Toddlers (2 to 3)

A safe, supportive space for toddlers to thrive

At Guardian, your child’s safety and wellbeing are our highest priority. Our Toddler program, designed for children aged two to three, offers an engaging, nurturing environment where children feel secure and confident. Through strong relationships, predictable routines and play-based learning, we support toddlers to build key social and emotional skills as they take important steps towards school and beyond.

To BE Me: Our Personalised Approach to Learning

To BE Me is Guardian’s bespoke learning program, designed to support your child through each age and stage of their early years. The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along our Learning and Development Pathways.

Understanding your child at every stage

At each stage of your child’s early life, they have different needs and display quite distinctive behaviours.

Toddlers need to move around and are enthusiastic and energetic learners who want to know, feel, touch and delight in the world around them.

We support our toddlers to move between inspiring spaces that bring them together with their peers. We provide them with choices to grow their interests and inspire new ideas to share.

Our Seven Areas of Learning

To BE Me groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see their progress clearly. Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.

Partnering with Families at Every Step

We believe the best outcomes happen when we work closely with families. That’s why we build strong relationships from the start, and keep you connected every step of the way.

• My Learning and Development Book – a personalised book for each child that contains Development Pathways with common development milestones for each age and stage. For every milestone, there is also a list of Observed Behaviours which are things our team may see your child doing, indicating they have reached the milestone on the pathway.  
• Trusted, qualified educators who get to know your child well
• Predictable daily routines to help toddlers feel safe, confident, and ready to explore.
