You can communicate your change on Brightwheel with an Admin message or email us at assistantdirectors@rrchildcare.com It is important to let administration know of any allergies, illnesses or medications that your child is taking. Medications cannot be left in the children’s bags and must be brought to the administration office. Please sign in and out of Brightwheel as you do now. It is important to sign in and out of Brightwheel, as this shows that your child is in attendance or has left for the day. While we do keep manual records of attendance for every child, oftentimes the Brightwheel app shows your child left well after we have closed. If you need assistance checking in or out, please see one of the directors. If you have any updated immunizations, change in pickups or contact information; please provide this information to the administration office. Please note that we will not release your child to anyone that is not on your authorized pick up list. If you need to make a change, please do so in writing.
