to being able to input things quickly and store them, was a dream. I was also with infants, so my parents that were using Tadpoles were mostly first time parents, and the ease and availability of communicating with them allowed me to do a better job and they fell in love with me/Tadpoles.

Aspetti negativi:

We would have issues with Tadpoles being "unavailable" and I'm not entirely sure if it was a connection issue, or a Tadpoles issue, but it would cause frustration with parents and colleagues.

Tadpoles For Kids

Aspetti positivi:

Tadpoles is really great. It gives parents and caregivers a means of communication without being directly face to face. There are instant updates with pictures, schedules, etc.

Aspetti negativi:

I like all of the functionality of the program, but I think it needs to be upgraded in its appearance more modern.

A Childcare Worker's Best Friend!

Commenti: It's amazing. Parents love knowing what their children are doing throughout the day and getting pictures of their kids while they play or do fun activities.

Aspetti positivi:

I loved the instantaneous message system that delivers updates to parents-- parents miss their children as much as their kids miss them so this enables some communication back and forth when things get really tough.

Aspetti negativi:

No spellcheck! There is a lot of typing and quickly sending messages to parents and you always need to be sure you type everything correctly.

Tadpoles App

Aspetti positivi:

I really liked the capability for parents to be able to see daily updated activities and lessons being done in the classroom. It was helpful to be able to plug in all the weekly lessons and have them ready to go, in case of a substitute teacher or just so parents know they upcoming themes and lessons.

Aspetti negativi:

It took me much longer to understand this App over a couple others I have used as a teacher. I had to write in everything manually when this App was used at my former school which took a lot of time. To have lesson options, as in core standards and basic theme titles, would have made lesson planning much easier.

Tadpoles Review

Commenti: Tadpoles is a good idea and helpful for parents and caregivers. However, the app is unorganized and could be remodeled.

Aspetti positivi:

I liked the opportunities to track throughout the day and keep parents involved while their child is being cared for.

Aspetti negativi:

It’s unorganized and difficult to maneuver at first, one definitely has to be taught how the software works.

Good Quality

Commenti: It has everything we were looking for.

Aspetti positivi:

It really does a lot for you and your teaching team. Parents also love it as well.

Aspetti negativi:

The cost can be high for the software compared to other systems.

Easy to use, but a little buggy

Aspetti positivi:

I love getting updates about my daughter while she's at school, and seeing what she's done throughout the day.

Aspetti negativi:

Sometimes the pictures take a long time to load and I can't cycle through them. I end up switching to the email I received half the time to get to them faster.

Tadpole

Aspetti positivi:

I like that this software is easy to use and navigate for teachers and parents.

Aspetti negativi:

This software was a little bit expensive.

Great for parents

Commenti: Overall a good experience, I wish my child care provider would have utilized it more.

Aspetti positivi:

I liked that I could receive photos and updates about my child’s day

Aspetti negativi:

It would sometimes shut down and be unable to use

Highly Recommended

Aspetti positivi:

Everything!This changes the game,when it comes to parental education,n early childhood.It is a way to let your parents know what is going on at school, in real time. We used to update parents by paper,but this is so much cooler.We can include lesson plans ,daily transitions and even special notes .

Aspetti negativi:

I dont have any complaints.Tadpoles is a game changer.

Tadpoles

Aspetti positivi:

The best thing about this software is getting updates about your child's day. It gives you peace of mind when you cannot be with them.

Aspetti negativi:

With the child care center taking pictures and sending updates throughout the day, I worry that it could be a distraction from supervision in the classroom. This is not really a reflection of the software, but a result of using the software in a classroom.

Childcare Tadpoles

Commenti: Too complex to do simple task. But I do like the feature where you can choose a class.

Aspetti positivi:

You can choose a class. You are able to move kids easily in whatever classroom including yourself. You can keep an album of pictures.

Aspetti negativi:

Too many features to toggle back and forth. You can easily make a mistake. It's not easy to use and it too complex

Great program

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use! I have used both brightwheel and tadpoles. Overall I like tadpoles. As a daycare provider it’s easier due to each child’s profile counting down till the next diaper change

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing it’s great! Definitely recommend
