The moment we knew Guardian Aspendale was opening up near our place it was a no brainer we definitely acted quickly to get my daughter in. Guardian Aspendale is our second Guardian centre for the kids and it was only due to moving interstate. Amber, Stacy and the team are amazing they have made the transition so easy and fun for our little one. Facilities are all new and the rooms and spaces are big and full of natural light - kids love it!! The team is so helpful and caring ❤ we love it here!!

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.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

We believe open, consistent communication with families is essential to every child’s learning and wellbeing. Our team builds strong, lasting partnerships with each family at the centre.

Personalised ‘My Learning and Development’ books track each child’s milestones and observed behaviours, with opportunities for families to share at-home observations.

Our online Storypark platform shares snapshots of learning and progress when you’re not at the centre.

Learning Exchange Displays in each room show weekly plans, experiences, and focus areas.

At year’s end or school transition, we provide a personalised summary of your child’s learning and development.

Together, we celebrate achievements, support growth, and keep you connected to your child’s learning journey.

Couldn’t recommend more highly. The team at Guardian Aspendale are what makes this place so great. They are kind and caring with a strong focus on supporting each child and their individual needs. The support this team has given to me over the past few months has really made a difference to our family and I consider them a part of my village. My 3 yr old loves it so much that he doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day.
