Guardian Childcare and Education Wanniassa offers the warmth and comfort of a family home, in Canberra’s southern suburbs. Our purpose-built outdoor space is accessible from every classroom and has plenty of room in which to run, ride and explore.
Our Canberra childcare centres like Wanniassa offer high-quality education and quality care in a spacious environment for children aged six weeks to six years. We provide a nurturing and stimulating space filled with bright materials that encourage exploration and curiosity as children safely discover the exciting world around them.
Children are supported through those important early years to explore and develop their social and emotional skills through their early learning journey by a dedicated team of university-qualified Teachers and Educators. They create learning experiences in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and imagination in a safe environment for young age groups.
Guardian Wanniassa is open from 6.30am to 6.30pm every weekday, so each family are provided with plenty of flexibility for the hours they work and the time they choose to drop off and pick up their child. During drop-off or pick-up times, we encourage you to stay for a little while and spend some time exploring the learning environment.
Our Educators and Teachers can show you the various play materials and education spaces throughout the Centre to help you discover our approach to learning as well as support you continue the learning with activities at home. We encourage involving the whole family in their child’s care and education to ensure they are happy as they learn and grow.
Our family communication app, Storypark, provides you with photos and updates on your child throughout the day, offering you the opportunity to stay informed about your child’s early learning and development. We also set up different learning outcomes for the children through Storypark, which supports them in achieving developmental milestones and understanding new ideas.
For children aged three and four, our Canberra childcare centres offer a preschool program led by university-qualified teachers to support your child’s preparation for primary school. Our preschool curriculum, grounded in leading child development research, reflects our commitment to providing the best possible start in life through quality child care services, including family day care.
Our Wanniassa child care program features a top-notch early childhood education curriculum led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible, research-supported manner. Our leading curriculum supports discovery, providing children with the best start in life and aligning with the National Quality Standard.
Through our high-quality Wanniassa preschool program, children have the opportunity to learn vital skills often introduced only in early primary school. We kick off the learning journey by exploring shapes, numbers, and letters through fun, play-based activities, making it an ideal choice for parents seeking preschool in Canberra.
We focus on developing each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared for the transition to primary school. Our high-quality childcare in Canberra addresses the needs and routines of every family, ensuring that each child’s cultural and family background is supported and celebrated.
We’re committed to children’s nutrition, and our on-site cook prepares each meal fresh and packed with all the nutrients that children need at their age. We encourage children to engage in food preparation and to ask questions about where their food comes from, why it’s good for them, and how they can eat it. We also encourage exploration of the cultural heritage behind different foods, helping promote diversity and inclusion from an early age.
As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families will be able to gain an understanding of their child’s education. Our Learning Exchange Display will provide the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share updates on your child’s progress. It will also be a chance for you to have direct input into your child’s learning!
