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 couldn’t be happier with the care and support our daughter, Macey, receives at Guardian Daw Park. From the very first day, the educators have gone above and beyond to make her feel safe, welcomed, and excited to learn. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing. It’s clear how dedicated the director and educators are—not only to helping the children learn, but also to nurturing their confidence and individuality. Macey lights up when she talks about her day and the wonderful activities they do, and we’ve noticed so much growth in her independence and social skills since starting. The communication with families is excellent, and we always feel informed and included. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing that Macey is surrounded by caring, passionate educators who truly love what they do. We are incredibly grateful to the Guardian Daw Park team for creating such a positive, supportive environment. Highly recommend!

Staff are second to none, and create a great daily environment. The communication to parents is exemplary. Physically the Centre has lots of indoor and outdoor spaces, and they cater to any allergies in their freshly made meals.

We have attended Guardian for 5 yrs starting when it opened. It’s a home away from home ! So appreciate the educators who take such pride and joy in developing each and every child. Always having a smile on their face no matter the time of day or situation they in. It really takes a special kind of person to do this each and every day! To the manager and her support staff - nothing is a problem and where they can assist they will. Very approachable! The chef is a firm favourite with the kids and the meals he makes! Overall grateful for Guardian Daw Park!

Response from the owner 10 Dec 2023
