United States onlyOur Mission and Opportunity
Early education is one of the greatest determinants of childhood outcomes, is a must for working families, and has a lasting social and economic impact. Brightwheel’s vision is to enable high quality early education for every child — by giving teachers meaningfully more time with students each day, engaging parents in the development of their kids, and supporting the small businesses that make up the backbone of the $175 billion early education market. Brightwheel is the most loved technology brand in early education globally, trusted by thousands of educators and millions of families.

We celebrate diversity in all forms because it allows our team and the communities we serve to reach their full potential and do their best work.

They own the PL and work in close collaboration with Sales, Customer Success, and Product leadership to turn strategy into execution.
