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.

We are coming to the end of 7 years at Guardian Kew East across our 3 children. It is always daunting to hand over your kids to strangers but the transitions have been made smooth with welcoming & reassuring educators assisting us all. There were some ups & downs with a lot of staff turnover during the pandemic but the current management team are supportive & responsive, & the kinder educators have provided a wide variety of fun & educational learning opportunities in a nurturing environment.

Response from the owner 16 Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience, Amy. We truly appreciate your family’s support over the past seven years and understand how significant it is to entrust your children’s care to others. It’s reassuring to hear that the transitions were made smoother by welcoming and supportive educators and that you felt guided through that journey. We also appreciate your honesty around the challenges during the pandemic and are pleased to know that the current leadership and team have been responsive and supportive. It’s wonderful to hear that the kindergarten program has provided engaging, fun, and educational experiences in a nurturing environment. Thank you for your trust and for being part of our community for so many years.

Highly recommend this centre we love it here. I have been to a few tours in the area and didn’t go well but when you walk into this centre you feel the warmth and the educators genuinely care for the kids that attend this centre. Agnes (centre manager) she is great very friendly and easy to talk to explains things in detail. Lily Agnes 2IC they run the centre so well with assistance of Kevin. My child is in the Kindergarten group Amy and Fei they are amazing teachers they always keep me updated with my child learning journey etc. Amber and Cheryl also are in the Kindy room all though they teach 3 yr old but they always there to help regardless my child loves Amy Fei Cheryl and Amber. All other educators are great always great you with a smile and it’s never to much trouble. It will be sad when we leave the centre.

Response from the owner 16 Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, Vicki. We’re really grateful for your recommendation and for sharing how welcomed and supported you’ve felt, especially after visiting other services. It’s wonderful to hear that the warmth of the environment and the genuine care from the educators stood out to you from the moment you arrived. Your kind words about Agnes, Lily, Kevin, and the wider team are truly appreciated, and it’s lovely to know how supported you’ve felt through clear communication and day to day care. We’re also so pleased to hear how positive your experience has been in the kindergarten space and how connected your child feels with Amy, Fei, Amber, and Cheryl. Knowing your child feels happy, supported, and loved means so much to us, and your feedback will be shared with the team. We’re grateful to have had your family as part of our community.

I looked at so many childcare centres in the area and this one had the best vibe. I am so happy with the level of care provided - it has absolutely exceeded my expectations! My son loves attending and is so happy to see the team! Every single team member there treats myself and my son with so much respect and care!
