95% Reduction in Manual Work. 2X More Focus on Growth

Meet Starbright Edutainment

Starbright Edutainment, led by Director Alison Victoria Thackray, is an early childhood center in Bandung with a strong focus on structured learning and engaging after-school programs. They follow a play-based methodology aligned with the UK Early Childhood Development Goals. With 30 students and plans to expand to 100, Alison needed a smarter way to manage operations as the workload began to pile up.

Challenges and Pain Points

Starbright struggled with manual scheduling, paper-based attendance, and scattered communication through spreadsheets and WhatsApp. Tracking student assessments was time-consuming, and parents rarely got timely updates. With growth on the horizon, Alison knew she needed a better system.

How illumine Transformed Starbright Edutainment

Alison discovered illumine through Facebook. At the time, she was only aware of basic parent communication apps—not full platforms that could manage everything in one place. With illumine, Alison took a bold step toward automation and better efficiency. The results were game-changing.

AI-Powered Student Assessments

illumine’s AI-powered observations help teachers instantly record observations while maintaining Starbright’s brand tone and saving hours of manual work. Starbright further improved their assessments process by creating customizable templates for June and December terms, along with automated final reports. Parents stay informed with real-time, multilingual updates with AI powered translations.

Better Attendance Management

illumine centralized all daily operations. The biggest win was the contactless digital attendance which saved 5+ hours each week for teachers. With the QR and kiosk-based attendance, Starbright ensured zero misses and greater security for children. Now, everything runs faster, smoother, and in one place.
