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.

My child has been attending Guardian Paradise for almost 4 years now, and we chose it because friends were in love with the space, the staff and the learning done. I am so glad we made this choice. The staff are knowledgeable, experienced and genuinely care about my child and our family. The learning experiences that are held every day are amazing, and I have watched my child thrive and grow into the most amazing little human under their guidance. The food is amazing (though I do need to figure out what sorcery the kitchen staff use that helps my child eat vegetables.....seriously, tell me your secret!), and the care is next level. Thank-you all for everything you have done to look after O. You have made being a working mum easier knowing that there are amazing people watching out for him <3 Read more
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words Carly! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much your family has loved being part of our community over the past four years. Watching your child grow into an amazing little human has been such a joy for our team, and we’re honoured to have played a part in that journey. Our educators are passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences and nurturing strong relationships, so it’s wonderful to hear that this has made a difference for your child and your family, and we’ll definitely pass on your compliments to our talented kitchen team, though their veggie magic might just remain a closely guarded secret! Thank you again for your trust and support. It means the world to us to know we’ve helped make your experience as a working mum a little easier. We love having your family as part of our community!

My wife and I had our first child about 8 months ago and fairly quickly started looking into childcare options as we both work full time. Our plan was to look at multiple options and choose which one best passed our vibe-check. We started with Guardian Paradise. We got home after our tour, and decided we really didn't need to see any others - this place looked perfect. The staff were all absolutely lovely toward us, and that hasn't changed even months later. We're always greeted with a friendly smile, and it's so obvious that everyone in the centre absolutely adores our son. Being a mum is hard, especially when we both need to work to provide for our son. But knowing that we can take our son to Guardian Paradise and know he will be looked after, and get to participate in lots of fun activities that we just wouldn't have the time or energy for certainly reassures us that we are giving him a good start to his life. Each day our son is in childcare here, we get photos of the fun activities the nursery run for the babies, and we always see our son participating in them, having lots of fun. Even when we do drop-off and pick-up, there is always something interesting happening. Really glad to have this centre available to us, and I feel confident they do an amazing job of caring for our child. ❤️ Read more
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that our centre has been a perfect fit for your family. It's wonderful to know that our staff's warmth and dedication have made such a positive impact on your experience. We understand how challenging it can be to balance work and parenting, and we're glad to provide a supportive and engaging environment for your son. Seeing him enjoy the activities and knowing he's well cared for is exactly what we strive for. Your confidence in our care means the world to us. Thank you for choosing Guardian Paradise and for sharing your experience. We look forward to continuing to support your family and watching your son grow and thrive!

We feel treated like family, not just another customer. Centre management are always accommodating and the room educators are amazing. Have dealt with the same team of core educators since our start and the centre seemingly has very minimal staff turnover providing great consistency for our little one - this was an important factor for us when we were choosing a centre! Can't recommend Guardian Paradise enough :) Read more
