Website & socials

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Forrest

Guardian Childcare & Education Forest offers modern facilities for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. The teachers and educators run fantastic learning programs, including specialist kindergarten and preschool programs that help prepare the children for their exciting transition to school.

Well-established trees shade the outdoor area where the children can play with the water pump, explore the creek bed or the fort and help care for the vegetable gardens. The spacious areas include natural climbing structures for the children to have fun and help them develop motor skills such as balance, coordination, and agility.

The modern colourful spaces inside are equipped with a wide range of resources and activities to support different interests and learning through a play-based approach. The centre includes an art studio for the children to develop their creativity and a library full of books for the children to read and enjoy.

Conveniently located, the state-of-the-art centre is close to public transport. Ample street parking helps with pickup and drop-off times for busy parents and caregivers. Why not book a tour of this caring and homely centre today?

Programs

The centre programs revolve around the interests and skills of the children. The educators take a personalised approach to get to know each child, their needs and what interests them most. They then tailor the program to match.

With a mix of structured and unstructured play, the educators embed important foundational learning and skills throughout the day. What may seem like fun and play to the children or even to an outside observer, the educators carefully plan activities with real learning benefits. Whether it’s counting the chairs to put out at lunch or practising social skills through dress up play, the children are always growing, learning and developing.

Community is also a strong focus in the program. The educators make the most of their community connections to plan engaging incursions and excursions for the children to enjoy. This enhances their sense of belonging as they develop an understanding of the world around them.
