What keeps people on Brightwheel:It moves real money
The checker split your own version of Brightwheel into its key parts and sorted each one.
Child check-ins
Vibecode builds the attendance screen, with Vibecode Cloud saving arrival and pickup times.
Needs setup
Parent messaging
Use Vibecode Cloud accounts and a database for private conversations between staff and each child's parents.
Needs setup
Daily reports
Staff can record meals, naps and activities, then share reports with the right family through Vibecode Cloud.
Needs setup
Childcare billing
Connect your own Stripe account so the app can show bills and accept payments for childcare services.
Needs setup
Staff and family access
Use Vibecode Cloud login and access rules so staff manage their center and parents see only their own children.
Needs setup
A web app fits the center's office computer and lets parents check updates from their phone browser.
Plan ahead: Children's records need strict privacy, so test family access rules with dummy accounts before adding real children or messages.
Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build a web app for one childcare center's staff and parents. The main staff screen should show a classroom roster with each child's attendance status and clear check-in and check-out buttons. Tapping a child should open a daily report where staff can record meals, naps and activities. Add a parent view that shows their child's report and a message inbox where they can open a conversation and send a sample reply. Use realistic sample children, reports and conversations, with no real personal information or connected services yet. Make it calm and easy to read, with soft green colors, large buttons and layouts that work on phones and office computers.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: a classroom roster with check-in and check-out buttons; daily reports for meals, naps and activities; a parent message inbox using sample conversations. Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Brightwheel, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Stripe account (fees per payment).
Brightwheel gives families the system their childcare center already uses, established tuition payment processing, and a team that helps centers run it. A version you build yourself won't have these: your center's existing Brightwheel community; Brightwheel's tuition payment partners; childcare onboarding and support team.
