Guardian Childcare & Education Kinfolk Albury

(Formerly Kinfolk Early Learning)

Guardian Childcare & Education Kinfolk Albury is an architecturally designed Centre located in the heart of Albury. The Centre has been purpose-built to deliver high quality care and education to children aged from six weeks to six years.

The large, light filled piazza is a communal area housing our central kitchen. It is also home to the Guardian Kinfolk Albury creative space, the Atelier, which provides a dedicated area for children to explore and interact with resources and each other.

Detailed attention has been placed on planning each indoor and outdoor space at the Centre with a focus on nature and sustainability. Our Centre has been designed to stimulate children’s creativity, exploration and sense of belonging.

Teachers and Educators at Guardian Kinfolk Albury also provide wonderful learning programs for the children, including a leading Preschool Program for those preparing for the transition to primary school.

Every element of Guardian Kinfolk Albury has been designed with your child at the heart of their early learning experience. This is supported by our world-class curriculum and is inspired by the internationally renowned Reggio Emilia.

We want your children to be cared for, educated and to experience a sense of belonging. We support this by providing Enrichment Programs at no extra cost, embedded into your child’s daily curriculum. These include; Sustainability, Social and Emotional, Music and Movement, Community Art and also through cooking experiences conducted by our wonderful Chef.

We believe in the importance of our community and the rich resources our local region brings. We respect and value the richness that diversity in our community offers, from the Wiradjuri culture of our region to the welcoming of international traditions.

Rhythm of The Day

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.

  • Morning

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

  • Morning

    Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

  • Morning

    As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

  • Morning

    As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.

  • Morning

    There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

  • Mid-morning

    Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Afternoon

    There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

  • Afternoon

    Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

  • End of the day

    As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

  • End of the day

    Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.
