Why Choose Gowrie Discovery House

Primary Educator Relationship: At the heart of the Gowrie Discovery House approach is the 'Primary Educator Relationship'.
This means each child has a dedicated educator who:
• Builds strong, trusting bonds
• Understands your child’s unique needs
• Supports their wellbeing, confidence and love of learning

Safe and Stimulating Environment: Your child’s safety and rights are paramount. The passionate, long-term team of educators provide stability and genuine care, building strong relationships that help every child feel secure, valued and ready to explore. The program is underpinned by four program foundations - Empowerment, Respectful Relationships, Play Based Learning and Practitioner Inquiry.

Play-Based Learning: At Gowrie Discovery House, learning through play is central. This approach nurtures creativity, problem-solving, and social growth, while empowering children to express their ideas and make choices in their learning journey.

From infants to preschoolers, the programs cater to each developmental stage:
• Infant Care: Gentle care and early stimulation for babies, promoting secure attachments and early development.
• Toddler Programs: Encouraging independence and curiosity through age-appropriate activities and social interaction.
• Preschool Curriculum: Preparing children for school with a comprehensive curriculum that includes literacy, numeracy, and social skills.
