Guardian Childcare & Education Barangaroo

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.

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.

Guardian Childcare Barangaroo is an early learning centre that services the Sydney CBD.  

The team at Guardian Childcare & Education Barangaroo have worked together for two years and are supportive of each other with shared values and goals. Between us we speak Chinese, Spanish, Hindi plus a whole host of other languages and have qualifications over and above the legislative requirements. 

We are focused on building a community, which is especially important for a CBD service such as ours. Families are welcome to join in on our excursions, story time or pop in throughout the day. Our breakfast program invites families to join their children for breakfast, meet other families, spend time with the educators and see their child’s favourite resources, art works and more. 

In further collaboration, the service implements its nutritious food policy through working with families. Educators actively promote healthy eating and eliminate the use of high sugar and salt and use mealtimes for intentional teaching about healthy foods. The centre has an open kitchen where children are able to watch the cooking process and even become involved in the preparation of meals. 

Our regular excursions are a great way for children to connect with the local community. With visits to the Barangaroo reserve, museums, the aquarium, cafes and restaurants, children will experience first hand the people and places of the CBD. 

We know that starting at a new early learning centre can be a daunting time for families, so we provide three to four days of orientation designed to build the relationship between the centre, the family and the child. We’ll work with families to support the transition, discuss where they feel their child is developmentally and agree on where the child’s interests can be supported and challenged. And we will continually work with families to ensure their child is happy and well cared for throughout their time with us. 

The centre provides onsite pram and short-stay car parking to ensure a convenient pick up and drop off. 

Our children at Guardian Barangaroo recently had the honour of celebrating and recognising the local Gadigal Community who are the traditional owners of the land where Barangaroo now stands.  

The children were asked to create two art works that depicted the historical Indigenous culture with the theme of ‘Land’. These artworks were then turned into stencils and painted on the core of the new One Sydney Harbour tower building to live on as part of history – paying respect to the traditional people and their land. 

The artworks will be temporarily visible during the construction phase of the building (for 10-12 weeks). A perfect blank canvas for the children to show off their work for all of Sydney to see. The artwork features on the core of the building, which gives it strength. As the floors of the building are constructed the artworks will be covered, invisible, yet a permanent part of the history of One Sydney Harbour. The artworks will then be reinterpreted as a symbol to feature on the side of the completed building.
