User Testimonials
	brightwheel	Clever
Likelihood to Recommend	Any preschool can benefit from brightwheel, no matter the size. Brightwheel is also excellent for billing, which is especially helpful for schools that do not have other databases and billing systems. Because our school is a PS-12, it is a little cumbersome to have brightwheel along with another management system that we use school-wide. It would be nice to have a separate price point that does not include the things that another database system does for schools that are required to use what the older grades also use.

Whether a large or small district, it is worth the investment to help increase student access to technology. Incentivized Lisa Marie Gonzales, Ed.D. Chief Business Officer Read full review

Cons	Offering a price point that does not include billing. Allowing more freedom of uploading own documents. Incentivized HD Heidi de la Motte Preschool Director Read full review	It could use more ways to be able to log in besides just Clever and Google. I wish I could show my students what they see on my board and not mine. Could use more ways to add content. Incentivized Sherby Gully Teacher Read full review
