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.

My son has been attending Guardian Doncaster East since he was 11 months old and has now transitioned through all the different rooms. It’s truly a joy knowing he looks forward to his daycare days. The educators are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. Chef Ishan prepares absolutely amazing meals and exposes the children to a wide variety of ingredients and flavours. It’s been wonderful to see how this has expanded my son’s palate and helped him become less fussy with food. In my experience, any challenges or concerns I’ve raised have always been addressed promptly, thoughtfully, and with genuine care. This gives me even greater trust in the team and confidence that my son is in the best hands every day. We are so grateful for the nurturing environment Guardian Doncaster East provides. Highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a safe, supportive, and joyful place for their little one.

Guardian Childcare and Education Doncaster East has been a wonderful environment for my children. The educators are attentive, taking care to notice all the finer details that make a difference. It’s clear that the team is friendly and collegial, working collaboratively to create a warm and supportive atmosphere. The Kinder program is thoughtfully planned, offering a great balance of learning and play. I also appreciate the inclusion of outsourced music and outdoor education programs, which add a great variety. The food provided is nutritious and made with love — the soup and garlic bread are favourites in our house! Most importantly, my kids are simply happy to go each day. That alone says it all.

We’re glad we landed on this place for our son after looking into quite a few other options in the area. Genuinely caring educators and leaders alike - Veronica, Nam, Ash, Ross, Sumi, Sally, Lauren, Mandy, Kiana, Andrew (to name a few) really make this a great place to be for the kids. Ishan the chef is a gun to say the least. I’m tempted by the aroma most mornings to stay for lunch! You know the place is well run from the time you walk in and there’s a sense of peace leaving your kid there knowing they’re going to be well taken care of. Highly recommend this place for anyone considering sending their kids to a quality childcare.
