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.

My daughter has been attending Guardian Childcare & Education Tarneit Grand Central since the day the centre opened, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. She is learning so much, and the team are fantastic at keeping families updated through Storypark and chatting with us at pick-up about what she has learned during the day. After having six weeks of holidays, she resettled back into care with ease, which made us as parents feel really comfortable.We know she is happy and feels safe there, as she is always active and excited to see us at pick-up. A special mention to Sandra, for her awesome cooking skills and daily updates on menus. Also special mentions to Munfarah and Sharmin, who are amazing educators, who warmly welcome my child every time they see her. The centre is always clean and provides lots of engaging activities for the children each day. 😊

My child has been attending the childcare from past 7 months and we have had a great experience. Since then we have noticed wonderful progress in our kid’s communication, object identification, being independent eater and developing social skills. Most of the educators are very caring, patient and engaging kids in some activity throughout the day which I love about this centre.

After visiting a few Daycare Centres, we only chose Guardian Tarneit Grand Central for our son and couldn't be happier with our decision. From the moment we toured the centre for the very first time, we loved the friendly atmosphere and were welcomed by Tegan who explained everything in detail and eased our worries to help settle our son. Her communication skills were truly outstanding. My son started going to Nursery and is now in Toddler 1. All his educators are very friendly and caring. Saba is amazing with her knowledge, skills and provided exceptional care for my son in Nursery Room. In Toddler 1, I am highly satisfied with Munfarah and Sharmin. They both put a lot of effort in providing the best care possible for all the little ones and I feel very satisfied, knowing that my son is safe and secure. Sharmin and Munfarah always tells me about how my son's day went and happily answer my queries. All the staff of GTGC is wonderful. The chef Sandra is beyond amazing in her cooking skills and always welcomes with a beautiful smile. Choosing GTGC was the best decision we made for our son 😊 and I have also recommended this centre to my friends 😊
