Eighty-five years ago, Lady Gowrie Queensland open Eighty-five years ago, Lady Gowrie Queensland opened its doors with a simple mission: to advocate for the right to quality care and education for all children, and demonstrate exemplary benchmarks of this standard in early childhood practice. On 19 July 2025, we honour that legacy and look forward to the next chapter.

Join us on for a full-day celebration of learning, inspiration and community. Hear from keynote speaker Robyn Moore, connect with early-childhood experts, and reflect on 85 years of nurturing learning environments which recognise every child’s potential.

Spots are limited – register now and be part of this milestone. Registrations close 12th July.

The 1st of July marks The Coming of the Light for The 1st of July marks The Coming of the Light for Torres Strait Islander people. While it is an island specific public holiday, many Torres Strait Islanders, whether living on the islands or the mainland, come together to honour this anniversary each year. 

The Coming of the Light presents the opportunity to embrace Islander culture and food, and often celebrations feature storytelling, dancing and re-enactments of historic events.  It is also a time of togetherness, with festivities bringing the wider community together.
On Thursday 31st July, Ballymore Kindy welcomes yo On Thursday 31st July, Ballymore Kindy welcomes you to join us for an evening with Marc Armitage, who will explore the role of the adult in supporting the playing child. This session explores the Playwork concept of a low intervention and high response approach used by playworkers to support play and help clear up some of the confusion of what we should be doing while children play around us.

Marc Armitage is a consultant, researcher, and writer in play, playing and playwork. He regularly travels the world speaking to groups of professionals from a broad spectrum of work sectors in the children and young people’s workforce including playworkers, early educators, primary and secondary school teachers, out-of-school people, parks and playground designers, politicians, policy makers and many others. He also spends a lot of time talking with children. With. That's the key word.

📍 The event will run from 6:30pm – 8:45pm at Ballymore Kindy - 185 Butterfield Street, Herston.

This is an open event for educators, teachers, parents and community members and tickets can be purchased here: https://loom.ly/YTAwqwg

Today is International Day of Yoga! Did you know y Today is International Day of Yoga! Did you know yoga can benefit children too? Yoga in early childhood helps children build body awareness, develop self-regulation, and find moments of calm in their busy day. Learning how to slow our bodies down and tune out unwanted “noise” is a skill for life. Through gentle movement, breathing, and mindfulness, children can build lifelong tools for wellbeing.

We are a not for-profit organisation providing high quality childcare and Kindergarten programs, with a strong heritage in early childhood education in Queensland and Australia.

The Brisbane Lady Gowrie Childcare Centre was established in 1940 as a demonstration centre for excellence in early childhood education and care. We continue to be Qld’s leading provider of Community Kindergarten and Long Day Care services and uphold the highest standards in childcare.

Lady Gowrie QLD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which our Kindergarten and childcare services are placed, and pay our respects to the elders, past and present, who have raised children, taught them about the world around them and bestowed on them the gift of culture and language.
