Brightwheel

Brightwheel is a childcare management app that allows for seamless communication between our school and our families. This is the best and easiest way to share information with each other, such as upcoming school events, late drop-offs or early pick-ups, or just general communication throughout the day. Additionally, parents/guardians will receive monthly tuition invoices via the app. Payers can easily set up payment by adding bank account or credit card information and can set up auto-pay, if desired. Payers are still able to pay with a check, but all invoices and charges will be sent through Brightwheel. Once a parent/guardian has an account with the app, they will be assigned a unique check-in/out code to be used at drop-off and pick-up. For help with using Brightwheel, please reach out to the JPC Brightwheel Administrator.

First Day Tips

Your child is likely to be as excited and apprehensive as you are about entering preschool on the first day.  Make the transition easier with some advance preparation.  Talk about what your child is likely to find as school:  other children, toys, art materials, books, pleasant surroundings, and most importantly, caring adults.

List of Materials

Please bring the following materials the first week of school:

  1. You will receive a list of school supplies to bring for the whole school.
  2. Extra clothes:  Pack a set of seasonally appropriate clothing, with extra pairs of socks and underwear as well to leave a school.  Please mark the clothing with your child’s name. Don’t forget to replace once the seasons change!
  3. Diaper Bag:  Please check for adequate supplies of diapers and wipes.  Staff will also let you know when supplies are running low.
