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.

Class for Zoom is great for anyone trying to add a bunch of quality-of-life improvements to their zoom experience, especially for meetings with one main arbiter and many listeners. On the other hand, I think if you are looking for features more suited to group meetings, then there are likely other software products that would fit that niche better. Most of the features here are more targeted to teacher/student interactions.

Brightwheel does much more for the preschool level than FACTS does. The creators of this app know early childhood. The company also provides helpful webinars that are unrelated to their software, such as staff retention or ways to market. They understand the business of early childhood and exist to make the lives of providers easier.
