Pros

“It tracks everything I need, allows parents to see everything their child does, and allows for quick communication.”
TB

Tabitha B.

Daycare Owner

“I wish my son's school would use the calendar feature more and have the calendar push automatic reminders about days off, special things for school, etc.”
NT

Nicole T.

Marketing Manager

“We have used it at 2 separate facilities and it works very well for communication with the providers and keeping the parent informed of any and all aspects of their children's daily routine while at the facility.”

Cons

“Brightwheel does not store photos for free, requiring users to pay to access photo galleries from the past.”
SM

Sanaa M.

Teacher

“Each kid, each photo, each goal, each section, each description (because again, it doesn't pull from the lesson plan descriptions, even when the photo is from a lesson plan that's in Brightwheel), it's just really time consuming.”
JR

Jessica R.

Lead Teacher

“I currently have to pull everyone from active and inactive to a spread sheet only to delete what I do not need based on enrollment and end dates. ”
