About Xplor Education

Xplor is a cloud-based solution designed to help child care centers handle student enrollments, subsidy management, session bookings and other administrative processes on a centralized platform. Using the playground module, professionals can monitor children's activities and record observations in the form of images or videos.

Xplor provides mobile applications for iOS and Android devices, which can be used by parents to remotely track the daily progress of children, view due payments and communicate with educators via chat. It allows organizations to create enrolment forms using custom templates, manage child care subsidy (CCS) submissions and automatically generate digital complying written agreements (CWAs). Other features include pick-up reminders, reporting, audit logs, rostering, timesheets and more.

Xplor offers an API, which enables businesses to integrate the platform with various third-party applications. Pricing is based on selected modules and support is extended via live chat, phone, documentation FAQs and other online measures.

Pros:

Great software and very easy to use and easy access

Cons:

I use Xplor for my child’s daycare and find that you can add a vacation day and before school care but you can not add a after school day. And you can not delete days put in which can be frustrating because if need need to have a day off you can’t delete but you still get charge daycare fees :(

Pros:

This software has many features including client management, memberships, facility booking, activity registration, reporting, etc. It handles most things well and streamlines the process of registration and payment collection.

Cons:

Many features are not integrated with each other making reporting difficult at time as even custom reports cannot pull all the info you need. Many features are not intuitive to set up and documentation is not always helpful even if it exists.

Pros:

Easy to log my children into school daily in a Xplor care app.

Cons:

Frustrated that it’s no longer one email received with all information provided on what kids did, what they ate and some photos. There are no daily notifications that can be issued and I have to log into two different Xplor systems. I’m really not impressed or happy!

Pros:

It is well designed and easy to navigate.

The only complaint i had was that some of the features were not working... pretty sure it was to do with my center not the software.. center only just started using it this year after using another program. This program far exceeds the old one.

Changing child care centres partly because of Xplor

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Pros:

Great if you have only one child at a centre that uses Xplor.

Cons:

Our second child joined a centre that uses Xplor. We were not able to use the same email address to access Xplor as that email had been used for our first child who had attended another centre that uses Xplor last year. We had to register our second child using a work email. There is a similar problem when trying to use the same phone number for signing in and out. The child care centre was not much help and the only way for parents to get assistance from Xplor was by email. To Xplor's credit, they responded in a timely manner. But three weeks had passed since our child had enrolled and we missed three weeks of CCS because we haven't been able to sign in and out. It is impossible to work out from the statement how a payment amount was determined. The running balance includes daily estimates of the CCS and the actual CCS amount from Centrelink. We are pulling our child out of this child care centre and the criteria for her new child care centre is that they don't use Xplor.

Pros:

I like the ability to sign my child in and out via the phone app to avoid the queues at the access points.

Cons:

That the sign authorisation is only available in the app for primary caregivers and not others that may be authorised to drop/off and pick up. I don't think there is a need for a hidden menu, due to the limited options in the menu and that not a great deal is displayed on the "home screen" it would make more sense to have the menu icons on the home screen (less clicks for users to get to where they want)
