Running an in-home childcare program is more than just a job—it’s a personal mission. You’re caring for children in a warm, home-based environment, balancing teaching, nurturing, and business tasks all under one roof. Brightwheel’s in-home childcare software is designed to support providers like you in every aspect of your daily work. Here’s how brightwheel helps in-home providers thrive:

Save hours each week on paperwork
Manual paperwork can eat up precious hours. Brightwheel’s digital tools eliminate the clutter of paper sign-in sheets, daily reports, and billing records. Record activities, log meals, track naps, and manage attendance—all with just a few taps on your phone or tablet. Spend less time on administrative tasks and more time focused on engaging with children.

Enhance communication with families
Families love knowing what’s happening while their child is in your care. Brightwheel allows you to share real-time updates, photos, and messages directly through the app. Daily reports highlight each child’s activities, meals, moods, and milestones, giving families peace of mind and reinforcing your professional reputation.

Simplify billing and payments
Chasing payments is one of the biggest stressors for in-home childcare providers. Brightwheel simplifies your finances by offering automated invoicing, customizable billing schedules, and secure online payments. Families can pay conveniently through the app, reducing late payments and improving your cash flow.

Stay organized and compliant
Licensing and compliance can be complex, even for small programs. Brightwheel helps you keep meticulous records that meet state requirements, including attendance logs, incident reports, and child profiles. When it’s time for an inspection or audit, you’ll have all your documentation organized and easily accessible.
