I believe that children should be supported to learn, play explore and make friends and grow within a nurturing environment and always be supported to be brave and try new experiences.
Where children are supported to be brave, curious, and bold in their learning, for the best possible start to life.
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.
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.
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.
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
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.
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
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.
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.
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.
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about 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.

Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Kindergarten/Preschool Program
Our specialist two-year kindergarten/preschool program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.
Out and about
Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.
STEM
Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.
Cooking
Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.
Ella Language
Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.
Joy of Reading
Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.
Sustainability
From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.

We adore this daycare and the educators who look after the children so well. The administration staff have always been lovely and welcoming, and the centre has a lovely feel to it. There is a lovely garden, sandpit, a chicken coup and their own personal chef! We have always felt the care to be exceptional, including making sure children are comforted, sunscreen is reapplied, and the food is varied and nutritious.

I want to thank each and every member of the team for working tirelessly to support my 10 month old transition into daycare. Our little one has come leaps and bounds in such amount of short time. I was recommended the centre from my sister who had previously sent her 3 y.o. there. They have since moved on, but after 3 months, her son still talks about the centre and all his wonderful educators.We will forever sing Archan and team's praises and recommend the centre to everyone in the area. Thank you Guardian Coorpraoo for all your hard work and commitment to the children's safety and happiness.

Guardian Coorparoo is a wonderful daycare centre. The facilities are nice, with a great outdoor space (veg garden + chickens!) and the long centre hours (with offerings such as breakfast) are super helpful when we work across town. My 5-star review is mainly for the lovely, friendly, caring and supportive team of Educators and Management. I appreciate the daily updates/snapshots and the Educators clever new ideas of learning activities.

The centre is welcoming and offering a warm, stimulating, and nurturing environment. The educators are sweet with the children and very experienced, and always coming up with new ideas to help the children learn and grow. Children achievements are often celebrated and we get notified about them and other daily activities through a dedicated app. Finally, the centre management team is also lovely and understanding and will do everything they can to accommodate your requests when possible. I'm really happy we chose Guardian for our child.

Guardian Coorparoo is a a wonderful Daycare facility. We attended for almost 2 years only changing centers due to the fact we moved. The Educators were wonderful and they grew to feel like part of our family. Our boys were always cared for very well. The educational activities were great in extending their interests and skills.The outdoor facilities are great, plenty of room to run around and play in. Also loved that they have chickens, tickle bees and worms great learning experience for the children.Would highly recommend Guardian Coorparoo.

As a parent of children who have attended Guardian Coorparoo for the past 4 years, just wanted to add a recent review with my thoughts about the centre.There is an amazing group of caring Educators who work here and the work they do is hard. During and post-COVID the centre has been working to recover from the mass changes brought about through the impact of visa changes and burnout associated with working in a frontline environment over the past few years. Thankfully, a core of dedicated team members has led the charge to welcome new team members and families to the centre.I really like the size of this centre as it's smaller than many of the newer centres in the area. It has only 7 rooms with a good amount of space in each and importantly, a natural outdoor area with a large shady tree for the Summer. A good size sandpit, rock garden and raised garden beds that facilitate the kids learning about veggie growing
