Gowrie NSW Mayfield Early Education and Care Centre 14 Frith Street, Mayfield, New South Wales 2304

Gowrie NSW Mayfield Early Education and Care Centre is a not-for-profit childcare center located in Mayfield, Newcastle. We are dedicated to providing high-quality care and education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. We believe that every child is unique, with their own strengths, capabilities, and interests. Our goal is to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and discover new possibilities every day.

Our team of dedicated and passionate educators are committed to providing a high-quality educational experience for your child. We believe in the importance of building strong relationships with both children and their families. Through a secure online platform, we keep parents involved in their child's day, providing peace of mind knowing that their child is safe and happy.

At Gowrie NSW Mayfield, we draw on our rich history of educating and caring for children since 1940. We strive for excellence and aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of the children in our care.

Our programs are based on the National Quality Framework, which emphasizes learning through play-based experiences. We understand that play is the best vehicle for learning for children under the age of five. By acknowledging and building upon children's interests, we create a context that encourages curiosity and engagement.

Our outdoor space allows children to choose their environment and experience, promoting independence and decision-making. We believe in providing opportunities for children to engage with literacy and numeracy, preparing them for school. Our school readiness program focuses on building confidence, self-awareness, conflict resolution skills, creativity, and collaboration.

We use Storypark, a secure online platform, to document and share your child's discoveries and learnings in real-time. Families are encouraged to participate in this process to ensure the best learning outcomes for their child.

Mayfield Early Education and Care Centre caters to children from 6 weeks to school age, with six rooms available. Our classroom sizes are tailored to meet the needs of the children, ensuring an optimal learning environment.

We provide all meals, cooked fresh, and cater to dietary requirements. Bed linen, hats, and sunscreen are also provided, so families only need to supply spare clothes and comforters for their child.

Our play spaces are designed with natural materials and soft colorings to create a calm and well-resourced environment. We have a large outdoor space that includes sandpits, vegetable gardens, water play areas, and open grassy spaces for open-ended play.

We understand the financial concerns of families, and the Child Care Subsidy is available to assist with the cost of childcare. Our team will guide you through the enrollment process and provide the necessary information.

To learn more about our center, we invite you to book a tour through our website or contact our Enrolment Team. We acknowledge and honor the Traditional Owners of the land on which our center is located, paying respect to their Elders past and present.
