One app for your child's whole day

Children's Academy runs on Brightwheel, the #1 app in early education — so photos, messages, check-in, tuition, and receipts all live in one secure place you already have in your pocket.

Everything In One Place

What families do in Brightwheel

Live daily feed

Photos and videos as they happen, plus meal, nap, and activity updates from your child's teacher throughout the day.

Secure messaging

Message your child's classroom or the front office directly — no lost paper notes, no phone tag.

Tuition & autopay

Pay weekly tuition by card or bank transfer, set up autopay once, and never think about it again.

Receipts & tax statements

Every payment is saved automatically. Download receipts and year-end statements for taxes, FSA, and dependent-care accounts.

Digital check-in

Secure drop-off and pick-up with digital signatures, and approved-pickup management for grandparents and sitters.

Calendar & reminders

Center closures, classroom events, and reminders — pushed straight to your phone so nothing sneaks up on you.

Example of a Brightwheel daily feed.

How do I pay tuition?

Through Brightwheel — by card or bank transfer, one-time or autopay. Every payment generates a receipt automatically, saved to your account.

How do I get receipts for my FSA or dependent-care account?

Open Brightwheel → Payments → download any receipt or your year-end statement. Need something custom for your provider? Email your campus director and we'll prepare it.

I have a billing question or need a refund — who do I talk to?

Reach out to your campus director by Brightwheel message or email. Refunds and credits are handled directly through Brightwheel billing, so they appear right in your payment history.

Where do staff sign in?

Staff use the same sign-in page: schools.mybrightwheel.com/sign-in.
