The process of hunting for the right child care software is never an easy one, especially for centers who are completing their management and admin tasks manually. Questions may include “What kind of features do I need?” “How much can I afford to spend on software?” and “Will the software I choose really make it easier for me to manage my center?” These are just a few questions to be answered when reviewing the various child care management software options available today.

We provide a no-obligation, free 30 day trial to help you properly evaluate Sandbox as a child care software option, and to ensure that it will meet the specific needs of your center. The free trial lets you to quickly sign up and begin using the full version of Sandbox immediately. Throughout the process of developing our software, we’ve made it a top priority to ensure that it is intuitive and easy-to-use. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your free 30 day trial.

1. Watch the training videos

No matter how easy it is to use, any new software can be overwhelming when you first begin using it. To help with this, we’ve built over 20 tutorial videos to guide you through each section of Sandbox. The videos are short clips, with most around a minute long, and they include step by step instructions to help you learn the software, and set it up specifically for your center. The training videos cover all of the main sections of Sandbox, from setting up your classes to adding child and family information, billing your parents, adding your staff, and generating reports.
