Kids Rock is designed to reflect the beauty of our natural surroundings and to stimulate the sensory development of our tamariki.
…XPLOR Education…
Xplor education is an ingregal part of our day to day operations, it is a platform that connects apps including the “Xplore home app”, “Discover app” and the “playground app” to make childcare, education and administration easy and accessible.
Xplore home
“Xplor Home” provides our whanau with an insight to the care and education of their tamariki, from the moment you complete your enrolment form, you can utilise ‘Xplor Home” to book child-care days, manage your account, receive observations and photographs, as well as, be kept up to date with nappy changes, sleep management, accident and medication notifications and sunscreen applications.
Discover
The “Discover” app’s main purpose in the centre is to provide the ability to sign tamariki in and out. Upon enrollment each whanau member will receive their very own unique code which gives you access to do such tasks, alernatively, whanau can scan their QR code provided by the “xplor home” app. “Discover” provides both whanau and kaiako with the ability to track who picks up/drops off tamariki and their times of arrival/departure.
Play ground
The “playground” app enables kaiako to document, share learning focuses and observations throughout the day, it is also where toileting, accident and medication, sleeping and sunscreen application records are documented and stored.
