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.

This childcare centre was our first visit when looking for a place for our daughter to spend the day and learn with other kids in the local community. We didn’t go anywhere else after the tour, the staff was great and welcoming, the facilities are clean. We are very happy with this place to be our girl’s first learning centre. The food is amazing too !! 100% recommend Read more
We’re so happy to hear that your first visit felt so right—it’s the biggest compliment that you didn’t feel the need to look anywhere else! Our team puts a lot of love into creating a warm, welcoming space where little ones can learn, grow, and feel at home, so it’s wonderful to know your daughter is thriving here. And we’re so glad the food is a hit too—our chefs will be thrilled to hear that! 😊 Thanks again for your kind words and recommendation. It truly means the world to us.

Even though it took him about four months to really stop crying when I was dropping him off, after just a few weeks I already saw him enjoying the place at pickup time. After a few months, he would run away from me every time he saw me coming for him — at least that was a good sign he didn’t want to leave! All the amenities are in good condition, and their open backyard is where my boy enjoys himself the most. The educators are lovely, and he has already bonded with a few of them. I love the fact that I receive daily photos of my toddler — seeing him grow and enjoy time with his peers makes my day. I’ve had a good experience here, and I can tell everyone takes great care of him, always greeting him with a big smile and a warm welcome. Special thanks to Maria, who from day one made me feel absolutely comfortable when she showed me around, giving me the trust that my boy would be in a good place. Read more
Maria, it means the world to us to hear how much your little one has grown to love his time here. We know how emotional those early drop-offs can be, so it’s incredibly rewarding to see him now running off to play and enjoying his days with us. We're so glad you’ve felt supported and welcomed, especially by Maria, who will be thrilled to hear your kind words. The daily photos are one of our favorite ways to stay connected with families, and we’re so happy they brighten your day. Thank you again for your trust and for being such a wonderful part of our community!
