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 couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Guardian Leopold Kindergarten, from day one, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to our children’s needs. The environment is both nurturing and stimulating, with plenty of creative play, structured learning, and outdoor time Both my Children have grown so much in the short period of being there. One in the Nursery and another in Kinder 4 they’ve grown socially, emotionally, and academically, since starting. The educators are truly passionate and always keep us updated on progress and milestones. I feel confident dropping them off each day, knowing they’re in caring and capable hands. (My kid even pushes me out the door now ) Highly recommend Leopold Kinder to any family looking for a positive and enriching early learning experience. Cannot fault them.
