How to sync Procare with Huckleberry automatically
The short answer: Procare and Huckleberry don't connect on their own, so most parents end up retyping the daycare report every night. databébé connects them for you. On your daycare days, it adds the naps, bottles, and diapers your daycare logged in Procare to Huckleberry automatically, before pickup. It takes a few minutes to set up and costs $3/month.
Can Procare connect to Huckleberry?
Not directly. Procare is built for daycares to run the room and share the day with families through the Procare Connect app. Huckleberry is built for parents to track sleep and feeding. Neither app has a built-in connection to the other.
That's the gap databébé fills. It signs in to your Procare parent account, fetches the day's activities, and adds each one to your Huckleberry timeline, so SweetSpot knows about the nap your baby took at 12:30.
What comes over from Procare to Huckleberry?
| In Procare | In Huckleberry |
|---|---|
| Naps | Naps, with start and end times |
| Bottles | Bottle feeds, with amounts |
| Diapers | Diaper changes (wet, dirty, both, or dry), including when diaper cream was applied |
Every entry keeps the exact time your daycare logged it. Photos, learning activities, and sign-in and sign-out times stay in Procare.
How do I set it up?
- Sign up at databebe.com and choose Procare as your daycare app.
- Sign in to Procare and Huckleberry. Use the same email and password you use in the Procare Connect app and in Huckleberry. Your logins are stored encrypted.
- Pick your child from your Procare account and choose your daycare days. databébé runs on those days, timed to finish before pickup.
That's it. From then on, your baby's daycare day shows up in Huckleberry on its own.
Why bother getting Procare data into Huckleberry?
Huckleberry's SweetSpot predicts the next nap and bedtime from the sleep it knows about. If your baby's daycare naps aren't in Huckleberry, the prediction is working from half a day. One missing 90-minute nap can throw off bedtime.
Most parents stop tracking within a month of starting daycare because retyping the report is too much. databébé means you don't have to choose between accurate predictions and your evenings.
