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.

The staff at Gaurdian Childcare & Education are wonderful. Very family friendly, happy and clean facility. The chef cooks everything from scratch and only uses fresh ingredients. The children are always doing new and exciting activities as well as developing their skills and imagination.

We have been extremely happy with the care and support provided by the team. Our child is very well looked after and the staff have been incredibly accommodating with their routine and individual needs. We receive daily updates about their day, including what they have been learning and participating in, which gives us great reassurance and helps us feel connected to our childs development. The handover process at the end of each day is always thorough and positive, and it’s clear the educators genuinely care about the children. Most importantly, our child is happy, thriving, and seems to be learning so much since starting here. We would highly recommend Guardian Manifold Heights to other families

Response from the owner 13 May 2026

Love this daycare centre. We recently moved and had to move our 2 and 5 year old, thinking it was going to be a really difficult transition but Manifold Guardian has been so supportive and kind and it has made a world of difference. The staff are so lovely and my children find such comfort there, they create so much fun and truly care about the wellbeing of the kids. Couldn’t recommend the centre and the lovely team more.

Response from the owner 13 May 2026

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Brigette. We are so pleased to hear your children have settled in so well after such a big transition for your family. Moving centres can be a huge change, so it means a lot to know our team has helped make the experience feel supportive and comforting for both you and your children. We truly care about creating a warm, fun and nurturing environment where children feel safe and happy, and your kind words about the team are incredibly appreciated. Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting us with your children’s care.
