Brightwheel- 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.

One educator's review on Brightwheel As an educator, this software is time consuming and very clunky. In order to create one row of a lesson plan it takes no less than 16 clicks - for one row! Keep in mind that one row includes ONLY Circle Time for the week. As an educator/administrator: think how many plans/activities a teacher creates for one day in an ELC. Also, it does not offer an integrated Assessment tool - a definite step backwards from our former program.

Although 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.

Brightwheel is perfect for our… Brightwheel is perfect for our childcare! Parents love how it lets them stay super connected with their child throughout the day. Administratively it makes many processes a breeze. Brightwheel helps puts your childcare above the rest!

Brightwheel is awesome all-in-one app for daycares and schools. Brightwheel is an awesome app that really makes my in-home daycare stand out from among other daycares. Being able to give parents information, in real time, about their child's day really makes a difference. The parents love it, and I love it. It makes billing clients super convenient as well as keeping track of attendance and other important business logs. For me...its an all-in-one great app. The price is very reasonable. I love it.
