Genius Childcare Gowrie
Genius Childcare Gowrie Centre overview
Our Long Daycare and Preschool Centre provides early education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.
We provide convenient, full care coverage from 9hr, 10hr or full days, 5 days per week, including school holidays.
Our dedicated team of Teachers and Educators provide a safe, nurturing, and inspiring learning environment - where your child can thrive, and be their wonderful self, every day.
Getting school ready? We offer the Government-approved Preschool program that helps ensure your child has a successful transition to formal schooling.
We offer a great variety of learning experiences at our Centre including:
- Sustainability Program: Helps children develop and understand the importance of embedding sustainable practices into everyday life. Children learn about recycling, conserving water, growing food and the importance of protecting our planet.
- Community Engagement Program: Encourages children to interact with and discover their local community. We often have visits from community services, and we go out on adventures to teach the children about their local environment.
- Music & Movement Program: Designed to develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration. Children learn to appreciate and develop an understanding of music - and of course, have fun.

So incredibly sad to be leaving our childcare family at the centre. Unfortunately, the centre has deteriorated since taken over by genius early... So incredibly sad to be leaving our childcare family at the centre. Unfortunately, the centre has deteriorated since taken over by genius early in the year. I had read bad reviews about genius at the time of takeover, about staff not being paid and centres closing with no notice, and now unfortunately our experience has supported these negative views. The actual day to day staff at the centre have been so wonderful and I can’t praise them enough for the wonderful care they have provided my son for 2 years, since before genius took over. Unfortunately, with the centre changes and high staff turn over, there is so much uncertainty and we have made the tough but necessary decision to move our son to a different centre, because we don’t know who will be there to look after our son and even if they will have staff to open the doors on any given morning beyond December.

DO NOT accept any offers from genius don't apply for a tour don’t apply for a job Just don't. Not only is genius NOT PAYING... DO NOT accept any offers from genius don't apply for a tour don’t apply for a job Just don't. Not only is genius NOT PAYING THE AMAZING STAFF THERE SUPER OR PAY THEM ON TIME! Genius isn't even taking responsibility. genius also is falling to pay contractors and suppliers making it an unreliable situation for not only safety but for hygiene as well for kids. forcing both the staff members and families to have to leave the tran reck of a management from genius company. I have noticed that genius company management either don't care or are delusional as they seem to think it will all be ok even though they have driven most of the amazing staff at genius gowrie to resign and families to leave. Not to mention there is no communication from the genius company that has set a dumpster fire to what was an amazing Centre before them and they are doing nothing to try to put it out. genius company don't care who they hurt as long as they still line their pockets.

My sister-in-law has been working here for over years, over her time she has felt so much love and support from the families and team that she had felt they have become a big family. Since Genius Childcare took over in April, it has been nothing but problems after problems. They have not paid wages on time, not paid any superannuation to their employees and have left their contractors with outstanding bills that they haven’t paid. She is really upset she has to leave her wonderful team and families but feels like she has reached out to the company on many occasions but they do not respond and if they do they ignore her concerns. Do not send your children here and especially do not work for the company. They need to be shutdown and stop damaging so many people’s lives. Read more
