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.

Nomination for: Sonali Chaudhary — Guardian Childcare<br><br>I would like to formally nominate Sonali Chaudhary for the Aspires Awards in recognition of the outstanding care and dedication she has shown my son, Kendrick, throughout this year.<br><br>Kendrick consistently mentions Sonali when I ask about his day at the centre, which speaks to the positive impression she has made on him and the meaningful role she plays in his experience there. I have also noticed her professionalism and warmth firsthand at drop-off and pick-up, where she consistently offers a genuine, friendly greeting and takes the time to share positive feedback about Kendrick’s progress.<br><br>Having previously enrolled my older son at other childcare centres, I can say with confidence that this level of attentiveness and consistency is not common. Educators such as Sonali are invaluable to the reputation and quality of an institution, and I believe her contribution deserves formal recognition.
