About Brightwheel
Brightwheel is the leading all-in-one platform for early childhood programs, preschools, and child-care centres, combining family communication, daily reports (meals, naps, diapers, activities), sign-in/out, billing and tuition, attendance, ratios, lesson planning, and staff scheduling. Parents get real-time photos, videos, and updates throughout the day via the Brightwheel app, and centres get a single back-office system that replaces paper sign-in sheets and separate billing software. Used by 100,000+ early childhood programs across the US. Free core tier for educators; premium plans add billing, photo sharing, and admin features.
