Gowrie SA is a not-for-profit community-based service situated in Adelaide’s inner Western suburbs. Our Children’s Programs are just minutes away from Adelaide’s CBD in Thebarton and Underdale. 

With established natural gardens and spacious environments for learning, Gowrie SA provides Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) programs for children from 6 weeks to school age. 

Over 85 years' experience means we understand what children and families need to thrive through the early years. If you are looking for the ‘village’ you need for your family to feel safe, supported, and emotionally fulfilled – look no further. We have a track record of families finding their village with us, and children finding their first and enduring friendships. Gowrie SA’s Exceeding ratings against the National Quality Standard reflect the quality of experience we offer children and families. When you join Gowrie SA, you are investing not only in your child’s education and care before school, but also in your family’s wellbeing and in supportive community connections to surround you throughout the early years.

We see all children as capable and confident learners. Our daily programs provide children with endless opportunities for growth and learning as individuals, in groups, and as a part of a learning community. Our environments are designed to feel homely, with elements of warmth and familiarity that reflect the children and families in our community. Natural and engaging spaces flow from inside to outside, encouraging children to explore, play and learn through connecting with others and their world.
