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.

Fantastic staff and carers! They have helped my son come out of his shell and be joyful again. He was bullied at his last childcare and was refusing to go, but now, every morning he is ready by the front door, excited for what the day holds ahead. I am so grateful for the staff, carers and teachers - they genuinely care about all the children.

To the wonderful team at Guardian Childcare & Education Ridgehaven, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team for the incredible care and support you provide to my son, Diondre Silva. It has been so encouraging to see how steadily he is growing, learning, and thriving under your guidance. Your dedication to nurturing and engaging young minds is truly evident. Diondre comes home each day happy, confident, and full of new ideas and words, a reflection of the meaningful experiences you create for him. I am deeply grateful for the hard work, patience, and passion shown by the Centre Manager and every member of the educator team. Thank you for creating such a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment for my child. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and I appreciate everything you do and I highly recommend this centre for any parent who is in search of an amazing centre for their child. Warm regards, Dilushi
