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 experience with this centre has always been fantastic. I was very hesitant at the start moving my son from a previous centre into a very new, not even open yet Centre, but it was the best move that we did make. I was also very hesitant about sending my seven month old baby girl Into care so early (I didn’t send my son until her was over 2) but with a personal struggle that I did have with her they managed to help break that and both my children are flourishing within the centre and my relationship with my children hit a whole new and beautiful level. The relationships that both my children have with their educators is so amazing to see and the experience that I have with my professional relationships with their educators is An truly remarkable experience also, I really do appreciate all the staff from the kitchen through to management. Everyone is kind friendly and always very helpful. I would highly recommend my centre to anyone who asks whether their children should go there! For me it is a 100% yes!

We’ve been attending Guardian Gawler since it opened, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Our daughter has flourished in both the Toddler and now the Kindy space and it’s clear she absolutely loves it — she literally jumps out of the car and runs to the door each morning, full of excitement! She enthusiastically talks about her day when she gets home, and it’s clear how much thought and care the amazing educators put into creating engaging, fun, and educational experiences for the children. We also receive regular updates and photos throughout the day, which always make us smile and give great insight into all the wonderful activities they do. What really sets this centre apart is the open, honest, and thoughtful communication from the educators. Whether her day has been great or had its challenges, we always feel informed and supported. The management and every educator we've come across have been nothing but welcoming, approachable, and genuinely invested in our daughters wellbeing and development. There’s no more guilt at childcare drop-offs, just complete confidence and relief knowing our daughter is happy, safe, and thriving. It truly feels like a community, and we couldn’t recommend Guardian Gawler highly enough!

Response from the owner 03 Jul 2025

It’s truly special to hear how your daughter has flourished in both the Toddler and Kindy spaces — and knowing she jumps out of the car each morning, full of excitement, absolutely warms our hearts. Her enthusiasm and joy are a testament to the dedication and care our educators put into every day. We’re so glad the regular updates and photos bring smiles to your family — we love sharing those moments and giving you a window into all the fun, learning, and creativity happening throughout the day. Your kind words about our educators and their thoughtful communication mean so much. We believe that open, honest, and supportive dialogue is key to building trust and creating a true partnership with families, and it’s wonderful to know that you feel informed and supported, even on the more challenging days. There’s no greater compliment than knowing you feel confident and at ease during drop-offs, and that your daughter is happy, safe, and thriving. That sense of community you mentioned is exactly what we strive for, and we’re so grateful to have your family as part of it.

I have been sending my children to this centre since they were 5 months old and their faces light up every time we drive into the carpark. Guardian Gawler is so much more than a childcare centre, with a focus on early childhood education, we’ve seen our children grow confidently and curious of the world around them. We love the staff, everyone is so friendly!

Response from the owner 13 Jun 2025

Thank you Hilary for your beautiful words and continued trust in our centre! It means the world to us to hear that your children are excited to come each day — that’s exactly the kind of joy and curiosity we strive to nurture. We’re so proud to be part of their early learning journey and to watch them grow into confident, curious little learners. Your appreciation for our team truly brightens our day — we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to them!
