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.

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 daughter is 11 months old and has been attending Guardian for about two months. Before this, she struggled to adjust at another centre due to her sensitive temperament and separation anxiety, so I had to withdraw her. That experience helped me realize I hadn’t found the right place — until now. From my very first visit, I noticed a real difference. The centre is clean, spacious, and has a lovely outdoor garden. I toured seven centres in total, but only Guardian made me feel truly welcomed and prepared with a clear orientation. During a Stay and Play session, a false fire alarm went off. The staff remained calm and efficiently evacuated all the children, including the little babies who couldn’t yet sit or walk. Their professionalism and care really impressed me. Every visit makes me feel genuinely welcomed, and my daughter is settling in beautifully. When I pick her up, she’s always happy and never crying — which is amazing given how anxious she used to be. I’m very satisfied and highly recommend Guardian to families looking for a caring, safe, and well-organized environment. Huge thanks to Kylie, Grace, Fatma, Prema, and all the wonderful staff for making this such a great place for my daughter.😊

Response from the owner 21 Jul 2025

We’re incredibly grateful that you chose us after such a thoughtful and thorough search. Touring seven centres is no small feat, and we’re honoured to have stood out as the place where you felt truly welcomed and supported from the very beginning. It’s wonderful to hear that our orientation process helped you feel prepared and confident in your decision. We’re especially touched by your story about your daughter’s journey. Transitioning to care can be challenging, particularly for little ones with sensitive temperaments and separation anxiety. Knowing that she is now settling in beautifully, happy at pick-up time, and no longer crying — that’s exactly the kind of outcome we strive for every day. Your mention of the false fire alarm and how our team responded calmly and professionally, even with the youngest children, is a testament to the dedication and care our educators bring to their roles. We’re so proud of Kylie, Grace, Fatma, Prema, and all our staff for creating a safe, nurturing, and well-organized environment where children can thrive. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We’re thrilled to be part of your daughter’s early learning journey and look forward to continuing to support her growth and happiness.

Cannot speak highly enough of this centre and their wonderful team. They truly care and are so incredibly supportive and nurturing of both children and parents. Kylie and Grace show strong leadership and dedication to their work and it is reflected in the culture of the centre. Great open plan concept in the nursery rooms which is hard to come by. Team are always friendly and engaging ♥️

Response from the owner 01 Jul 2025

Thank you Erin! We feel incredibly lucky to have families like yours as part of our centre. Knowing that you feel supported and nurtured, not just as parents but as a whole family, is exactly what we strive for every day. Kylie and Grace will be so touched by your kind words. Their leadership and dedication set the tone for everything we do, and it’s wonderful to hear that it’s reflected in your experience. We’re also so glad you love the open-plan nursery—it’s something we’ve put a lot of thought into, and seeing it make a difference is so rewarding. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your support and trust mean everything to us.

i couldn’t be happier with the care my children receive here. Each staff have built such strong, genuine relationships with my children, which means so much to me! It’s clear how much effort they put in everyday. They have been supportive and communicative from the moment I enrolled them. It brings me a lot of peace knowing my babies are in caring hands. Thank you for all your hard work!

Response from the owner 30 Jun 2025

We’re so happy to hear how much you value the relationships we’ve built with your little ones. It means a lot to know that the effort we put in each day is felt and appreciated. From the moment you enrolled them, it’s been such a pleasure getting to know your family, and we’re so grateful for your trust. Knowing that you feel at peace leaving your babies in our care is the biggest compliment we could receive. Thank you for your kind words and ongoing support—it truly means everything to us! Thank you Abbey!
