Guardian Childcare & Education Lane Cove

Guardian Childcare & Education Lane Cove boasts a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including herb and vegetable gardens, an outdoor stage, creek bed, water play, and a range of age-specific areas where children are encouraged to explore and learn.

Teachers and Educators at Guardian Lane Cove provide wonderful learning programs for the children aged six weeks to six years, including a leading Preschool Program for our older children preparing for the transition to primary school.

With a culturally diverse team of Educators at Guardian Lane Cove, we celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays in our Centre throughout the year. This provides the children with a great appreciation for diversity and the world around them.

Children at Guardian Lane Cove also get out and about on excursions at least twice a week, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We have two lovely parks and a library within walking distance of the Centre, so all age groups join in and these experiences are always greeted with excitement by the children and the locals we meet.

Our on-site cook, Ken, prepares three nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the Centre, Ken and our Educators host regular cooking classes for the children, which enhances their understanding of good nutrition.

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 7:30am

    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 7:30am

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

  • 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 invited to join the children for meals and excursions 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 or with siblings. 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 as 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.
