Family Resources

At Unicare, we are family. What can we help you with?

Your Storybook

The Educators create scrapbooks to capture special memories from each week at Unicare.

Each child will receive a personalised scrapbook with their learning stories, memories and photos that will follow them from the Nursery to Kindy graduation.

Each room also has an annual scrapbook to capture stories, development and experiences for the year. These are saved in the Unicare archives and put on display in the rooms and reception for families and children to see. Children love seeing themselves and their play for reflection and discussion.

FAQs

  • Absolutely. We have lots of breast-feeding parents come to the centre through the day.

    We also store expressed breast milk too.

  • Yes, but we need to be clear how and when that happens, so that they don’t think it is ‘going’ home time.

    But it is doable! You can also call us.

    Or you can ask for a picture at any time!

  • If your child is ill and displaying symptoms of an illness, they need you.

    We call the parent to discuss, but if we think you are needed, or of it looks like an infectious illness, we will ask you to come to the Centre.

    We use the National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines from their publication ‘Staying Healthy’ to guide us:

  • You can see photos of your child in the weekly Room Book entries, your personalised Storybook, and on collage boards around the centre. You can also ask for a photo at any time.

Xplor App

Partnership with families is a critical element of quality early childhood education and care.

Xplor is a free parent App introduced into Unicare in 2022. In 2023, Xplor is helping us to use its full potential and build parent partnerships through all of its functions. The App supports parents through:

  • Waitlist registration.

  • Enrolment forms linked directly into their room.

  • Sign in and sign out with ease.

  • Book extra days when you need.

  • Notify us when your child is ill.

  • Tell us when you are off on holidays!

  • Check your child’s health event information, such as nappy changes, meals and nap time!

  • Check your account and balance in real time.

  • From July 2023, watch for the roll out of the next function – Follow your child’s learning timeline with photos and updates.
