brightwheel – Bewertungsseite 4

Vorteile

What I like most about brightwheel is my kids go to daycare and it updates me with every move and thing they do

Nachteile

How u can’t see in the moment and see what’s happening at the time without asking

Vorteile

This is convenient software from a parent's perspective. It's great to be able to intuitively check your child's progress. Smooth communication with teachers is also an advantage.

Nachteile

I didn't feel any inconvenience in using it, but when I previously contacted customer service, the response was a bit slow.

Vorteile

I like the constant communication from my child's teachers in the app. I love receiving photos and being able to react to them. It makes me feel engaged.

Nachteile

I am unable to message my child's teachers directly. Every message I send goes to all teachers and administrators. Sometimes, I have a simple question (like, did my child have a potty accident), that seems silly to ask everyone in administration.

Vorteile

I love that I can see a step by step play of my childs day. I love that there is communication right there in the app so I don't have to pick up the phone if it is a busy day.

Nachteile

I do not like that we still have to answer the covid questions.

Vorteile

Brightwheel seems to be Convenient, which makes my day to day duties easier.

Nachteile

Working with with Brightwheel will make more time for other hands on activies.

Vorteile

I loved how everything was all in one spot for everyone, so it made it easy to access everything.

Nachteile

there was nothing we did not like on brightwheel as everything was very easy to use and straight to the point.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to see a schedule of what's going on with your child. You see in a simple timeline view on the important parts of your child's day (eating, bathroom/diaper changes, etc). I'm sure there can be a more detailed listing of what they're doing, but most parents don't need to see that notification. You can also receive critical communications from their teachers/admin on important announcements. It accomplishes the main things I need, which is a timeline of my kid's feedings/changings, teacher communication, and electronic payments.

Nachteile

The app has the potential to do more. I understand that they need to keep it stable and simple to work with their teachers, so they can't offer too much. I don't know about the admin side of managing the app, but it's pretty basic for the user.

Vorteile

Easy to use. Makes checking my child into daycare easy

Nachteile

Nothing so far. It's been great to work with.

Vorteile

I love that you can see pictures updates what they ate that day, if they napped upcoming events it's an easy way to be so involved

Nachteile

As long as they remember to update it then no

Vorteile

The app was easy to work through and navigate

Nachteile

The app never updated when I needed information about my child

Vorteile

Love Brightwheel its easy to use for families and Staff. Families love to track their children and pay using Brightwheel

Nachteile

The price increase has caught me by surprise. I used this since 2014 ish and at that time the prices has changed

Vorteile

The products are modern and of good quality, try it.

Nachteile

It could be more explanatory to users who don't have much experience with the product

Vorteile

Ability to receive real time information.

Nachteile

So far I have not found any cons to this application.

Vorteile

How to send pictures and add parents and see all the kiddos

Nachteile

Was to expensive and was hard to use to many apps

Vorteile

The cost of brightwheel is within our daycare buget. The parents love communecating with teachers and staff at the center.

Nachteile

so far nothing we do not like. the staff and parents all seem to enjoy using brighwheel.

Vorteile

How proficient and easy it is to control and manage daily

Nachteile

I have no cons about Brightwheel. Brightwheel is very useful.

Vorteile

Brightwheel is great for receiving photos of your child, while they are at daycare, etc. Especially considering that there are often some events and outings at Daycare, and you get to see how your child is enjoying them.

Nachteile

Not a complaint, but a huge plus would have been facial recognition (I.e. Telling the system which one is your child), and only seeing photos with the child.
But this probably would be to complicated.

Vorteile

I enjoyed keeping up to date with all of my daughter's activities.

Nachteile

I wish I was able to upload photos into the chat.

Vorteile

Not having to use so much paper now. Everyone has what I send out and nothing gets misplaced. And the price is very, very inexpensive!! That was a big plus for me!

Nachteile

Not being able to actually speak with someone live when I have a question. A lot of people like texting, but when I have an issue I need resolved quickly, I want to actually speak with someone. I guess this is where modern technology comes to play . I do not like robotic response. There is a 2h response turnaround., but everyone has seemed to be friendly.

Vorteile

Brightwheel was easy to access on my cell phone which is a huge bonus for me.

Nachteile

Brightwheel was fine to use. No real problems. Our daycare ended up switching to HiMama which is a bit more user friendly for communication.

Vorteile

We love how easy it is to talk to those caring for our child. The features it allows to know what’s going on at my child’s school are reassuring and helpful. I can contact caretakers so easily and be assured I haven’t forgotten anything!

Nachteile

I can’t think of anything I don’t like about the app. I found it easy to navigate and learn at first.

Vorteile

The app is easy to use to pay weekly invoices and also pay bi-weekly or monthly if needed.

Nachteile

When app updates are pushed through, the updates are not well announced or explained.

Vorteile

The user interface is easy to understand. It was very convenient in communicating with my child's caretakers during aftercare.

Nachteile

No issues. The program was lite and functioned as expected.

Vorteile

It is very user friendly. I was able to master it in a short time.

Nachteile

There was a pretty high cost compared to some other management software.

Vorteile

Es una plataforma muy eficaz para la administracion de cuidado adecuado infantil y educacion.Permite la comunicacion con los padres o tutores del infante,esta plataforma es muy buena para la comunicacion y cuidado,me parece exelente

Nachteile

No tengo ninguna queja de esta plataforma ya que me a funcionado bastante bien

Vorteile

Brightwheel is an software platform designed to streamline operations for early childhood education programs. It offers tools for managing administrative tasks, communication with parents, and classroom activities

Nachteile

subscription fees is the thing which may be least liked sometime

Vorteile

As I used Brightwheel for 2 years or more. The more knowledge that I gain and the communication that I had with the parents were outstanding and direct. Brightwheel allows you to update information and view wonderful progress.

Nachteile

The app should remind parents to update their child's photo. Other than that, it's great!

Vorteile

Features, agents, flexibility , hospitality,

Nachteile

Automatic payment system is to costly , especially since we serve single parents families , who are on a budget

Vorteile

I absolutely love this. It helps me keep up with my grandson while they’re at daycare. I can always jump in and see what’s going on and it’s definitely parents and grandparents friendly.

Nachteile

I haven’t had any problems with it since we download it. My daughter and her husband have never had any problems so as far as I’m concerned is just a great tool.

Vorteile

I work for an accounting firm and some of our clients use brightwheel. It has made reporting and working with their finances easy!

Nachteile

No cons from my experience, though I don't have experience beyond the financial aspect

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to contact parents, and to look up information on a student . I love how easy it is to see if a student has an outstanding balance. I love having one place for everything.

Nachteile

I wish that there was a place for the entire class to talk. (Like FB) So they could talk with each other about a topic. I wish that it was easier to set up/change billing plan without having to delete. I wish there was a homepage where it has our school logo on etc. on the app and the parents could click on things to see/read. I always feel like I am emailing parents on it. I don't know if they actually see it. It would be nice if it would let me know it was seen!

Vorteile

What I liked most about bright wheel was the quick notifications.

Nachteile

What I liked least was the difficulty navigating the app.

Vorteile

We can communicate quickly with parents. We can post calendars and newslettersWe can capture the day with pictures.The ease of check-in and check-out.

Nachteile

Notification when parents post a picture or other activity.Being able to communicate privately with individual parents.Being able to communicate more easily with customer support.

Vorteile

The things I like about this is the staff tracking, student tracking and enrollment, messaging staff and parents and so much more

Nachteile

Sometimes when features are updated is is difficult to figure out how to find or use them after they have been updated . I feel like a small tutitorial to show us the new improved feature so we are not wasting time trying to figure it out.

Vorteile

I love How organized, streamlined and easy this program is. I can communicate with clients easily on a safe and convenient platform. Parents really enjoy it

Nachteile

I have no issues as of now with this program.

Vorteile

How inclusive it is for billing, parent communication, newsletters, reports, time cards etc.

Nachteile

The confusion on messaging. I also do not like that when you pull a classroom list up you have to have any and all children who are able to go in that room. When you combine classrooms you have to be able to move children, however, the purpose of a homeroom should be that the easy glance list shows you the students who are in there as their homeroom or that are signed into that classroom at that time.

Vorteile

The product was fairly easy to use and the process integration took no time to get familiar with.

Nachteile

Like any and all systems there is always going to be that one flaw but this is very minor and I would have to say overall the system is great, however it could allow more freedom of uploading our own documents.

Vorteile

I like to show my parents how the day is progressing

Nachteile

Trying to learn and navigate the billing side has been a bit tough.

Vorteile

I love that everything is in this app. Billing, notes from teachers, pictures of my kids daily activities, everything!! Lets you know when your child has been checked in and out.

Nachteile

Nothing! Wish everyone would use this app more often

Vorteile

Brightwheel has been a great blessing to our center. Not only does the staff love it but our parents do too. It makes it so simple and easy to use. The parents like being able to get updates and pictures plus they seem to be paying on time with the app since it sends out invoices and reminders.

Nachteile

I don't have anything I don't like about brightwheel. It is simple to use and we all really enjoy it.

Vorteile

The functionality of the platform is exceptional because I can quickly and easily track attendance and send messages, plan activities, and send progress reports.

Nachteile

I really would like to have more customization options and reporting formats to be able to more effectively convey development and achievements.

Vorteile

I loved all of the features on Brightwheel to be honest. The staff is able to send out important information to everyone to keep us in the loop on events/updates of the daycare. I am able to message a staff member individually or message all of the staff to ensure a quick response. I love getting notifications about what my child is eating, how much they are eating, bathroom habits, and picture updates! Puts this momma heart at ease while at work. The checking in and checking out my child feature is super easy to do with just a 4 digit pin that I can do from the app or the iPad at the daycare and it also alerts me through the app when my child is checked in and checked out ensuring their safety. Payment information and sending documents through the app makes it a one stop shop for pure convenience.

Nachteile

I cannot think of anything the app needs to change or update. It is phenomenal.

Vorteile

This cloud based site enables me to login to the parent portal and get up to date progress reports on my children. Plus the check-in/out feature makes me feel they are safer in case of any emergencies that might pop up, it will be easy for them to print out who is in the building for head counts. I am always interested in what my child is doing and getting up-to-date notifications during the day brings a smile to my face.

Nachteile

My child has allergies and although they keep good track of this knowledge I worry that they could miss him because they only have the ability to print out individual allergy reports. I think it would be better if they could have a selection of reports. Like class reports or specific age reports that have allergies or other categories such as asthma, or stomach issues. (Stuff like that). It would also be time/paper saving if my account could be combine listing all my charges for multiple children instead of the report running for each specific child, and allow me to pay in advance since I am a teacher and only get paid once a month.

Vorteile

The features were cool, the layout was great

Nachteile

The monthly price and the limitation on designing

Vorteile

I like getting live updates of my son’s naps, meals, diaper changes. It gives peace of mind and connection to know he is being well cared for.

Nachteile

The message tool has limited options, I think it could be designed a bit better.

Vorteile

Cannot recommend this app more. Love how easy it is to use and to communicate between parents and staff.

Nachteile

Can be glitchy every now and then but mostly don’t have an issue.

Vorteile

My kids' daycare uses brightwheel, and I love it. I get to see them whenever I want by just picking up my phone and viewing the video feed in their classrooms. I also enjoy getting updates about how they are doing.

Nachteile

There is nothing negative to say about this app.

Vorteile

Brightwheel provides an easy way to get photos, videos, status updates, and messages from my kids teachers on their day.

Nachteile

Only issue I have is that the notifications don't clear on mobile after I check the app. Update that issue so that they automatically mark as read when activated and this is the perfect app for me.

Vorteile

I love that I am able to sign my kids in and out with ease and I don’t have to worry about any papers, going inside the daycare or anything of that nature.

Nachteile

The one thing I like the least would be the enrollment option as many daycares have part applications and don’t make you go through the app itself.

Vorteile

We love the billing feature, most of all

Nachteile

We haven't experienced the Cons yet. So far, so good.
