Likelihood to Recommend	brightwheel 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. Incentivized HD Heidi de la Motte Preschool Director Read full review	Follett The self-service nature and the ability for faculty to recommend and search for texts and resources but the adoption process is not well integrated. The user-friendliness of the process forces the students to then go to a third party instead of staying within the ecosystem. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Cons	brightwheel 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	Follett Integration into Brightspace is plagued with issues. Search and selection doesn't integrate into the ordering process very well. Not a very smooth user experience with student and faculty selection. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	brightwheel 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. Incentivized HD Heidi de la Motte Preschool Director Read full review	Follett No answers on this topic
