About this app

My Bright Day is a tool for parents and guardians of children in Bright Horizons child care centers. You will receive real-time updates about how your child is doing and what they are learning to help you stay connected. Find all the information you need – naptimes, diaper changes, photos, and documentation on your child’s development – right at your fingertips.

HELP TEACHERS PLAN YOUR CHILD’S DAY
Each morning, you can share important notes about your child’s day before arrival (like how well your child slept or whether they finished breakfast) to help your child’s teacher provide the best possible care.

COMPLETE A DAILY HEALTH CHECK
Help keep the classroom safe by answering a few questions each morning about potential symptoms of, and exposure to, COVID-19.

GET REAL TIME UPDATES
A timeline view lets you see your child’s naptimes, meals, and other care events as the day goes on. A group view lets you see care events grouped by type so that you can quickly see a summary of all naps, meals etc. You’ll also receive developmental observations from your child’s teachers about how your child is learning, growing, playing, and developing new skills. Your child’s care is our first priority, so updates are made as time allows throughout the day.

SAVE SPECIAL MOMENTS AND MEMORIES
Get photos and videos of your child’s day in class and access them at any time in the Memories section—you can also save your favorites to your phone or tablet.

MAKE ARRIVAL AND PICK-UP QUICK AND EASY
Set an ETA within the app to let your child’s teachers know when you’ll be at the center for morning arrival or afternoon pickup. This helps teachers plan and ensure that arrival and pickup go as smoothly as possible!

RECEIVE IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Calendar reminders will help you stay up to date on center events, classroom activities, due dates, and supplies to bring in for your child.

GET CAUGHT UP WITH THE DAILY REPORT
If you can’t check the app regularly, read the daily report – a summary of all the care events, developmental observations, and notes that were entered for your child that day. The daily report will be available in the app after you check out of the center, so you can catch up on your child’s day when it works for you.

Ratings and reviews

I like the concept of this app but I find it very frustrating to use arrival notes. If you enter data for more than one category (meals & bathroom) one category won't save, so you have to enter each category individually. If you need to make an edit, especially in the notes, the app will just delete half of what you typed/voiced while typing it, or it will appear to have saved and then not. This is very frustrating for a busy parent. It takes sometimes 10min to add info that should take 1-2min.

Lately, the app has been very glitchy and gets hung up. It's not possible to scroll the photos anymore as it gets caught up. This used to not be an issue. I get a notification that the lesson plan is available but it is never actually in the app. The lunch schedules are off by a week. It was better before the most recent update.

This app is so bad comparing to other daycare apps (procare, tadpoles) I've used in the past. The photos from teachers don't appear on the app, but just some broken links instead. It lacks the very important function such as sending messages to the class teacher directly, when you have questions or concerns. Please improve this app asap
