Stop Overpaying for Software—Save Money by Switching to GoEngage
Head Start budgets are shrinking, and ChildPlus prices are rising. Are you overpaying for software that doesn’t serve your needs?
Most Head Start programs that switch to GoEngage from ChildPlus save an average of 20%—without sacrificing compliance, reporting, or family engagement tools.*
How Much Are You Overpaying?
1️⃣ Software Costs Have Gone Up—But Your Budget Hasn’t
With rising operational costs, every dollar counts—yet ChildPlus has continued to raise prices, forcing programs to stretch their budgets even further.
Many agencies are now paying for features they don’t use or are locked into pricing models that don’t match their program size.
With GoEngage’s flexible, child-based pricing, you only pay for what you need—no extra fees, no hidden costs, and no unnecessary add-ons. Programs that switch to GoEngage report significant savings while maintaining all essential features.
2️⃣ Inefficient Software Wastes Time & Money
When staff spends hours manually tracking family engagement, submitting reports, or managing compliance due to cumbersome software, that’s money lost on staff time.
GoEngage is built to save time and increase efficiency, allowing your team to:
Automate reporting—Generate PIR and compliance reports with one click
Streamline family communication—Send bulk texts, emails, and app notifications instantly
Simplify data tracking—No more redundant paperwork or duplicate entries
If your software isn’t helping your team do more with less, it’s costing you more than you think.
3️⃣ Every Month You Wait, You Lose More
Every month you stay with an overpriced or inefficient system, you’re paying more than you need to. That money could be:
Reallocated to staff salaries, training, or direct classroom resources
Used to enhance family engagement programs
Invested in additional support services for children and families
Switching to GoEngage doesn’t just cut costs—it maximizes impact.
