Trusted by 4,000+ Childcare Centres Nationwide
Join thousands of providers and directors who use OWNA’s childcare management system every day to improve compliance, reduce costs, and grow their services.
- Parent App for Early Childhood Services
Build quality connections with families.
98% of early childhood services using OWNA experience an improvement in family engagement.
Families can see all important information about their child, from sleep times and routines, to meals and toileting.
Help parents keep up with what their child has been up to, and develop strong relationships through posting, messaging and commenting.
Families don't need to login to a separate app just to manage their CCS and accounts. They can manage direct debits and credit card payments, and view statements and invoices, all from within the app.
Simplify the family experience with just one login to see everything.
Ensure families fill out important forms, such as incident reports and excursion forms, and utilise custom forms to get updated information or feedback from families.

Signing up is easy! Just fill out this form and our onboarding team will be in touch with next steps.
We recommend 4-6 weeks to onboard. This will allow us to ensure your team are up-to-speed, and that you've successfully transitioned from your current software.
If you are ready to make the switch, we can do the whole onboarding process in as little as 5 days. It just depends on how quick you can get your data to us.
No. We don't lock our customers into contracts or do notice periods.
If we do our job properly and provide you with best-in-class software, we shouldn't need to lock you into lengthy contracts.
And if you decide that OWNA isn't for you, just let us know and we'll cancel your subscription from the end of your current invoice period.
We don't charge setup costs for onboarding.
The only fee you'll pay is your monthly subscription and an optional one-off charge of $399 to setup your enquiry, waitlist and enrolment forms which is optional (but recommended).
