Lady Gowrie Child Centre Thebarton Campus

Lady Gowrie Child Centre believe that learning continues throughout life and is enriched within an inclusive and welcoming community. They recognise that a child’s learning takes place within their family and their role is to understand and support this within early childhood settings. 

Their learning environments offer children rich and meaningful experiences that enable them to engage with community, language, culture and nature, with a focus on the joy of discovery, where their educators learn with and from children. Educators support children’s learning through listening and responding to children and offering opportunities to participate in play-based learning. Through intentional teaching, educators sustain flexible practices, building on a child's voice, family cultures, knowledge and interests, creating rich learning for children. These beliefs are expressed in their pedagogical principles.
