Guardian Childcare & Education Springfield Southern Cross Circuit

Guardian Childcare & Education Springfield Southern Cross Circuit is NOW OPEN. Our childcare centre is conveniently situated for families living in surrounding suburbs such as Springfield Central, Spring Mountain and Springfield Lakes. Easily accessible from Centenary Highway, our beautiful purpose-built space is close to fantastic shopping centres and the local aquatic centre – making it the perfect early learning centre for children aged six weeks to six years.

Children are supported with an environment in which they are enabled to explore and discover their world in a safe and secure way. The Centre features 10 expansive, light-filled learning spaces, including a nursery room, dedicated art spaces and a range of age-specific play areas and outdoor areas including a water pump, herb and vegetable gardens, yarning circles and sandpits.

Offering longer care hours for busier families, children will also have ample opportunities to connect with their fellow peers, having access to a dedicated piazza area for families and children to all socialise with each other every day during pickup and drop off!

Focusing on play-based learning, our highly dedicated and experienced team of Teachers and Educators implement a personalised approach to learning, ensuring that each child receives the best possible care tailored to their own needs.

Children will also have the chance to see the same familiar faces as they move on up from our nursery rooms, into our Kindergarten program, designed specifically to help prepare your child for a smooth transition from early learning to Primary school.

As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families will also have the ability to gain an understanding of their child’s education. Found directly near the entrance of our childcare, our Learning Exchange Display provides the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share with you any updates on your child’s progress. It’s also a chance for you to share with us any of your own goals so that you have direct input on your child’s learning!

Families will also be given access to our family communication app StoryPark, a wonderful tool that will allow us to share with you any important updates that happen within the centre, as well as any other exciting activities or milestones that your child encounters – ensuring that you always 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.
