STEM Preschool
GBBrightwheel has been a great resource… Brightwheel has been a great resource for our preschool. Parents and teachers really enjoy all of the features the app has to offer. Brightwheel is always making improvements. They could improve some billing features. However, compared to other billing programs it's extremely convenient and easy.

GBIt has definitely done a lot to update… It has definitely done a lot to update our check in system and payments. The parents are liking it alot with the updates but still trying to work out the kinks between working between the two locations. Communication is a little slow when needed questions answered.

GBBrightwheel- ups and downs Brightwheel has many great features that are “parent facing” such as real time communication, activity updates and photos. However, on the office/billing side, their platform is underwhelming. There are minimal reports available, especially in deposits/invoices. When searching for a child or parent, you start typing in the name, then click on the child you want in the drop down, then click “apply” then click on the specific child again- its tedious and redundant. I’m looking forward to the promised new billing platform hopefully it’ll work out some kinks.

GBBest Childcare App Available As a childcare provider I have tried multiple tracking apps- Brightwheel is hands down the best one I’ve tried! The interface is extremely user friendly and easy to set up and parents love the real time updates on how their kiddo is doing throughout the day! The only thing I wish was easier was using the app to make lesson plans available for viewing by parents (in case their kiddo needs some thing specific for that activity such as water shoes) and easier tracking for potty training. Other then that I love brightwheel and will continue to use it for many years to come!

GBAlthough I have just started using it… Although I have just started using it and it is too early to tell how I feel about it as I also haven't used everything on the site yet. I am enjoying it and am learning as I go, my teachers seem to enjoy it and my parents are liking the daily updates of their children and the security that it offers. I also am liking the ease of the billing part as it is saving me paper and time. I am very please as of now and look forward to the months ahead as I figure it all out.
