Welcome to our Centre

Brand New Bellbowrie Centre – Opening May 2024!

We can’t wait to welcome you to our world-class Bellbowrie childcare centre. At Guardian Childcare & Education Bellbowrie in Brisbane, children aged six weeks to six years will be supported to be bold, creative and imaginative in their learning.

Located in the northern side of the Brisbane River, Guardian Bellbowrie is the ideal option for local families seeking high-quality care. It is also a great choice for families living in bordering suburbs, including Moggill, Anstead, Pinjarra Hills and Riverhills.

At our Guardian Bellbowrie early learning centre, delivering high quality education and care of children is our top priority. Children will be supported to explore their world safely within a secure, stimulating environment.

Our diverse team of Educators and degree-qualified Teachers will ensure care is tailored to each child’s needs with a hands-on approach to play-based learning.

Our Bellbowrie long day care centre will offer plenty of on-site parking, along with state-of-the-art facilities including:

  • Quality learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking, Sustainability and more
  • Five spacious indoor learning spaces full of high-quality educational resources
  • Expansive outdoor play spaces to explore
  • On-site Chef providing fresh snacks and meals daily

We’ll also provide nappies, SPF 50+ sunscreen, baby formula and bed linen.

Children will also have the chance to see the same familiar faces as they move on up from the nursery room, into our two-year Kindergarten program, designed to support each child to have a smooth transition from early learning to primary school.

From 1 January 2024, eligible children will receive up to 15 hours of free Kindergarten per week at our Centre, and up to 600 hours of free Kindergarten per year. This fee support is on top of any Child Care Subsidy eligible families may be receiving. To take advantage of this additional support children must be at least four years of age by 30 June in the year before they attend Primary School and be enrolled at an approved Kindergarten program for at least 2 days a week. Find more information here.

Building a connection with families is important to us. Through our unique Visible Learning Program, families will gain insights into their child’s education. Our Learning Exchange Display will provide the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share updates on your child’s progress. It will also be a chance for you to have direct input into your child’s learning!

Families will have access to our communication app Storypark, allowing us to share important Centre updates, as well as exciting activities or milestones – ensuring that you remain connected, day-to-day.

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.

  • Morning

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

  • Morning

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

  • Morning

    As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

  • Morning

    As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.

  • Morning

    There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

  • Mid-morning

    Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Afternoon

    There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

  • Afternoon

    Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

  • End of the day

    As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

  • End of the day

    Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.
