At the Y, we know how important it is for families to feel connected to their child’s day. That’s why our early learning centres use Xplor, a secure online platform that helps us share updates, photos and messages with families in a simple and safe way.
Xplor allows us to stay in touch with you, keep you informed, and work together to support your child’s learning and wellbeing.
What is Xplor?
Xplor is a secure digital platform that allows early learning centres to communicate with families in real time. It’s a central hub where you can receive:
- Daily news and curriculum updates
- Photos and videos of your child’s learning and play
- Messages from educators and the centre
- Attendance information
- Reminders about events, activities and updates
This helps ensure information is shared clearly, consistently and in a way that’s easy for families to access.
How we use Xplor at the Y to keep you connected to your child
Daily Updates – Our educators share photos, videos and observations of your child’s day, so you can see their learning moments and celebrations, even when you’re apart.
Messages and Announcements – You’ll receive messages straight to your phone or email — from reminders about upcoming events to important notices from the centre.
Learning Stories – Educators document your child’s progress through photos and reflections that highlight milestones, skill development, friendships and discoveries.
Easy Access – Xplor is available via an app or website, so you can check in whenever it suits you.
Keeping information Safe and Secure
Your child’s privacy and safety are very important to us. Xplor is built with strong security and privacy protections to keep family information safe.
- Information is stored securely and shared only with authorised users
- Families can only view information about their own child
- Educators follow clear guidelines about what is appropriate to share
Xplor meets national standards for early learning services, giving families peace of mind when using online communication
Why Communication Matters
Strong communication between families and educators builds trust, understanding and collaboration, which benefit your child in many ways:
- You can reinforce learning at home
- Educators gain deeper insight into your child’s interests
- You feel connected to your child’s experiences
- We work together to support your child’s wellbeing, routines and transitions
Effective communication isn’t just about updates, it’s about nurturing strong relationships.
Always Happy to Chat
How we use Xplor at the Y is just one of the ways we stay connected, but it doesn’t replace face-to-face conversations. Our educators are always happy to talk with you at drop-off or pick-up, or to answer any questions whenever you need.
