Erin and her husband, Paul, started their childcare business primarily because the need in their town, Safford, AZ, was so great. Before Kidd Palace opened, families were posting on Facebook asking strangers to watch their children.

With their child care, Erin and Paul not only serve an essential need but they go above and beyond providing care beginning at 4am so employees at the local mine can make it to the train on time for their shifts.

Brightwheel is exactly what they were looking for

As a startup business, Erin and Paul started scrappily with pen and paper processes and cash payments for tuition. Erin had a finance career before Kidd Palace, so she was very aware they needed software to streamline their operations. 

When they came across brightwheel, they knew they found the perfect platform because everything from student records for licensing to billing to parent messaging could be managed in one place.

Experience Curriculum deepened brightwheel’s impact by saving Erin time and money

When brightwheel announced it’s new integrated Experience Curriculum offering, Erin immediately signed up. Right away, she saved 15 hours each week and hundreds of dollars each month on curriculum and learning activities.

Before, I’d spend 4-5 hours each day creating lesson plans and buying materials. Now, I only spend 4-5 hours a week. And I am very particular.

Owner, Kidd Palace

Before Experience Curriculum, Erin spent about $500-$600 monthly on learning resources, printer ink, and materials. She now pays a small fraction of that, and she loves that the materials she receives are high quality because they will last for years to come. When she sourced her own materials, she had a very hard time finding the level of quality that she now has with Experience Curriculum.

The curriculum has been a stress-reliever for teachers

Now that all her curriculum is preloaded into brightwheel and organized by each day of the week, Erin’s staff feel so much more stress-free and ready to conquer the week. They can still easily drag and drop activities to customize their schedule, so teachers can be creative in the way they order and present the material.

It’s a very flexible curriculum. You still need to be that Pinterest person – that’s not going to go away.
