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.

A child centered practice that harmoniously incorporates information and feed back from parents to nurture the child to reach their full potential. Staff are dedicated to providing a safe environment for children to grow into life long learners. I love how passionate the educators and the management are. Feel empowered being in the company of these amazing people who advocate for children in every aspect.

It took us many tours to find the perfect centre for our daughter to go too and we are so glad we chose Guardian Ridgehaven. There are no tears at drop off but instead there are welcoming smiley staff. Thank you to the nursery staff at welcoming our daughter into the centre and giving us faith and trust that she is being well looked after. Naps, bottles, food etc are always clearly communicated to us at pick up. We also love the app Storypark for cute photo updates. The effort and care you put in is recognised. You have made my return back to work that tad bit easier knowing my daughter is being well cared for. Thank you to Tracey and the amazing nursery 1 staff!

We are "consistently" impressed with the exceptional customer service provided. After exploring various childcare centers (since I was still pregnant), we consistently find Guardian Ridgehaven to be superior in every aspect! May I just say that the exceptional tour and their warm welcome to the parents make them more special compared to other centres we visited. We are so happy with this childcare centre after our daughter’s first week. As parents, it’s never easy leaving your baby in someone else’s care, but the educators made the transition so comforting and reassuring. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, and the environment feels safe, nurturing, and welcoming. We already feel confident that our baby is in good hands. May I add that the facility is very pretty! Thank you for making such a big milestone feel so positive.

Response from the owner 29 Jan 2026

Your warm review is greatly appreciated Dee. The way you described your experience, from touring the centre while still expecting your little one to now settling in after the first week, really reflects the care and connection the team aims to provide. It means so much to hear that the welcome you received stood out compared to other centres you visited and that this first impression continued once your daughter began attending. As parents, taking that first step of leaving your baby in someone else’s care can feel overwhelming, and knowing the educators helped make that transition comforting and reassuring is incredibly meaningful to the team. Your comments about their attentiveness, genuine warmth and the sense of safety and nurturing you felt will be deeply valued. It is also lovely to hear that you found the environment inviting and thoughtfully presented, as creating a space that feels calm and welcoming for both children and families is so important. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback and for trusting the team during such a significant milestone for your family!
