Procare Alternative
Why OWNA is the fastest growing Procare Alternative
More US & Canadian childcare centers are switching from Procare to OWNA. Find out why!
- All-In-One Procare Alternative
All-In-One. No Add-Ons.
No more juggling modules, integrations, and third-party tools.
OWNA includes everything in one intuitive platform, but Procare often requires multiple products or add-ons (and extra charges).
Save time, money & tech headaches with everything in one platform:
- Enrolment, CRM & Waitlist
- Billing & Payments
- Parent Communication
- Curriculum & Observations
- Staff Management
Built for everyone. Not just for admin.
Let’s face it. Procare is outdated, clunky, and admin-heavy.
What you want in a Procare alternative is something that works for everyone. A user experience that is fast, intuitive, and built to match your day, not slow it down.
Observations
Snap a photo, add a note, and you're done. No clunky steps or outdated tools.
Family Engagement
Families stay in the loop automatically, with updates sent as you document.
Portfolios
OWNA builds clean, professional portfolios from your daily work. No extra effort required.
Everything in one app
Lesson planning, documentation, and parent comms, all in one easy-to-use platform.

Procare offers basic lead tracking, but OWNA gives you a CRM that helps you convert enquiries into enrolments faster:
Enquiries & Tours
Embed your enquiry form on your website, configure automated responses and add tour slots.
Waitlists
Place families on a waitlist, add tags for priorities, and offer places through a 'Letter of Offer'.
Enrolments
Make enrolment easy with private links, bonds & fast re-enrolment.
Email & SMS
Keep families engaged with email & SMS campaigns.
