Beginnings and Beyond has 3 childcare centres in the mid to southern Delaware area providing early childcare and wrap around care for infants and school age children. They employ approximately 75 employees.
For any communication between staff and parents, Beginnings and Beyond use Bright Wheel. However, when they tried to use this platform for internal communication, they realized it wasn’t as competent.
Danielle Harrison, owner of Beginnings and Beyond, researched possible communication solutions for months and even considered asking a developer to create something bespoke to solve their communication challenges.
She had found all other providers were either too hard to use or too simple in their functionality. Luckily, before going down the development route, she came across OurPeople whilst searching on the internet and realized she had found her solution.
Solution
Multitude of Functions
One of the elements that attracted her from the start was the multitude of functions on offer with OurPeople, rather than just messaging.
From day one every employee has been using it daily, starting from the management team and filtering through to all levels of staff.
The admin team use it to message staff and love the fact they know everyone gets the messages. The ability to add all their documents has been really helpful and they find that part of the functionality very easy to use.

Key stats
“OurPeople is affordable and worth it. It has so many components that you might not realise you need. I wouldn’t move away from it now. It is easy to use, especially for those that aren’t that good with tech. The customer support is awesome. Any question we have gets answered. Never feels like I don’t get a response. It’s huge.”
