Searching for “sandbox childcare software”? Its website now goes to Procare.
runsandbox.com — the Sandbox homepage and its pricing page — returns a redirect to procaresoftware.com (checked August 30, 2026). Sandbox joined the Procare family, and Procare does not publish its pricing; it is quoted through a sales conversation. Here is what that means next to a published price.
Three things that change the day you switch.
For centers that chose Sandbox and woke up inside a bigger company, these are the three things that change on MyKidReports.
A price you can see
Procare — Sandbox’s new home — quotes pricing through sales. MyKidReports publishes it, for every size of program.
An independent all-in-one
MyKidReports isn’t a module inside a larger suite — it’s one product, built and priced as one thing.
A soft landing for your data
Rosters, parent contacts and billing history move over at no charge — wherever they live today.
Every feature, on every plan — no quote-locked tiers.
The modules a multi-room childcare program actually needs — from check-in to billing to licensing reports. Everything ships with every plan, even the free tier. No quote-locked features, no per-staff fees.
Parent app (iOS + Android)
Daily activity feed, photos, two-way messaging, and contactless check-in/check-out. Same app for every family.
Billing & tuition
Auto-billing, Stripe + Deluxe + ACH and card payments, late-fee rules, and parent-app invoice payments.
Attendance & check-in
QR or PIN check-in/check-out, room rosters, late-pickup alerts, and audit-ready attendance logs.
Staff scheduling
Drag-and-drop scheduling by room, time clock, time-off requests, and ratio-aware coverage.
CACFP food program
USDA-aligned meal logs, daily attendance counts, and quarterly reimbursement reports.
Reports & analytics
Enrollment, capacity, revenue by room, A/R aging, staff cost ratio — for directors and owners.
Enrollment & waitlist
Public inquiry form, tour calendar, digital enrollment packets with e-signature, and per-room waitlists.
Paperwork & licensing
Immunization tracking, staff certifications, incident reports, and licensing-ready document exports.
Center website builder
A public website for your center with built-in inquiry form — included on every plan.
Every module above has a deeper page on the site — with screenshots, customer use cases, and the operational decisions behind how each one works.

There's more to MyKidReports than published pricing.
The reasons centers stay (not just switch) — how the product was built, who built it, and the operating choices behind every-feature-on-every-plan. The full story.
Move off Sandbox in two weeks.
Most centers think switching software is a six-month nightmare. With a free data migration from Sandbox, parent-facing templates, and our team running the cutover, the average switch is ten to fourteen business days — with one parallel week in the middle.
Free Sandbox export
We pull your rosters, billing history, attendance, and parent contacts from Sandbox at no charge.
Audit & clean
Our migration team audits the data, flags incomplete records, and works with your director to fill gaps.
Staff training
90-minute live training for your director. 30 minutes each for teachers. Pre-recorded videos for anyone who joins later.
Parent app rollout
Family email goes out. Parents install MyKidReports during the parallel week, alongside My Sandbox.
Cutover
All operations switch. Billing runs on the new system. Sandbox subscription cancelled at month-end.

The most common reasons ex-Sandbox centers land on MyKidReports.
These four come up most often in conversations with centers that originally chose Sandbox.
“Our software got acquired — we didn’t choose the buyer”
Centers picked Sandbox for what it was. The acquisition made that choice for them. An independent platform with a published price puts the choice back in the director’s hands.
“Renewal became a quote”
Under quote-based pricing, every renewal is a negotiation. A published per-child rate means the renewal price is the same math as the signup price.
“We wanted cost to track enrollment”
$0.99 × enrolled children, every month. Enrollment down over summer? The bill goes down with it.
“Continuity for parents mattered”
A parallel week with both apps running, then a clean cutover — families get one clear switch, not a slow fade.
