We’re excited to welcome you to brightwheel! Brightwheel is the fastest and easiest to use software in early education. It does still require an investment to get fully setup. The details below explain the steps to getting started and the timeline we recommend.
ADD ROOMS, STUDENTS & PARENTS [2 days before onboarding call]
ACTIVATE BILLING TOOL [2 days before onboarding call]
- Enter your deposit account information to get started on the brightwheel billing and invoicing tool. To do so enter your information under Activate Account in the Billing tab. Check out our Billing Getting Started video here.
ONBOARDING CALL [7-10 days before launch] (optional, Premium customers only)
- Qualified premium customers get a personal onboarding session with an experienced onboarding coach. Not sure what you need for your onboarding session? See our Onboarding Call Prep Guide.
INVITE & TRAIN STAFF [5-8 days before launch]
- Invite your staff to brightwheel and have them watch our staff training video to familiarize themselves with the app and practice logging activities using the demo room.
INVITE PARENTS [3-7 days before launch]
- If you have already added parents to brightwheel in prior steps, you can officially invite them in one easy step: just click “Invite All” on the Parents page. This will send each parent a personal email or text message from brightwheel. You can also send an optional email using the introduction email draft we have prepared. If you have not yet added parents, you can add and invite them from the same Parents page.
LAUNCH DATE

STATUS CHECK [3-5 days after launch]
