At Lady Gowrie Qld we are committed to research that informs and guides our pedagogies and practices and contributes to high quality outcomes for educators, children, families and our broader communities. Generating new knowledge to support our work ensures that as an organisation we are investing in evidence-based policies and practices.

Lady Gowrie Qld is a willing collaborator in research that is ethical, impactful and seeks to advance knowledge in local, national and international contexts. Through research, we believe in creating better outcomes for children and families. We encourage research partners to contact us to discuss their research proposal. High quality research proposals that benefit our organisation, educators, children, families and communities and that apply and adhere to ethical research practices are welcomed. Proposals, where appropriate, should demonstrate approval for their research project from their organisation’s Human Research Ethics Committee or equivalent body.

If you would like to contact us to discuss a research proposal, please email our Chief Executive Officer, Louise Jackson at louise.jackson@ladygowrie.com.au .

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.
