Childcare Assistance App

For anyone who works in the child care industry, there’s always lots to think about and lots to do. In fact, many people in the industry report that they often find themselves completely inundated with important tasks which they struggle to keep up with. Fortunately, more and more day-care centres and small home care businesses across Australia are starting to find practical solutions to the challenges they face with the help of child care assistance software

If the idea of child care software is a new one to you, you’re probably working at a centre which is very much in need of a permanent solution to a whole range of different issues related to administration, compliance management, data collection and storage, and parent communications. But the good news is that a solution is easier to come by than you may have previously expected.

With daycare assistance software, you’ll be able to completely revolutionise the way that your centre handles many of its most important responsibilities.

From making it easier for staff to record every time they feed, put to bed or change the nappy of a child, to enabling them to quickly access important documentation like medical records, incident reports and contact numbers, child care software is bound to immediately alleviate many of the problems faced at your centre on a day to day basis.

Choose OWNA for your Childcare Assistance App

There is plenty of choice when it comes to selecting the software that is right for your centre, but one thing is certain: the only way to guarantee that you’ll end up with the very best and most effective software is to choose a provider with a commitment to customisation and adaptability.

Here at OWNA, we’re proud to be such a provider. In fact, we were founded with the primary objective of filling a very significant gap in the child care software market by providing apps which prioritise customisation so that you can meet the specific needs and preferences of your families, educators and children.

We understand that each and every centre is slightly different and has different policies and procedures in place. That’s why we focus on creating features that can be tailored to your requirements, rather than expecting you to adapt to a standardised, generic piece of software.

After the demo, if you’re happy to proceed, we’ll get straight to work and give you your own login within 24hrs. From there, our onboarding team will work with you to set up your account in a way that works for your centre, your educators and your families.
