We Love Communication

Communication is vital to successful childcare, and Kids Crossing wants to communicate with parents. Brightwheel is our primary source of parent-teacher communication, and parents can message teachers through the Brightwheel app throughout the day. Teachers are available to talk in person at pick up and drop off or you are welcome to schedule a meeting.
