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.

Best 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!

Our after school and summer programs… Our after school and summer programs have been using bright wheel and we love it. Parents can be alerted of their kids activities as they are completing them. The program also makes it easy to contact parents in any incident as well as generate detailed reports.

My staff and parents both love the user… My staff and parents both love the user friendly apps & our communication between everyone is much improved. As owner/director it's reports make my job much easier. Do wish they would add a shareable menu feature!

The Greenwood Preschool love Bright Wheel As a parent and preschool owner, I highly recommend BW to any child care facility ! It grealt improve the parent teacher communication , either for the younger group of children ( infant/ Young Toddler ) or older classes in terms of academic activities. The app itself is simple and straight forward . Our school did a soft launch for 2 weeks and 90% teachers have no problem using it on daily basis.
