OWNA Child Care App Reviews & Product Details

There are multiple reasons OWNA is a beneficial app. Over my years in the Child Care Sector, I have used many other child care apps, all of which were quite glitchy, not user friendly and did not have everything all in one place like OWNA, so we used multiple software apps to ensure compliance. However, on OWNA, it's not just for educators to use for observations, programming etc.; OWNA has created an app that fits all the centre's requirements in one place! Admin, family accounts/invoices, CCS, attendances, enrolment forms, CRM, waitlist, QIP, staff reflections, staff and parent communication, children's daily information... the list goes on! Anything you can think of is on here; if it isn't, they have an excellent suggestion section that sends them your feedback immediately, and I have always received a swift reply. OWNA has made our transition smooth as we try to become a more environmentally sustainable centre, using little to no paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot of downsides; it can occasionally glitch or shut down unexpectedly. However, the OWNA team are constantly posting updates to fix minor bugs like this, and they are rectified quite quickly and have little to no impact on our service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an owner, I like that I can see at a glance what is happening in the centre and if they need help. Parents love that they can see what their children are eating and see how long their children have slept etc. We can communicate with educators and parents and love that OWNA listen to ideas too!

I wish some of the amazing features of WORKR were added to OWNA rather than having to use a separate APP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that i can use one program for all accounts, enrolments, and the documentation side of things, such as observations and programs. Previously I have had to use two systems, one for Accounts and enrolments and another one for programming, which can get confusing for me and other educators and the families.

I also love the support, which is quick and that they take feedback to make the app better from those that use it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have thought about this for a little bit and can't really think of anything i don't like, i do wish the educators could create programs easier on the app and not have to use the desktop version but I know that they are working on making this happen.

They are very quick at helping where needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OWNA is easy to use, and everything is accessible in one place!

I especially like that I can call at any time and get a timely response.

I have used 4 other software providers over the past 26 years, and OWNA is by far the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the ages report to be easier to access and would like to be able to make the call and get a response immediately. (Sometimes you need that answer right away)!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having all the information I need on the Dashboard for easy review. The rostering system is also easy to use and the ability to drag shifts is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have more autonomy on where things are placed or what I have on my dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has everything at your fingertips. All forms, lodgings and data to provide the best care for children without the heartache of constantly writing.

It is so helpful that you can communicate issues or ideas you have with the developers and they listen!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NO issues - can't recommend this app enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can keep track of all the children's daily information, their documentation and enter expiry dates when a child's document needs to be updated. Also keeping track of all staffs qualifications and professional development, to ensure all staff is up to date and compliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to enter the siblings and parent details seperately instead of all at once. For example it would be great if you can enter the parents details then have a button which says "add child" at the bottom to enter all children 's details together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All your programming and CCSS needs in one place. No more paper checklists! I can see an overview of multiple centres on one dashboard. So easy to use and fantastic customer support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No downsides to this software. Any bugs or improvements get addressed immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OWNA meets all the needs of our small early learning service. It helps us to be paperless and gives us info at our fingertips.

The best part is their prompt and excellent service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a minimum charge which works out to be more expensive for a small centre. The portal screen could be improved when accessed from a mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is updated regularly and the devs listen to feedback. The help desk is fast and supportive. The software is easy to use and we have had no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teaching older staff how to use the software when they have never used a computer before. The app is amazing and easier to use than facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
