Lady Gowrie Qld โ Educating and caring for children since 1940.
Lady Gowrie Child Centres were established in 1940 with their first centre being a demonstration centre for excellence in early childhood education and care, by Lady Gowrie, the wife of the Governor General at the time.
Since then, Lady Gowrieโs early childhood education and care (ECEC) services have grown to provide universal programs for families with children aged 6 weeks to 5 years throughout Queensland.
With more than 85 years of service, Lady Gowrie Queensland now operates over 120 not-for-profit services, spanning metropolitan Brisbane, regional towns, rural communities, and the Torres Strait Islands.
The Lady Gowrie name in Queensland is synonymous with high quality and affordable early childhood services that promote a sense of emotional well-being and social and cultural awareness for children, while supporting parents and enabling greater workforce participation.

“I am so glad that my friend suggested me to go with Lady Gowrie 2 Years ago and my daughter had a really good period of time since then. The educators here are really patient and good at organising all kinds of fun and learning activities, guiding kids to the right manner and preparing them for prep. I’ve been recommending Warry street to all parents I know.”
