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
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.

I saw a toddler crying with running nose coming towards us and no one consoled him. While we stood in the foyer, I looked at the kitchen and it had food scrapes on the floor and looked like was not cleaned for a while. Also, the center manager was constantly on her computer, doesn't even bother to greet families. They employ male staff, and in the recent wake of events, we would not send our child to such a center.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the rooms are spotless, and the variety of educational toys is impressive.

We went for a tour recently and unfortunately I witnessed an educator force-feeding puréed food to a hysterically screaming/ crying baby in the nursery…sorry but that’s cruel and a choking hazard as he could have breathed in food during all that crying. That poor baby clearly wasn’t in a state to eat and the educator looked annoyed and didn’t console the baby. That’s when we decided we would never put our baby in that nursery. Read more

My two boys (4&2) have attended the Point Cook East centre since they were young (12/5 months old). The management and educators are sensational. The centre is warm, welcoming and provides a stimulating and meaningful environment for my boys. Staff are friendly and have a wide variety of experience in the field. Management are approachable and always there for a chat. Communication is always open and honest. Currently my eldest is in 3yr old kinder, he will continue onto 4yr old kinder and his development has been staggering. I look forward to giving my youngest this same experience when he is 3. Highly recommend to all families looking for a wonderful centre. I wouldn’t look anywhere else ❤️ Read more
