Get To Know Us

Programs

Programs

The centre programs revolve around the interests and skills of the children. The educators take a personalised approach to get to know each child, their needs and what interests them most. They then tailor the program to match.

With a mix of structured and unstructured play, the educators embed important foundational learning and skills throughout the day. What may seem like fun and play to the children or even to an outside observer, the educators carefully plan activities with real learning benefits. Whether it’s counting the chairs to put out at lunch or practising social skills through dress up play, the children are always growing, learning and developing.

Community is also a strong focus in the program. The educators make the most of their community connections to plan engaging incursions and excursions for the children to enjoy. This enhances their sense of belonging as they develop an understanding of the world around them.

Meet the team

Meet the team

The team at the centre is made up of a mix of accredited Teachers, experienced Lead Educators and passionate Educational Leaders. No matter the role they play in the team, each and every person is dedicated to nurturing and supporting the children in their care.

Unique to Guardian Childcare & Education is the role of Baby Ambassador. It is the Baby Ambassador’s role to get to know the youngest children at the centre and ensure their needs are met each and every day. They also liaise with the families to give added peace of mind that their baby is happy and well during the day.

The team is the heart of the centre. Each member is valued for the individual skills they bring to the team and the contribution they make. For this reason, staff turnover is low ensuring a consistent experience for the children. 

 

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

At Guardian Childcare & Education, parents are invited to be directly involved in their children’s time at the centre. Parents can join their children for breakfast when they drop them off or come in at other times to share meals. They are also invited to join the children on excursions or at other events.

In the centre, parents will find Visible Learning Displays. This helps to track the children’s progress and provides a connection point to spark conversations between parents and educators. Parents and educators also use the StoryPark app for communication with the educators providing regular updates via this platform.

We couldn’t be happier with the care and support our daughter, Macey, receives at Guardian Daw Park. From the very first day, the educators have gone above and beyond to make her feel safe, welcomed, and excited to learn. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing. It’s clear how dedicated the director and educators are—not only to helping the children learn, but also to nurturing their confidence and individuality. Macey lights up when she talks about her day and the wonderful activities they do, and we’ve noticed so much growth in her independence and social skills since starting. The communication with families is excellent, and we always feel informed and included. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing that Macey is surrounded by caring, passionate educators who truly love what they do. We are incredibly grateful to the Guardian Daw Park team for creating such a positive, supportive environment. Highly recommend!

Staff are second to none, and create a great daily environment. The communication to parents is exemplary. Physically the Centre has lots of indoor and outdoor spaces, and they cater to any allergies in their freshly made meals.

We have attended Guardian for 5 yrs starting when it opened. It’s a home away from home ! So appreciate the educators who take such pride and joy in developing each and every child. Always having a smile on their face no matter the time of day or situation they in. It really takes a special kind of person to do this each and every day! To the manager and her support staff - nothing is a problem and where they can assist they will. Very approachable! The chef is a firm favourite with the kids and the meals he makes! Overall grateful for Guardian Daw Park!
