OWNA Family Communication Tool
At Jacaranda Early Education, we believe strong communication between families and educators is an important part of every child’s early learning journey. That’s why we use OWNA - a secure, easy-to-use childcare app that helps families stay connected with their child’s care, learning and development throughout the day.
Whether you’re at work, running errands or managing a busy family schedule, OWNA gives you a convenient way to stay informed and involved from your phone or computer.

A Simple Way to Stay Connected
We understand that modern family life can be busy and demanding. Parents are often balancing work, appointments, school drop-offs and many other responsibilities. While children benefit from developing independence at daycare, families also want reassurance and regular communication.
OWNA helps create that balance by making it easier to stay connected without needing to be physically present at the centre. Through the app, families can check in on their child’s day, review updates and communicate with educators at a time that suits them.
What Is OWNA?
OWNA is an all-in-one digital platform used by our educators to manage communication, learning documentation and day-to-day childcare administration.
Each enrolled child has a secure private profile. Once your child joins Jacaranda Early Education, you will receive an invitation to create your free OWNA account and connect to your child’s profile.
Throughout the day, educators may share:
- Photos and learning moments
- Daily routine updates
- Meal and sleep information
- Learning stories and observations
- Important announcements and reminders
This allows families to remain actively involved in their child’s early learning experience while gaining a better understanding of what happens throughout the day at our Gold Coast childcare centre.
Supporting Your Child’s Learning and Development
OWNA gives families valuable insight into how children learn, grow and develop over time. You can see how activities and experiences at the centre connect to early learning outcomes and support your child’s development.
The platform also allows parents to share important information about their child’s:
- Interests and hobbies
- Routines and preferences
- Developmental needs
- Changes at home
- Health or wellbeing updates
This ongoing communication helps our educators personalise learning experiences and provide responsive, individualised care.
Supporting Children With Additional Needs
For children with additional or special needs, clear communication between families, educators and support professionals is especially important.
OWNA helps streamline communication by allowing families to share updates, strategies and specialist recommendations directly with educators. This helps everyone stay aligned and supports greater consistency in care, routines and learning approaches.
Experience Connected, Collaborative Care
At Jacaranda Early Education, we are committed to creating a welcoming, supportive and connected environment for every family. Using OWNA helps us strengthen communication and keep families involved in their child’s early education journey.
