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.
Our Nursery Program is a partnership with your family to ensure every detail of your child’s care supports a healthy, happy baby.
• Baby Welcome when you first start. This touches every aspect of their first 12 months in a Centre.
• Familiarity with the rhythm of day provides a sense of security and builds self-confidence.
• Safe sleep supports physical and cognitive development and emotional wellbeing.
• Our Baby Ambassador is your go to person for your baby's first 12 months with us. They will know every detail about your baby.

Our bespoke To BE Me program has a two-year Kindergarten/Preschool program that meets the National Quality Standard and the National Quality Framework. It offers the support, structure, and inspiration your child needs to thrive. It is called Flying Start to School.
Our unique program for children aged 3-4 and 4-5 years old ensures they are supported to develop the important emotional, social, and thinking skills they need to make A Flying Start to School.
Our structured educational program across 7 areas of learning has been carefully designed to meet your child’s individual needs and we use our Development Pathways to ensure it is relevant to your child’s age and stage of development.

Speak to us about state-based government funding in participating states.
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.
