Guardian Childcare & Education Caringbah
Guardian Childcare & Education Caringbah is rated as exceeding in the National Quality Standard. Children learn most readily in an environment where they can experiment, enjoy and discover things for themselves. This intentional way of learning is exactly the kind of environment we’ve created at Guardian Caringbah. Our experienced Educators support learning and development by creating spaces that allow children to view the world differently; inventing, creating and imagining a whole new world of possibilities.
Our beautiful Centre is dedicated to the care of our future generations. Equipped with a large range of resources as well as indoor and outdoor spaces, our educators promote a sense of wonder and curiosity that leads to a lifelong love of learning. The Centre has a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including vegetable gardens, an inbuilt slide, climbing frames, a range of age-specific spaces and a beautiful rooftop garden.
At Guardian Caringbah, we focus on open ended and loose parts resources as they not only create endless opportunities for imagination but can also be adapted and manipulated, encouraging the development of fine motor skills. Our team of qualified and experienced Educators are big believers in ‘messy play,’ which is why our sand and mud pits are always available for the children to experience the joy of getting grubby. Experiencing sensory stimulation from running their hands through mud or jumping in puddles with abandon is priceless. This allows them to connect physically, learning through touch, smell and the occasional taste.
To explore our local community children participate in a range of excursions throughout the year. Our dedicated on-site cook prepares nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. Creating the menus is a very collaborative process, with many meals being inspired by home recipes from our families.
Children and families also have the added benefit of a Preschool Program led by quality teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.

Learn More About Our Centre expand_more
Our Caringbah centre offers a range of experiences through our childcare program that we believe are important for any child’s development in their early years. Our curriculum is modeled on the National Early Learning Years Framework which recognises the incredible value of investing in the first five years of a child’s life and the vital role that educators play in developing the whole child.
We aim to cater for children’s individual routines by practicing consistency between families’ homes and centres and by talking to parents about changes as children grow.
We ensure that all children have the opportunity to achieve and experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities in aesthetically pleasing environments designed for growing bodies and creative minds.
