Brightwheel gets an A+ for parent satisfaction. A huge piece families love is how brightwheel brings them into the room. We get so many compliments.

Brightwheel’s customer service is phenomenal. I receive quick answers, and I always tell people to write in to Support. They are so informative.

We were the first ones to use brightwheel in our town. Now, every other center has adopted it as their software. It is an amazing all-in-one tool… Worth every penny!

My staff love attending brightwheel webinars. They’re able to learn how to use the system to its fullest potential. I think we are using every single feature on the platform!
