I think the idea is smart in some ways but I tend to disagree with the tablet in other ways. It is great so the parents don’t have your phone number.
The reasons I don’t like it is I tend to disagree with all these electronic devices. It is a hassle for the parents to sign in too. Also I don’t enjoy carrying this large tablet around.
great for childcare of all ages!
We use brightwheel daily for a school age after school program. The room system has been phenomenal for our bus routes to check in students as they enter the bus.
Brightwheel has been very helpful
Brightwheel has been very helpful
In helping me stay organized from the moment I opened my new center. My families as love the communication and it has been a very important piece of enrollment for my center.
Super convenient for my classroom
Super convenient for my classroom. Easy to keep track of the daily activities and duties. Parents love it for the communication and updates throughout the day.

I really like Brightwheel it just needs a few more options that it doesn't eat this time. One option it needs is for us (staff) to be able to see when we clocked out or in. Also being able to edit things in bulk (multiple kids at time) would be nice. We can input info in bulk but if you mess something up then you have to go in and correct it under each kid.
I love being able to stay in contact with my parents
I love being able to stay in contact with my parents throughout the day even when I’m in the class room! My parents love the updates and the phots they received it really brings another level of comfort for them when they are at work.

Thank you for taking stress away
I love Brightwheel
I love Brightwheel! It lets me document all the activities the kids do during the day. Parents have told me how much they love seeing what their child is doing in real-time!
I love the brightwheel app
I love the brightwheel app. It is so easy to use and to update my parents! The parents love receiving updates throughout the day and pictures of the kiddies. Many times I have chatted with the brightwheel team and they are always ready to help or fix a problem.
We are not a typical daycare
We are not a typical daycare, but a small special needs private school. My billing is so much easier. I get my money quicker and it is less expensive than my quick books account.
I love the ability I have to keep communication with the families in 1 place.
My parents love the pictures we post to them throught out the day.
Good app but I’m not impressed.

I really like Brightwheel as a tool to use in my school. We are still new to BW, but so far super easy to navigate. Parents and Staff all love the ease and consistency of it. The only missing part for me, as a manager, is the ability to add staff scheduling. Once that part is added, it will be amazing!
Brightwheel is great for communicating
Brightwheel is great for communicating with parents . It helps us stay organized and have all the important information at out fingertips . It would be helpful to be able to put a date range in the calendar for multiple days off during school vacations instead if having to put in each day individually. Otherwise , we love it . We had to evacuate today and were able to communicate with parents effectively and efficiently. The app made all the difference - parents felt informed in a timely matter . Made a huge difference
Love the open lines of communication
