Our daughter has been going to Guardian Paradise since she was 1. In nursery the educators worked with her getting her down for naps, she contact napped at home and they held her to sleep until she was comfortable to sleep on the bed there, I'm truly thankful for this. My daughter is in the toddler room now, the educators always tell me she has lots of fun and my daughter tells me each pick up she has had fun. There are lots of activities they do and they learn so much. Any concerns or questions are answered, and when making requests the centre is accommodating. My daughter has an allergy and I like that there is always an allergy free option for her so she's not missing out on things like birthday celebrations.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years.

The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.

It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly.​ Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.

Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.

To BE Me is underpinned by Guardian’s world class teaching program that has been developed over many years of research and thousands of hours observing how children develop.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop healthy eating habits from an early age. Qualified Chefs and Cooks in our centres create fresh and nutritious meals each day, using seasonal, high-quality ingredients that align with Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience.

Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable. Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled.

Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

We believe open, consistent communication with families is essential to every child’s learning and wellbeing. Our team builds strong, lasting partnerships with each family at the centre.

Personalised ‘My Learning and Development’ books track each child’s milestones and observed behaviours, with opportunities for families to share at-home observations.

Our online Storypark platform shares snapshots of learning and progress when you’re not at the centre.

Learning Exchange Displays in each room show weekly plans, experiences, and focus areas.

At year’s end or school transition, we provide a personalised summary of your child’s learning and development.

Together, we celebrate achievements, support growth, and keep you connected to your child’s learning journey.
