How to Download All Your Procare Photos & Videos

Save every photo and video from Procare in one click, at full quality, before your account is downgraded when your child leaves.

To download all your Procare photos and videos at once, install the free NurseryDownloader Chrome extension, sign in to Procare Connect in Chrome, open your child's Photos page and click Download all photos & videos. Every photo and video saves at full quality into dated folders.

If your daycare uses Procare, it has quietly built up hundreds of photos and videos of your child. The catch: Procare only lets you save them one at a time, and once your child moves on, your account is downgraded and those photos get much harder to reach.

NurseryDownloader is a Chrome extension that saves them all, every photo and video, at full quality, in one click. Here's how.

Download every Procare photo in one click

Step 1: Install the extension

  1. Open Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a laptop or desktop (the extension doesn't run on phones or tablets).
  2. Add NurseryDownloader from the Chrome Web Store.
  3. Click Add to Chrome, then Add extension.

Step 2: Sign in to Procare

  1. Go to schools.procareconnect.com and sign in with your parent account.
  2. Open the page where your child's photos and videos appear.

Step 3: Click download

  1. The NurseryDownloader panel appears in the top-right of the page.
  2. Click Download all photos and videos.
  3. Everything saves at full quality in month-by-month folders, with date-first filenames.

What you get

  • Photos and videos, saved at full quality, the original files, not lossy screenshots.
  • Organised by date, a folder for each child, then month-by-month sub-folders. Prefer one big folder? There's a toggle for that.
  • Older photos too, it loads the archived items as well as the recent ones.
  • Your photos stay private: they go straight from the app to your computer, never through our servers, and it never asks for your password because it works in the browser where you're already signed in.

Your first 20 downloads are free, so you can check the quality before you buy a licence.

Questions parents ask

Does it download Procare videos too?

Yes, videos are saved alongside the photos, at full quality, filed under the date they were posted.

I have more than one child, does it get them all at once?

Yes. Start from your dashboard (the feed you see after signing in) and one run covers every child on your account. From one child's photo page it saves just that child.

Does it save the captions or notes?

It saves the photos and videos themselves, organised by date. It doesn't export the written captions or notes.

We're about to leave, will I lose the photos?

Once your child leaves, your account is usually downgraded and the photos get much harder to reach. The daycare isn't keeping a copy for you either, so save them all while you still have full access.

Is it safe?

Yes. Your photos go straight from Procare to your computer and never pass through our servers, so we never see them. And it never asks for your Procare password: it works in your own browser, where you're already signed in.

NurseryDownloader runs in Chrome on a laptop or desktop, so it can’t be installed on a phone. Pop your email in and we’ll send you the link to open when you’re next at a computer.
