Providers with multiple locations can easily group all of their schools and sites under a single brightwheel account. This allows you to effortlessly switch between locations without managing multiple logins. Grouping your locations makes it far more efficient to manage staff, run reports, and oversee all of your sites from one central place.


Set up a multi-site organization

Multi-site organizations simplify management by grouping multiple brightwheel accounts under one organization. This enables administrators and staff to easily switch between locations without managing separate login credentials.

✅ Only brightwheel Premium subscribers can group locations under a single brightwheel account instead of separate subscriptions for each location.

  1. Create a unique brightwheel school account for each location using a unique email address.
    💡 Many programs find it convenient to set up each location using the site director’s email address!

  2. Once each location has been created, reach out to brightwheel Support so we can help link the accounts together under one Organization. Make sure to provide the following information to our Support team:

    1. Each of the email addresses used to set up the accounts for each location

    2. Which administrator accounts should have multi-site access to all locations
