About Guardian Childcare & Education Caloundra

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Caloundra, a bright and modern early learning centre located in Caloundra West on the Sunshine Coast. Ideally positioned for families in nearby suburbs including Bellvista, Corbould Park, Baringa and Little Mountain. We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Caloundra West. 

Our To BE Me learning program helps you see your child’s learning adventure in a whole new light. Their pathway is personalised, with every milestone captured in a way that makes the link between play and learning clear and memorable. 

The Queensland Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of free kindergarten a week (40 weeks per year). The funding off sets the fees for children who turn four years old by 30 June in the year before they attend primary school. This support is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees.

We understand how big those first steps into childcare are, and our Baby Ambassador and expert Nursery team is here to make the transition calm and reassuring for both you and your baby. 

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.  

Families trust us to provide safe childcare with the highest standards of safety and care in our centre.

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 have had such a wonderful experience with this daycare. All of the ladies have been so kind, caring and understanding, and they are always happy to help with any questions I have straight away. Since attending, I have seen such a positive growth in my child’s development, confidence and learning. It gives me so much comfort knowing my child is in such great care every day. We truly appreciate everything the team does and highly recommend them to other families.

My little one has been attending guardian for a year now. As a first time mum I was so nervous to start daycare. But all the educators at Guardian have been so supportive and caring to my boy, especially the educators in nursery. We’ve had a few sad drop offs but it’s so comforting getting a story park update of him happily playing or eating breakfast and knowing he settled quickly after I left. Communication with management has always been easy and consistent. And the staff turnover has been very minimal. Very grateful to have had such a positive experience at guardian, thank you!

Unfortunately, it was not a positive one for my family. When my daughter started attending, I felt that she was not properly welcomed or supported during her settling-in period. I was also disappointed to see that some meals offered to a one-year-old included items like ham, which I did not consider appropriate for her age. My daughter became increasingly distressed at drop-offs and seemed very unhappy during the time she attended. While I understand that every child is different and experiences may vary, this was ours.

Just want to thank the entire team for the amazing care provided to our little loves and family. We have been attending this centre for over 5 years with our first child attending from baby to kindy, and our second child growing from baby and now in toddler room. Your hard work and progress is not unnoticed and our children are thriving. So thank you and be proud of the hard work you do everyday!

I can’t thank this daycare enough for the love and patience they’ve shown my son. Drop-offs were always hard for us, as he would get very upset, but the educators were so understanding and comforting every single time. They took the time to reassure him and soon he began settling in happily. It’s such a relief knowing he is cared for by people who truly put the children first. The communication, kindness, and genuine care here are outstanding — I feel so grateful we found this centre. My son now shows so much excitement to go, has come so far in his communication and loves his educators.
