This App is terrible
Honestly-Nothing! As a parent who uses this app daily I find it to be awful!
CONSThis software does not allow you to see multiple kids at once on a feed without going back and forth. Going back and forth between children is a pain!! Then when I select a child the default is Profile view, I am the parent I don't care about the profile I want to go right to my child's feed. It would be nice if there was a quick view to check in and just see a quick update of all my children on the home screen. There are times when I only have a minute or two to look quick and I just can't with all the back and forth clicking between kids and not being able to see their feeds without some more clicking. I also hate that when a nap is ended it doesn't show the time napped. I only get that at the end of the day when I get a summary after my kids are checked out. I know I can look and see when they started and then when it ended and figured it out, but the starts are not always logged and visible. A summary on their feed would be nice. I also know there are other glitches with this app especially with the pay and checking in and out of kids. My daycare center does not like this app either, but they don't have a choice. The app that was used before this was called Daily Connect and it was absolutely wonderful. You could leave notes, see feeds or multiple kids for quick glances. Yes, there was not payment option on that to keep things simple, but bright wheel doesn't keep things simple now. As a parent & daily user of this app w/ multiple kids , it is TERRIBLE!

Stupendous and Great Child Care Management System.
PROSAttendance Billing Parent Communicatons Newsletter publishing Reporting and tailored towards taking care of the administrative paperwork to help us focus on teaching and others.
CONSNothing was missing from the main features required for child care management system. I would simply say not applicable or nothing to this question.
Reason for choosing brightwheel
Our State PreK made the switch since we could not get wonderschool to get the check in and check out attendance signatures printed as PDF because when downloaded into EXCELS the signatures do not save into this file.
Reasons for switching to brightwheel
Attendance with checking in and checking out signature to meet the State regulatory requirements during audit.
