Guardian Macquarie Park is rated as exceeding in the National Quality Standard. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including a thriving vegetable patch, wooden pallet climbing frames, natural structures and a range of age-specific play areas, children are encouraged to explore and learn.
The light-filled centre also features an art studio, lighting experiences and backs onto a quiet, leafy reserve which the children love. Children at Guardian Macquarie Park enjoy exploring our community on regular excursions to the hospital, the local shops and the offices within our building to collect recyclables for our sustainability learning experiences.
Teachers and Educators at Guardian Macquarie Park also provide wonderful learning programs for the children, including a leading Preschool Program for those preparing for the transition to primary school.
We are proud to have a culturally diverse team, with one of our Educators speaking fifteen languages fluently! This is an incredible opportunity for the children to extend their knowledge of language and the world around them, as we also embrace and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year.
Kids Gourmet Food, an esteemed catering company, delivers fresh meals to the Centre daily, while our dedicated team of Educators organise breakfast and late snacks for the children.
