If you are currently with another management platform, I would recommend you go straight to Discover. We believe Discover is so much better because of the rich information it provides, the reporting and their progressive approach to customer feedback.

I think the biggest apprehension was probably the movement of the data and the funding side of things. You know, taking all the information and moving it across to Discover and sort of holding your breath to make sure that the enrolments had gone across, the accounts had merged, all that sort of side of things. And that, when funding came around, was it going to work? And yeah, it was done really, really well. We had no issues.

It [Discover] keeps on improving—it just keeps getting better. Discover’s still listening to clients and adapting to meet clients’ needs…that’s what I’ve liked with the last years is that it’s just been constant new features and constant improvements.

It’s been really big for our families to be able to have that connection whilst being away from each other for a whole day. And the other thing it’s allowed us to do is plan in partnership with our families for the aspirations for their children. Playground has really offered us the opportunity to not let our parents down in that sense.
