Journey Early Learning Gumdale is where your child’s journey begins. Children from ages six weeks to six years are surrounded by stimulating learning environments and nurturing educators. It’s a place where children can make a positive start to a life of learning, development, growth and opportunity.
From peek-a-boo to prep, we’re here every step of the way.
School transition is a major focus, and we work hard to ensure this is a smooth process. By providing a safe and secure environment, our children develop confidence, resilience and a strong sense of self for the school journey ahead.
In order to ensure every child is prepared for school, our Kindergarten classrooms are intentionally designed by our Teachers to align with the Journey Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework and Curriculum. Our Government Approved Funded 3 and 4-Year-Old Kindergarten Classrooms are run by ACCEQA approved Early Childhood Teachers and Qualified Educators. Children enrolling in our 4-Year-Old Kinder Program are provided with ongoing support from teachers in preparation for school through our School Readiness Program.
Did you know that your child can attend Journey from 6 weeks to their first day of school?
We’ve designed a helpful Child Care Subsidy calculator so you can discover more about your government entitlements. Need help? We’re here to chat, just book an appointment below.
Hello, I’m Alex, Centre Manager at Journey Early Learning Gumdale.
I’ve been working in early childhood education since I was 17, and I can truly say it’s my passion. As a mum of three myself, I understand just how important it is to know your child is safe, nurtured, and valued each day.
I hold a Diploma of Children’s Services, I’m in my final year of my Bachelor of Education, and I’m also a qualified paralegal. All of these experiences have shaped the way I lead—with a focus on care, professionalism, and open communication.
At Gumdale, you can expect a warm, family-like environment where every child is seen as an individual, with their unique strengths and interests celebrated. My team and I are committed to creating spaces where children grow with confidence, curiosity, and joy.
Most importantly, I’m here for you. I believe strong partnerships with families make all the difference, so my door is always open for a chat, a question, or just to share a special moment in your child’s journey.

Exploring nature-based play
Children love getting out and exploring in nature. It really is the greatest teacher. Nature based play is a core part of our curriculum. That’s because it teaches them vital life skills including confidence, independence, exploration and cooperation. Playing outside also promotes health and wellbeing and teaches them respect for the environment.
