The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.

Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.

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.

Guardian on Curtin St has been such a blessing for our family. The educators are kind, engaged and truly care about the children. You can feel it the moment you walk in. Our little boy thrives there; he feels safe, happy and excited to go every day. As parents, we feel completely supported and reassured knowing he’s surrounded by people who treat him like part of their own family. Guardian really is his second home, and we are so grateful for the team. The recent Christmas party was such a beautiful example of how much effort the team puts into creating fun, meaningful experiences for the children and families.
