All-in-one childcare and preschool management app
Brightwheel is an all-in-one childcare and preschool management platform that connects providers and families in one app. It combines daily operations, family communication, and billing so childcare centers, preschools, and home daycares can run their programs and keep parents informed without juggling separate tools.
The platform covers digital check-in and attendance, daily reports and photo updates, staff and ratio tracking, learning and assessment, and integrated billing with online tuition payments. A free tier covers core communication and check-in, while paid Premium tiers add billing, admissions, and expanded management features.
Brightwheel serves childcare centers, preschools, and family child care programs that want a modern, mobile-first system parents actually enjoy using. Its blend of family engagement and back-office management makes it one of the most widely adopted platforms in early education.
