Sprout & Vine vs Procare
Procare is enterprise software.
Sprout & Vine is built for how you actually work.
Procare is powerful. It is also complex, expensive, and built for large American operations. Most Canadian centres do not need enterprise software. They need calm, capable tools.
Procare was built for large US childcare chains. If you are running one to five locations in Canada, you are paying for features you will never use, learning a system that takes weeks to set up, and still doing CWELCC reconciliation in a spreadsheet.
