About TG's Child Care

NEW SOUTH WALES

QUEENSLAND

Welcome to TG's Child Care 
Where Playing is Learning for Life

At TG’s Child Care, children are at the heart of everything we do. Proudly locally owned and operated, TG’s is led by Gayle Kee, a University-qualified Early Childhood Teacher with over 40 years of experience who understands what families truly need.
 

​Since 2002, Gayle has built TG’s from a single centre into a thriving family of early learning communities across regional New South Wales and Queensland. Her vision was born from empathy. To create a nature-based, play-driven environment where children thrive, and parents feel confident, supported, and guilt-free.

When you walk into TG’s, you’re not just entering a childcare service. You’re stepping into a place where Love, Trust, Respect, Compassion, and Fun guide everything we do. These values are woven into every garden, every classroom, and every relationship we build with children, families, and our wider community.

About Our Founder — Gayle Kee
The Heart Behind TG’s

Gayle Kee is the heart and driving force behind TG’s Child Care. A University-qualified Early Childhood Teacher with more than four decades of professional experience, Gayle has walked alongside countless families through the joys and challenges of raising children.
 

As a mother, grandmother, and astute businesswoman, Gayle understands what it’s like to balance work, home, and family, and she knows the pang of “mother guilt” that many parents feel. Her vision for TG’s was born from that deep empathy: to create an early learning environment where children feel loved, parents feel supported, and educators feel inspired.

Under her leadership, TG’s has grown into one of the region’s most trusted names in early childhood education. Gayle’s blend of caring heart, sharp vision, and professional expertise continues to shape TG’s culture, a place where educators are empowered, families are welcomed, and children are celebrated for being exactly who they are.

“As both an educator and a mum, I’ve always believed that children flourish when they’re surrounded by love, laughter, and opportunities to explore. At TG’s, we honour every child’s individuality and nurture them to become confident, compassionate learners — ready to play it forward in life.”
— Gayle Kee, Owner and General Manager, TG’s Child Care

Our Philosophy — Playing is Learning for Life

Guided by Gayle’s lifelong commitment to early childhood education, TG’s philosophy celebrates play as the foundation of lifelong learning.

Through play, children build curiosity, independence, creativity, and confidence. Whether they’re exploring our award-winning gardens, sharing a story with a friend, or solving a challenge together, every moment at TG’s is an opportunity to learn.

We believe in nurturing the whole child — their mind, body, and spirit — through warm relationships, meaningful interactions, and a safe, stimulating environment. At TG’s, we see each child as capable, competent, and full of potential.

Nature-based early childhood environment

TG’s Child Care centres are nurturing, natural, safe and secure spaces where children play, live and learn in a well-designed, beautiful and engaging learning environment.

TG’s natural outdoor environments have been carefully designed by Trevor, a qualified landscape designer, and Gayle as exciting and dynamic places for children. Here they can explore and develop in a way that challenges and supports both fine and gross motor skills, builds curiosity, social and emotional intelligence, encourages active and passive play and caters to varying moods and needs. It is also a culture of fun that invites critical thinking, reflection and inquiry.

Exploring nature is part of our sustainability practices. It builds a foundation of values for making the world a better place. We develop independent and creative young minds, encouraging collective thinking with their peers and making a significant difference.

Our Community — Locally Grown, Loved by Generations

For more than 25 years, TG’s has been part of the fabric of our local communities. Many families are now second-generation TG’s children, parents who once played in our gardens now return with little ones of their own.

This sense of belonging is what makes TG’s unique. Families know they’re supported by a locally owned and operated team who care deeply about every child’s wellbeing and future.

We partner with families, local schools, and community organisations to build strong, connected relationships. Our educators take pride in understanding each family’s story, ensuring that every child’s journey at TG’s is filled with love, laughter, and learning.

Qualified, Professional Educators

Our qualified, highly-experienced and dedicated teams of educators work together to maximise the well-being and development of each child. We design quality outcomes for children to encourage, support and equip them with the skills they need to succeed in life. We nurture each child’s interests and stages of development so that they may establish a life-long compassion, love and respect for themselves, their environment and their community. 
 
Our educators carefully review, examine and produce educational program outcomes that are new, innovative, inclusive of all needs and flexible for all children and families.

Healthy meals that are also FUN

TG's meals are recognised by "Munch and Move" and "Good for Kids". NSW Health nutritionists scrutinise our menu and ensure we comply with the National Quality Standards. 

​

Our seasonal menu rotates on a 4-week cycle and the children enjoy delicious and fun meals that are varied and take into account the children's age, development level, allergies and intolerances. Incorporating farm-to-fork experiences engages curiosity, appreciation and encourages a sense of adventure with their food preferences.

​

TG's Child Care has been the Stewardship of Children's Future since 2002

TG's business model is one of sustainability - we look at how we impact the environment, social aspects and economy of our locations. TG's fosters values, attitudes, skills and behaviours supporting children to become environmentally responsible. TG's children build eco-intelligence by learning how to care for their environment and ensure its sustainability and long term future. Children also learn to appreciate our communities as a valuable source of sustainable business and economic support.

At TG's, children learn respect for each other and cultivate a love of learning that will take them through to primary, high school and beyond as valuable and reliable citizens of our community. We embrace and respect diversity and equality, expanding the children's vision of our culture and society.

Every single child at TG's is encouraged and supported to become well-rounded young citizens who form meaningful connections with their world through belonging, being and becoming.
 

TG's children:

​

  • Build a strong sense of identity

  • Connect with and contribute to their world

  • Cultivate a strong sense of well-being

  • Become confident and involved learners

  • Are effective communicators

A Message from Gayle

“When I started TG’s in 1998, I wanted to create a space where children could learn and grow in an environment that feels like an extension of home. A place filled with laughter, nature, and discovery — where families feel supported and educators feel valued.

Today, I’m proud to see TG’s continue to nurture future generations with the same love, trust, and respect that started it all. Thank you for letting us be part of your child’s story.”
