About Lady Gowrie Kindergartens
There are more than 70 Lady Gowrie Affiliated Community Kindergartens across Queensland providing an Early Childhood Education program for children in the year before they start school.
Lady Gowrie Kindergartens are community-based, and are expert in tailoring their early childhood services to the needs of local children and families.
The Gowrie (QLD) is the Central Governing Body (CGB) for Lady Gowrie Affiliated Kindergartens and supports each service in their provision of an Approved Kindergarten Program.
For 70 years The Gowrie’s focus has been Queensland children and families, and the benefits quality early childhood programs bring to our community. The Gowrie believes that childhood is a unique time of life, to be valued and enjoyed in its own right. This is the time where foundations are laid for future health, learning and wellbeing.
We value children growing up with the understandings, skills and dispositions to be caring people and effective learners, able to contribute to their world and to enjoy rich and successful relationships with others.
