Welcome to Guardian Childcare and Education St Ives

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education St Ives, a new, purpose-built, spacious childcare and daycare centre in Sydney’s upper north shore. Our early childhood education programs are focused on play-based learning, and the Centre provides a nurturing and safe environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age, supporting them to discover the world in a safe and secure way.

Easily accessible from Hunter Avenue and Eastern Arterial Road, our St Ives early learning centre is conveniently located near a number of bus stops, and we also offer undercover onsite parking; making it easier for families during pick up/drop off. 

Our centre offers:

  • Quality learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking and Sustainability
  • Engaging indoor learning spaces full of quality educational resources
  • Expansive outdoor play spaces with a sandpit, bike track, cubby house and veggie garden
  • On-site Chef providing fresh snacks and meals daily

  • Extended hours of care each weekday from 7:00am to 6:00pm

The New South Wales Government offers funding to provide families fee relief of up to $2174 per child aged three and above, and up to $515 per year for children aged three. This support is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

Programs

The centre programs revolve around the interests and skills of the children. The educators take a personalised approach to get to know each child, their needs and what interests them most. They then tailor the program to match.

With a mix of structured and unstructured play, the educators embed important foundational learning and skills throughout the day. What may seem like fun and play to the children or even to an outside observer, the educators carefully plan activities with real learning benefits. Whether it’s counting the chairs to put out at lunch or practising social skills through dress up play, the children are always growing, learning and developing.

Community is also a strong focus in the program. The educators make the most of their community connections to plan engaging incursions and excursions for the children to enjoy. This enhances their sense of belonging as they develop an understanding of the world around them.
