Hate everything about this

Shay jaywhydoineedauniquename on

Great, yet another way for daycare to bother me. Why don’t parents understand that it’s ok to leave your children at school without knowing what is happening every second of the day? The teachers now have to spend all day writing updates for this stupid app instead of just playing with the kids. I don’t need to know how many fishes the kids counted, I’m in a goddam business meeting! I don’t even understand the point of this. I can see how much they ate when you send the lunchbox home. I don’t need them to write it down if they ate or not. And this app does nothing else but make you obsess over how much your kid is eating and sleeping and learning. It’s not healthy! Holy cow its a whole new level of clingy obnoxiousness that doesn’t let parents or kids get a two minute break from each other.

Great app

Excellent platform regardless the size of your setting. Very easy to use and saves a lot of time. Parents loves being able to see all updates right away especially pictures or videos. All van be done from your phone, ipad or a computer. I absolutely love it.

Game Changer

Natman1986 on

I’ve been running a dayhome for over 5 years and have tested many forms of communication, reporting and recording information in that time. I’ve used paid apps, paper, emails, Facebook and texts. I love that this app has everything you could ever need and that you can personalize it. I’ve added foods we eat regularly and it minimizes my time in the app. I like how quick it can be when it’s running properly. My parents love that they can keep up throughout the day. They love the accountability it creates and the communication it offers, so they know what’s happening in their child’s 10 hours away from them. ❤️ I do, however, hope they can add a minor adjustment. In other apps, they enable you to check multiple children in and adjust the time they arrived rather than putting the current time stamp. I run a full dayhome and sometimes am not able to update things immediately, so if I would be able to check in my set of siblings registering at 7:23 when it’s currently 7:35, that would make the app so much faster for me. Otherwise I check them in, and then need to edit each check in on each profile, and it wastes time.

Perfect for Dayhome.

Love it!

My daycare uses Bright Wheel to keep us updated live throughout the the day. I now know what my kids are learning, how much they've eaten, how long their naps are and more. But the best part of my day is seeing pictures of them learning, playing and having fun. Bright Wheel has made our lives better. I can rest assured that we've made the best childcare choices for our family. Thank you Bright Wheel!

Great program! But sadly when signing up for invoices and payments it is only set up for US no option for Canada....

No access

amylovesmusic on

The only thing on this app is a signup page, and they never let you access it. Looks like a great app but they don't let anyone use it. Stay away!
