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.

Reiterating the recent complaints shared below about the approved provider "genius" (*eyeroll*) who operate the centre from outside the ACT. Do not bother touring this centre next week because everyone you meet will no longer be there the week following, it will be a whole new team, unfamiliar with working with each other and strangers to the children who will be strangers to each other, very sad thought. They were paid to take over this centre from G8 because it was losing money, so the first cut they make is actually not paying the staff at all!? I felt ashamed when I discovered that these staff were still caring for my kids without being paid wages and super for weeks at a time. They've had enough now and I don't blame them. How Genius remains an "approved provider" to deliver taxpayer subsidised care is a mystery to us all. Complaints have been made to the "responsible" people/bodies/politicians but it all falls on deaf ears. Just the outright disrespect, lies, and ghosting is appalling. But they will be ready at the door (metaphorically) following this current exodus of staff and families to welcome in the next victims of their scam because who's stopping them? Read more

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.
