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.
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.
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.
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
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.
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
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.
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.
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.
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about 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.

Learn more about Guardian Homebush
Guardian Childcare & Education Homebush is spacious and light, with glass walls and large windows overlooking the beautiful landscape of Sydney Olympic Park. Our outdoor space is surrounded by native plants and birds, and is covered by beautiful parasols to allow year-round play. We have two large sandpits, climbing equipment, wooden decking with cubby houses, as well as beautiful gardens. The children especially love tending to our herb garden and worm farm!
Inside you will notice our unique social piazza – a middle room onto which all the other rooms connect. Each day we open all the doors so the children can mix freely with other age groups, including their siblings. Our project work is all around the centre, which is based on the children’s current interests while also covering all areas of the curriculum.
Due to our fantastic location, we often venture out into our community. We take the children to Bicentennial Park to feed the ducks, go on road safety walks, and the preschoolers visit the primary school. We also regularly visit our neighbours who save milk bottles, lids and wooden crates for us to make wonderful creations like plant pots, treasure baskets, and even igloos!
We love holding family fun days such as afternoon teas, and parties for special holidays and festivals. All family and friends are invited, which creates a fabulous community atmosphere.
Day to day, families are welcome to visit their children any time. You can stay for a meal or play session, or take them out for lunch. To keep your mind at ease, we can call or email you during the day with an update on your child’s wellbeing. You can also book meetings with our Educators throughout the year to discuss your child’s development one-on-one.
Our Educators are friendly, welcoming and know each and every family member by name. They can also speak two languages, which helps children from different cultures to feel confident and settled in our care.
At Guardian Homebush we welcome families and children into our Centres from the moment we meet. The welcome experience begins from the first conversation as we start to form the foundation of a strong partnership between our educators, families and children.
We love welcoming new families to Guardian, and we’re confident our unique approach to combining education, play and care will be the difference you’re looking for.
The first five years of your child’s life are incredibly important when it comes to social and emotional development, and setting them up with a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. That’s why at Guardian Homebush we’re focused on teaching children how to learn versus just ticking a box.
With a focus on care and education, we’re here to help you get the absolute most out of your childcare experience. Read more about why you should choose Guardian Childcare and Education for your family.
If you’re thinking of enrolling, we’d encourage you to book a tour today.
During your tour you will have the opportunity to meet the Centre Manager, Educators and have a really good look around the Centre while the team answer any questions you may have. We even have a list of questions you can ask the centre to make sure it’s the right fit for you and your family.
If you are not ready to enrol, or is there are no places available at the Centre of your choice, you will be able to join our waitlist and stay up to date with vacancies and Centre news. It can be heartbreaking to miss out on a place at your top Centre, so remember to put your child’s name down on the waitlist early (some people do it when the child is born), and confirm your requirements as regularly as possible.

Our Learning Programs
Learning should be fun! Learning through play encourages children to explore and understand their world at their own pace. It helps build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Our specialist two-year kindergarten/preschool program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.
Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.
Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.
Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.
Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.
Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.
From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.
