No complaints. **Pros:** What I love most about brightwheel is that the whole set up is easy to navigate and my clients love how easy it is to use. **Cons:** The feature that I least like about brightwheel is that it is a little difficult to update your deposit account if you do happen to change banks. Jessica R. Lead Teacher Child Day Care Services, 11-50 employees Used the software for: 1-2 years ** Overall Rating 4.0 ** Ease of Use 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 Features 4.0 Value for Money 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 80% 8/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra October 29, 2024 "Pros and Cons" **Overall:** Overall, it's easy to use and has a very organized structure so you can see where things should be or how they should go, even if you haven't done that specific thing yet. **Pros:** I really like that you can save lesson plans from one year to the next. It makes it easier to see where the kids should typically be at at certain times of the year. The communication with the parents is really great too. It's easy to take pictures and attach them to lesson plans and send them to the parents. Messaging can be sent either from the lesson plan, from a photo or video, or from the messaging section, which is nice. And you can send to entire classrooms for announcements like our recent Halloween party. **Cons:** The assessment portion is difficult. It doesn't connect to the lesson plans, so when you take a picture of a lesson plan that has developmental goals/milestones on it, it doesn't automatically upload that photo and lesson plan to that kids' portfolio. And you have to input everything separately. Each kid, each photo, each goal, each section, each description (because again, it doesn't pull from the lesson plan descriptions, even when the photo is from a lesson plan that's in Brightwheel), it's just really time consuming. It's not clear how you make a template, or if that would even be helpful. And there aren't any example templates or template tutorials so you can see what that would look like. You can't send them to the parents either. Which kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. **Switched From:** [Procare Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/23486/Procare-Child-Care-Management/) **Reasons for Switching to brightwheel:** I'm told it was the board's decision. I have no idea why they decided on something different, though. [Read All 3255 Reviews](https://www.capterra.com/p/144060/brightwheel/reviews/) ## How should I be thinking about software pricing?
