## Reviews

### "CRAFTS is the right tool for childcare operations" — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *December 20, 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how it is an easy and logical tool to follow, in addition that it does the equation calculations for you, this eliminates a number of errors by the user
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to be able to set more specific activity permissions for users, within the key sections, as the way our organization operates our childcare manager has some responsibilities for some activities that are only available with full Administration access, so currently I am now needing to do these versus them, due to lack of access - I don't want to give them Administrator access
> 
> Great - I love the support and helpfulness that we have gotten and continue to, even into our 6mth of operations. The time that has been provided to us, to ensure success has been very appreciated.

### "CRAFTS is a fabulous program" — 5.0/5

> **Shannon** | *November 27, 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easy to use and staff are wonderful to deal with.
> 
> **Cons**: Notifications need to slow down a bit but other than that it is a great program.
> 
> Excellent program with supreme efficiency and easy to maneuver through different functions.

### "Great software\!" — 5.0/5

> **Gabrielle** | *July 16, 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Looked at a few different platforms, but CRAFTS made the most sense for our needs and specifications\! The customer service team is very responsive, knowledgeable and helpful.  The team was able to fulfill a lot of our specific requests and tweaks, and they are very quick to respond to questions.
> 
> **Cons**: Although CRAFTS does have an email option, there is no current option to have a sort of inbox (or see past sent emails). You send off an email, and that's it; parents and staff must respond to YOUR work email, so it takes the communication off crafts and onto another platform. We are still working out our messaging/communication functions and seeing what works best for our team\!
> 
> Overall I really like CRAFTS, and how easy it is to use. As an Admin, I need to be familiar will all current aspects of our software package, and CRAFTS is great to answer all questions, and apply tweaks when possible.  Our facility has never used a software for childcare management, so we of course had a lot of questions, however CRAFTS was able to develop something for us that suits a lot of our needs.

### "A Game Changer\!" — 5.0/5

> **Orvia** | *June 7, 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: CRAFTS stands out for its user-friendly interface, comprehensive features, efficiency, and emphasis on communication and data security. It’s a robust system that significantly enhances the management and operation of our organization.
> 
> **Cons**: For new users, there might be a learning curve to understand and navigate through the various features of CRAFTS. More intuitive onboarding and user guides could help alleviate this. User experience can vary based on individual needs and expectations.

### "CRFTS is great." — 5.0/5

> **sarhang** | *March 21, 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User-Friendly Interface: One of CRAFTS's many standout features is its intuitive user interface. Navigating the platform is easy.
> 
> **Cons**: I like using CRAFT; I like everything about CRAFTS, but I don't know if there is anything I like least about CRAFTS.
