    I have used it at 3 different centers and I love it!!   There are things that they update all the time to make better....AND the customer service is great!  They have taken my advice as a director and made changes to make it better.

    Hello,

       We use it at my center and I absolutely love it.  It allows you to showcase the best parts of your day for the families.  Also, being able to direct message the families makes communication so much more efficient than than trying to remember to speak with them about something at pick up or drop off.

    We just started using Brightwheel this school year.  I would highly recommend.  I have used several others in the past and Brightwheel outdoes them all.  There are always adjustments that need to be made in order to adapt to a new system.  Brightwheel customer service is the best.  I highly recommend going to Youtu.be and checking out all the videos.  You could spend a whole day watching.  They are very detailed and have saved me so much time with the learning curve.  You will be assigned a customer onboarding representative and a financial/billing representative to help you get started.  All our enrollment documents in one place, parent messaging via Brightwheel, text and/or email, lesson planning, billing, reporting..... the list goes on.  I don't have to workout side the platform hardly at all.
