Family Communications

PHILOSOPHY

Family Communications

Every child who joins our centre brings their own unique experiences and background, and we take the time to truly understand and respect this. We believe it’s so important for children to feel a strong connection between home and the centre, especially during these early years.

At Discovery at Play, we see our families as part of our extended community, and we feel genuinely grateful to be trusted with your child’s care. Open and honest communication is very important to us. We’ll keep you connected with regular updates on your child’s development and share special moments from their day.

We also love welcoming families into the learning journey and encourage you to be involved in your child’s experience with us.

How We Do It

At Discovery at Play, we use the OWNA app to help families stay connected and involved in their child’s day. The app is a simple and easy way to keep up to date, including:

  • Updates on your child’s day, including meals and activities
  • Sharing your child’s learning and development journey
  • Easy communication between families and educators for daily handovers and any needs
  • Photos, observations and special moments from the day
  • Helping FIFO parents and extended family stay connected
  • Promoting conversation with children about their learning

We also host parent nights, where families are invited into the Centre to connect with educators and get to know other families in our community.
