If you are currently using Brightwheel, this guide shows you exactly how to export your data and import it into Neztio. The process takes about 30 minutes for most centers.
Export from Brightwheel
- 1Log in to your Brightwheel admin account.
- 2Navigate to Manage > Export Data.
- 3Download the Children CSV file.
- 4Save the file to your computer.
Import to Neztio
- 1Go to the Import section in Neztio.
- 2Upload your Brightwheel CSV file.
- 3Neztio auto-detects Brightwheel as the source and maps fields automatically. Review the mapping and confidence scores.
- 4Preview the data and resolve any validation issues.
- 5Click Import to create the records.
What Transfers
- Child profiles (name, date of birth, gender, allergies, medical notes)
- Family contacts (guardian name, email, phone)
- Classroom assignments (room name)
Brightwheel does not include photos, daily activity logs, or message history in their data export. These items cannot be migrated automatically.
Run both Brightwheel and Neztio in parallel for one week before fully switching. This lets you verify that all data transferred correctly and gives staff time to get comfortable with Neztio.
