Locally-owned and operated TG’s Child Care took home Employer of Choice (Large Business) and earned Highly Commended in both Excellence in Professional Services and Excellence in Large Business. These honours recognise TG’s exceptional workplace culture, sector-leading standards, and deep connection to the communities they serve.
TG’s Child Care is no stranger to success. For over 25 years, they’ve been a trusted steward of children’s futures, with TG's Riverbreeze and TG's Hastings St delivering Exceeding-rated early learning across all seven National Quality Standard areas, a distinction achieved by fewer than 10% of providers nationwide.
Their values-led philosophy, The TG’s Way, built on Love, Trust, Respect, Compassion, and FUN, is more than a mission statement. It’s embedded in every interaction, every programme, and every workplace decision. With above-award wages, funded qualifications, leadership pathways, and inclusive hiring practices, TG’s has become a benchmark for professionalism in Early Childhood Education.
As a long-time marketing and communications client of Vermilion Pinstripes, we have had the privilege of supporting TG’s Child Care on their journey from shaping communications to preparing their award submissions. We know how much passion and precision go into their work, and it has been inspiring to watch them grow, adapt, and continue to lead their sector with heart and excellence.
Helping TG’s articulate their story for the awards was a joy. We worked together to highlight their unique culture, robust governance, community contributions, and their ability to retain and grow talented Educators in a highly competitive sector.
These awards not only recognise TG’s dedication to quality and community, but they also reinforce TG’s as an employer of choice at a time when Early Childhood Education faces a nationwide shortage of passionate Educators. For TG’s, it’s an opportunity to raise the bar in the industry, and extend an invitation to those who want to be part of something meaningful – a workplace where careers flourish, and futures are shaped.
We are so proud and pleased for TG’s Child Care on their well-deserved success. It’s been our privilege to help tell their story, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside them as they Play it Forward for children, families, Educators, and the wider community.
