Families consistently tell us they're looking for educators who genuinely know and care for their child.

We believe every child deserves to feel seen, understood and valued each day.
That's why strong, consistent relationships sit at the centre of everything we do.

Our Primary Educator approach gives children the opportunity to build secure relationships with familiar educators who understand their strengths, interests and individual ways of learning.

Because children don't just need supervision. They need connection, trust and people who truly know them.

Every decision we make starts with one question. What's best for children?

As a not-for-profit organisation, our focus has always been children, families and communities. We reinvest into our services, our educators and our learning environments because that's where it makes the biggest difference.

We're here to create meaningful learning experiences, support families and strengthen our communities.

That's what for-purpose looks like.

Consistency creates connection.

Early education is about more than the experiences children participate in each day. It is about the relationships they build, the confidence they develop and the sense of belonging they create within their learning community.

Attending care on consecutive days provides children with the opportunity to become familiar with their routines, strengthen relationships with educators and peers and engage more deeply in their learning.

At Gowrie NSW, we value the time it takes to truly know every child, because strong relationships are the foundation for meaningful learning.

Your child's learning doesn't have to stop on the days they're not at preschool.

Many ACT families choose government-funded preschool for their 4-year-old, but with only five days a fortnight during school terms, many families are left wondering about the other days and school holidays.

At Gowrie NSW Discovery House, we work alongside your preschool enrolment, providing a high-quality preschool program in a long day care setting that's open 50 weeks a year.

The result? Continuity for your child and flexibility for your family.

The environments children learn in matter.

In early childhood education, we often refer to the environment as the "third teacher" alongside children and educators. That's because spaces, materials and experiences all influence how children explore, connect, think and learn.

Thoughtfully designed environments do more than look inviting. They encourage curiosity, support independence, foster relationships and create opportunities for meaningful learning.

Swipe through to explore how environments can become active participants in children's learning and development. 🌱
