Moorooka

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 Moorooka is a newly built centre just outside Brisbane, conveniently located for anyone heading into the CBD from the southern suburbs. The location is great for families in the surrounding suburbs of Moorooka, Salisbury, Rocklea and Tarragindi. The brand-new Centre will feel like a home away from home for children.

At Guardian Childcare & Education Moorooka we strive to provide the highest quality of education and care for your children. Our innovative teaching methods are designed to help our young learners develop their skills in a safe, fun and stimulating environment. We believe that early years learning should be creative and fun.

Our early childhood professionals – our Educators and Teachers – are warm and welcoming and are experienced in providing children with a safe, secure environment to grow and develop freely in their first few years. Our child care centre features multiple spacious rooms filled with beautiful colours and natural lights. There are plenty of stimulating materials around the child care centre to keep the children engaged, and to inspire them to explore their child care environment.

We are dedicated to providing proper nutrition to children, and our on-site cook prepares fresh meals daily to ensure each child has the opportunity to develop positive healthy eating habits. Our Educators empower each child to become active in the food preparation process, and many of the children help select ingredients, ask our cook questions and learn about the various nutrients in each meal.

Our family communication app, Storypark, provides our Educators and families with an opportunity to form genuine relationships. We regularly share images, videos, and messages about your child’s progress throughout the day, keeping you informed about your child’s growth and development. We encourage families to use the Storypark app to create ideas for continuing the learning at home.

For children aged three and four years, we provide high-quality kindergarten with our long day care to help prepare them for their upcoming transitions into formal schooling. Each room in our centre is led by an early childhood Teacher.

Our three-year-old curriculum emphasises developing some of the social, emotional and communication skills that the children will use as they gain more independence. We encourage development in these areas through group play and some slightly more structured activities.

For four-year-olds, the corriculum focuses on further developing their communication, social and emotional skills, and they also begin exploring some numbers, shapes, phonics, science concepts, and all sorts of new ideas. Guided by an early childhood Teacher, we aim to equip each child for a life of learning.

Guardian Moorooka aims to provide children with a wide variety of experiences and learning opportunities during child care, so we offer many different educational opportunities throughout the week to help foster growth and development.

Children are encouraged to interact with our on-site chef and join in the cooking process themselves. They may choose to select some fresh ingredients to include in their meal, or they might like to practice serving up their food on their own. The delicious and nutritious food is all part of the service.

Sustainability is another of the exciting programs at our Centre, and we empower children to learn about recycling and engage with other sustainable practices while developing a genuine passion and care for looking after our planet.

Our Out & About program encourages children to spend more time playing outdoors in the fresh air and natural sunlight. We have a beautiful, spacious outdoor environment for the children to explore and practice engaging their imaginations and creativity.

In the nursery, babies have peaceful rest and sleep in the dream room. Along with nutritious food, parents can be confident their precious little one is getting the best care and attention from our dedicated team.

Our team supports each child’s literacy, language, and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during their formative years and the leap into primary school. Our team is committed to the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural background is supported and encouraged.

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!
