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 7:00am
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 7:00am
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 cook.
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 cook. 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 before 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.

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 & Education Market Street (Darling View) is conveniently located in the heart of the CBD, next to the Queen Victoria Building and Town Hall train station.
Designed for exploration and adventure, our outdoor space has ample room for group play, as well as little nooks for hide and seek, plus gives the children an opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of their urban environment. The children love to play outside on the open-air deck, where they can take in the sights and sounds of the bustling city around them.
The buddy program at our early learning centre partners older children with younger children to help them develop their self-help skills such as feeding, cleaning up, creating games and more.
Our relationships with families are important to us and we encourage families to meet with us during the year to develop shared goals for their child, and to enjoy our breakfast and afternoon tea events with other families. Our door is always open, and you are welcome to come by or phone us at any time throughout the day.
Connecting to the community around them, children will engage in a variety of activities such as visiting a local fruit shop in the morning, helping in fundraising activities for a number of charities, or popping in to Queens View Early Learning Centre — our ‘sister centre’ located right next door — or visiting one of our other education and childcare centres in the Sydney CBD.
Each day our on-site cook prepares fresh and seasonal home-style meals. The children love assisting in the process, and discovering different tastes and textures along the way.
Coming along on a tour and Orientation Day before your child enrols is a great way to get to know our educators, and to get a feel for our kindergarten.
To find out more about the special experiences at our Centre, drop by and meet our wonderful team. Looking something closer to your office? We also have a range of other early learning centres in Sydney and North Sydney.
