About the Business
Welcome to Gowrie NSW Malabar Early Education and Care, located at 2-4 Austral Street, Malabar, Australia. As a not-for-profit preschool and early education center, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care and education for children from birth to school age.
At Gowrie NSW Malabar, we believe that every child is unique, bringing their own strengths, culture, interests, and experiences. We strive to create a nurturing, stimulating, and supportive environment where each child can thrive and discover new possibilities every day.
Our passionate educators are committed to delivering a high-quality educational experience. With three learning environments, each with its own outdoor space, we offer an indoor/outdoor program that allows children to make decisions about their learning experiences. Our large outdoor garden features a digging patch, sandpit, veggie patch, and climbing equipment, encouraging children to explore and engage with their natural environment.
We understand the importance of keeping parents involved in their child's day-to-day activities. Through our secure online platform, you can stay connected and informed, knowing that your child is safe and happy.
With a rich history of educating and caring for children since 1940, Gowrie NSW is committed to excellence and making a lasting impact on children's lives. We prioritize key educator relationships, ensuring continuity, consistency, and nurturing connections between educators and children.
As the Center Manager, I am Hannah, originally from Ireland and now living in Australia for the past 10 years. With over a decade of experience in the early childhood sector and a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Care and Education, I am passionate about promoting children's agency and building strong relationships with both children and families. I also mentor our team of educators to strive for excellence.
Our programs at Malabar Early Education and Care are designed based on children's strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds. We follow the National Quality Framework, which emphasizes that learning is best facilitated through play-based experiences. Extensive research shows that play is crucial for children under the age of five, as it encourages persistence and acknowledges their interests.
We also have a comprehensive school readiness program that starts from the moment children join our center. We focus on building confidence, self-awareness, conflict resolution skills, creativity, and collaboration. In the final preschool years, we offer a dedicated Transition to School Program, working closely with local primary schools to prepare children socially and emotionally for their next educational journey.
To ensure open and clear communication, we use Storypark to document your child's discoveries and learning. This secure online platform allows us to share photos, videos, audio, and observations in real-time, involving families in the learning process and ensuring the best outcomes for children.
We understand that childcare costs can be a concern for families. That's why we offer assistance through the Child Care Subsidy, which helps with the cost of approved or registered childcare. Our team can provide you with more information about eligibility and entitlements.
If you're interested in visiting our center, please fill out the Book a Tour form on our website. You can choose a convenient appointment time, and our enrollment team will be in touch to guide you through the process.
At Gowrie NSW, we acknowledge and honor the Traditional Owners of the land on which our centers are located. We celebrate and respect the Elders of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations, both past and present.
Join us at Gowrie NSW Malabar Early Education and Care, where every day is filled with possibility and chances for discovery.

Reviews
"I worked there for a short time, the managers, Tara and Hannah are amazing, they create a friendly environment to make stress free for the staff. The staff are so friendly , nice and active, they all made a great proffessional & friendly team, so nice and caring toward the children so they'll feel safe and happy and enjoy their time away from their family!"
"My son has been attending Gowrie in Malabar for almost a year and I could not be happier with his care and the attention to detail the beautiful staff show. From the food menu to daily photo updates to the creative fun activities I can not speak highly enough. I feel safe and confident with the care my son gets every day and I highly recommend this day care."
"John Mewburn is a fantastic daycare centre. I have one child who attended here when he was little and he loved it. He’s now in primary school and doing great. I have 2 other younger kids who currently attend and they ask so love it. It has great amenities, lots of open space and more importantly the staff are amazing. Lots of staff there still who were there when my now nearly 10yr old was there which is always a good sign of a great workplace. They are very caring, compassionate, nurturing and amazing educators."
"Both my son and daughter attended the Malabar centre and I can not recommend the carers enough. Hannah and her team are genuinely caring and nurturing; they support the children and encourage them in their developmental milestones. There is great space for outdoor learning and play. It is an excellent facility and full credit to the entire team for creating such a safe, fun and caring space."
"My daughter absolutely loves Gowrie. She was a timid, cautious girl who hadn't spent much time away from Mam & Dad. So I was worried about starting her at school but she took to the place so well. The staff are so knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about early learning, but they are also so warm and loving towards the kids. The centre has is a safe, clean place for your kids. My daughter had never caught as much as a sniffle. The care and well being of the kids and staff are so important to everyone. I am so happy I found this lovely centre for my a little one. I would recommend it to everyone, and i do!"
