Welcome to our Centre

Brand new Centre – Now open!
We can’t wait to welcome you to our brand-new childcare centre in Camira; a place where your child will feel inspired to be creative, bold and imaginative in their learning.

Our Camira early learning centre in Ipswich is conveniently situated for families living near the eastern end of the city.

Our fresh, new, purpose-built early learning centre is situated in a family-friendly area with the peace of country living, but all the amenities of city living. Offering onsite parking, and close proximity to public transport, our Camira daycare and kindergarten is the ideal choice for children aged six weeks to six years.

Our top priority is the education and care of each child. Children are supported in a warm and stimulating environment in which they are able to explore their world in a safe and secure way. The dedicated and passionate Teachers and Educators at Guardian take a personalised approach to play-based learning, ensuring that each child receives the best possible care tailored to their individual needs.

Our exciting, resource-rich environments include:

  • State-of-the-art learning spaces full of high quality educational resources
  • Spacious outdoor area with a bike track, cubby house, tepee, and sandpit
  • Incredible programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking, Outdoor Learning, Out & About Community Excursions, Sustainability and more!
  • Specialist Baby Ambassador in the Nursery room – an expert on all things baby!
  • On-site Chef who cooks fresh, healthy meals daily in our fully equipped kitchen

Our Centre provides nappies, SPF 50+ sunscreen, all nutritious meals and snacks, high quality formula and bed linen.

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

From 1 Jan 2024 eligible children will receive up to 15 hours of free Kindergarten per week at our Centre, 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. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre. 

As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families will be able to gain an understanding of 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 also be given access to our family communication app Storypark, allowing us to share with you any important updates within the Centre, as well as exciting activities or milestones that your child encounters – ensuring that you always remain connected, day-to-day.

“that moment when a child’s face lights up with pride at their own achievements is priceless. These memories created together builds long lasting relationships with all our children and their families, and we love a celebration! The opportunity to be part of a child’s learning and growth journey is why I love what I do".

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.
