Premium Content A new childcare centre has opened in Hervey Bay, with a focus on play-based learning. TG s Child Care is a family-owned and operated long day care and kindergarten, licensed for 73 places for children aged six weeks to six years. TG s Child Care owners Trevor and Gayle Kee moved to Hervey Bay 12 months ago. Supported by local trades, they have refurbished the existing Urangan centre at 61 Miller St and given it a complete makeover.
