Daily Connection

​

For children 24 months and younger, we use an extremely informative free mobile app called Brightwheel to keep parents up to date with their child's day. As soon as an event is created, it is immediately synchronized on each parents account. The parents and staff has access to the information in real time. You will receive notifications of what time your child ate, what they ate, diaper changes, incidents, milestones, etc. We can also send parents pictures, videos, and messages in real time. Parents and staff are able to check-in/check-out children as well. Payments and invoices are also made through the app, making it easy on the parents and the provider to have everything done in one place.
