I love the Brightwheel app. It allows me to be informed on what is going on in my child’s classroom throughout the day. I truly appreciate the teacher’s diligence in providing me with timely updates and even a few pictures. Any concerns I have ever had, have been met with prompt responses and immediate correction. The director, Ms. Jacqueline is one of the most caring and involved people I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with.
