I really liked this app when I first got it. I am a small home based centre so do not need premium and it had everything I did need. Except now they keep taking features away and making them premium features only. If I had a larger centre it might be worth paying for premium but as a small provider it's not worth the money and I don't need many of the features I'd be paying for. At the rate they're going soon I won't be able to use the app at all. It's highly disappointing.
I love the easy use of this app and the fact that it allows the teachers to shown pictures of your kiddos throughout the day, updates potty times, accidents, meal times, nap times, and even lesson plans.
It's a good app. I wish the developers would add a section that allowed parents and teachers to make a calander schedule for when kids can be there.
It is the most tedious set of steps to sign my child in and out. Also the payments never come out properly. If there were any other daycares in our area that had spots available, i would switch just because I hate this app that much.
The Dasia and staff are great they take time everyday to teach and the environment is beautiful my grandbaby Leyah loves going ❤️
In one word Reliable
Absolutely love love love this app I can see what baby girl is doing throughout the day! Highly recommend.
Very nice schools in plays playschool
I want to amend my previous review. It was not a fault of brightwheel that I had an issue with uploading pictures. It had to do with my phone not being on network with our school's internet service. I apologize for the previous review!
Brightwheel is great. We get updates on the events going on or if there is a sickness going around and reviews on your child specifically. The preschool teachers can post pics if the students.
