      We signed up with Brightwheel at the end of February 2023 and completed the sign-up process over the phone. The board of directors/owner were sitting in on the meeting and paid for the subscription over the phone with the bank checking account. The account number was spoken over the phone only by the owner and the person that signed ** up took down the information. However, a transcript was never sent to ** verifying the information that was sent. Brightwheel essentially jotted down the wrong account information and all of our parent payments were going to a different account. Almost $55,000 was deposited into this incorrect account. We asked ********************** to help ** track this money down and refund it. They refused and said all they can do is give ** a Trace ID number for the bank to find the money. Our bank does not find money with Trace ID numbers. ********************** has been terrible at finding a solution for ** or even returning the money.

      Very poor business practices. I purchased their monthly preschool curriculum Experience Early Learning. After multiple emails with ******************************* she confirmed that 1. they did not send part of my order 2. they dont have the missing items to send to me 3. its their policy to not refund anything. I will be contacting my credit card company for a refund.

      Hi *******, thank you for your feedback and were so sorry youve experienced this. Our June theme box inadvertently had a small number of missing items due to an operational issue. In response, we emailed all affected customers with an updated ****** plan and provided printable alternatives to ensure an engaging learning experience. We are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again.  We are also happy to issue you a refund. We will be reaching out to make this right for you!
