Guardian Childcare & Education George Street
Guardian Childcare & Education George Street is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard and is one of seven Guardian Childcare Centres in the Sydney CBD. The Centre is conveniently located, being immediately accessible via Town Hall station – so commuting families can step off the train and walk directly into the Centre without leaving the building.
With a range of resource-rich environments, including a dedicated parents room, city views, and a range of age-specific play areas, Guardian George Street is city-based childcare that feels like home. At Guardian George Street, children and families also have the added benefit of a Preschool Program led by quality teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.
The children have the opportunity to get out and about into the Sydney CBD on fortnightly excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. Favourite locations amongst the children include Hyde Park, the library, nearby cafes, and our local fire station. We have strong ties with our surrounding Sydney CBD Guardian Centres, so the children are a part of a wider community.
Our on-site cook Kamille, or Milli as she is affectionately known, prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. According to the children at Guardian George Street, Milli is the “best cooker in the world!”
Milli often shares her famous and delicious recipes on the Guardian Learning Exchange, including her Yummy ANZAC biscuits, Banana in a Biscuit and flavoured bread! In addition, our educators host regular hands-on cooking classes for the children to extend their knowledge of nutrition and encourage them to try new foods.
