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.

Brightwheel is great Brightwheel is great! Our parents absolutely love the connection they feel to their child when they are gone by getting notes on the play by play of the day. Messaging, photos, and even billing are so easy. We love that it streamlines communication for us through its messaging feature. And it's sleek and easy to use. We definitely recommend it!

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.

Brightwheel 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.
