The first step to getting started on brightwheel is to set up rooms. Rooms are the best way to organize students, staff, and learning curriculum, and filter reports and billing! You can organize rooms in various ways, such as by physical classroom, age group, or even as one large room.

Administrators and managers can create rooms using either the web or mobile app. Once rooms are added, you can then create and assign student and staff profiles to them.


Create a room

When creating a room on the web, providers can set a custom age range, maximum capacity, and the desired student to staff ratio for that room. These details are visible for providers from the Rooms page and are for your information only.

On the Web

  1. Log in on the web

  2. Click My School > Rooms in the sidebar menu

  3. Select + New Room, enter room details, then hit Create Room

On the App

  1. Log in on the mobile app

  2. From the Administrator Home screen, tap School Profile

  3. Tap the Rooms tile (top left), then the + plus button (top right)

  4. Enter the room name, then hit Create
