Guardian Childcare & Education Haberfield

Guardian Childcare & Education Haberfield is in Sydney’s Inner West, conveniently located on Parramatta Road and within short driving distance to families living in Ashfield, Leichhardt, Five Dock and Lilyfield. The Centre has a range of exciting, resource-rich environments – including a community library and rooftop yard, as well as a strong focus on sustainability.

At Guardian Haberfield children are encouraged to explore and learn in the incredible spacious environment, which boasts a natural mud kitchen, a water pump, bike paths, vegetable gardens, and a range of age-specific workshops and studios.

Read more about the Guardian Haberfield commitment to sustainability in our blog about worms and composting.

The Centre has a proud and culturally diverse team who celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays. Children often get out and about on excursions, fostering great connections and partnership with the local Inner West community. Favourite destinations include Rafael’s Bakery, our local library and visits to Haberfield public school for our Preschool children, who also benefit from our leading Preschool Programs.

On-site cook, Dian, prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. With a Certificate III in Childcare, Dian also loves working with the children throughout the day and hosting exciting hands-on cooking experiences.

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.

  • From 7:00am

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.

  • From 7:00am

    Breakfast time where children can have a nourishing meal before starting their day.

  • Morning

    An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.

  • Morning

    Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.

  • Morning tea

    An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and chef.

  • Mid-morning

    Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Lunch

    Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our chef. Families are also invited to join the children for excursions throughout the day if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    If your child wants to, or needs to sleep, it’s time to rest and recharge. For children who don’t need to rest the planned experiences continue, in most cases outdoors.

  • Afternoon tea

    Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.

  • Pick-up

    As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.

  • End of day

    Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack before they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary, throughout the day if we notice your child looking tired food will be provided.

Our Educators

Our team of Educators are committed and passionate about ensuring your child will be safe, nurtured and cared for every day. At Guardian, children are encouraged to engage in interest-led play that creates learning and meaningful experiences.

Our Educators seek to optimise diverse learning opportunities and implement the Curriculum as framed by the Early Years Learning Framework.

You and Your Child

All Guardian Centres provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform so families can maintain contact with their children’s experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes.

Our Centres use Storypark and each family is provided with a secure login to access on their computers, mobiles or apps.

Learn More About Our Centre

Our Haberfield 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.
