All activity is logged so we have no need for paper daily sheets. We can easily message our parents individually AND send out messages to the whole school. > > **Cons**: The billing feature isn't quite where we need it do be, but they have already fixed it and we are just waiting to be updated to the new platform. > > Being able to message parents back and forth is so nice now that our staff doesn't have to use their personal phone to text. With COVID rising and possible winter weather arriving soon, the fact that we can send out an alert if we need to close is crucial\! It sends a text message as well as the message in the app. Also, they are constantly adding new features and making updates using feedback from users. They are always friendly and helpful\! ----- ### "Awesome program\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Courtney** | *2 December 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of parent, communication and the integration with payroll > > **Cons**: Some things that are easily done on the computer are not as easily done on the app and most of the time I’m on my phone > > Brightwheel has been fantastic. It has really helped us with parent communication and on boarding of new students and staff. ----- ### "Not a bad platform" — 3.0/5 > **Mark** | *28 November 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its ability to bill parents for credit card, debit card or ACH fees directly > > **Cons**: The cost of the software. The more parents the more it cost > > I liked its overall capability. It did have some clugie issues ----- ### "Pros and Cons" — 4.0/5 > **Jessica** | *29 October 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like that you can save lesson plans from one year to the next. It makes it easier to see where the kids should typically be at at certain times of the year. The communication with the parents is really great too. It's easy to take pictures and attach them to lesson plans and send them to the parents. Messaging can be sent either from the lesson plan, from a photo or video, or from the messaging section, which is nice. And you can send to entire classrooms for announcements like our recent Halloween party. > > **Cons**: The assessment portion is difficult. It doesn't connect to the lesson plans, so when you take a picture of a lesson plan that has developmental goals/milestones on it, it doesn't automatically upload that photo and lesson plan to that kids' portfolio. And you have to input everything separately. 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. It's not clear how you make a template, or if that would even be helpful. And there aren't any example templates or template tutorials so you can see what that would look like. You can't send them to the parents either. Which kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. > > Overall, it's easy to use and has a very organized structure so you can see where things should be or how they should go, even if you haven't done that specific thing yet. ----- ### "A bright spot in Child Care\!" — 4.0/5 > **Shaun** | *31 October 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that brightwheel does a great job of allowing the staff at my child's preschool to keep me as a parent updated on what is going on throughout the day in many different aspects. > > **Cons**: While not a huge problem, I would like the chat functionality within the App to send push notifications when my wife responds to messages as well. As it is, I will receive a notification if someone from my child's preschool sends a message, but I will not get a notification that my wife sent one as well in response. This would be helpful so that I would know without having to open the App and navigate to find the exact conversation, just to realize that a question has been answered or situation handled. > > Overall my experience with brightwheel has been great. 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. ----- Page: 1 / 132\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.sg/software/104969/brightwheel?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.sg/software/104969/brightwheel) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
