Guardian Childcare & Education Springfield

Guardian Childcare & Education Springfield is rated as exceeding in the National Quality Standard. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including herb and vegetable gardens, a passionfruit vine, a spacious veranda, natural play structures, and an open-plan studio, children are encouraged to explore and learn every day.

Guardian Springfield offers a leading Kindergarten Program, led by our university-qualified teachers which helps prepare our older children for the exciting transition to school. This program is in addition to the amazing learning experiences our dedicated Educators and Teachers prepare for children of all ages – from six months to six years.

We are proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year which gives the children an appreciation for diversity and an understanding of the world around them.

At Guardian Springfield the children get out and about on regular excursions, which fosters a great connection with the local community. We visit local places such as the parklands for nature walks, the library, F45 gym, Bunnings and the Queensland Museum. These opportunities to get out and about give the children an appreciation for their local community and the people who live there.

We have an incredible on-site cook who prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the Centre our cook and Educators also host cooking classes for the children to get involved in.

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.

  • From 6:30am

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.

  • From 6:30am

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

  • Morning

    An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.

  • Morning

    Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.

  • Morning tea

    An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and cook.

  • Mid-morning

    Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Lunch

    Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our cook. Families are invited to join the children for meals and excursions if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    If your child wants to, or needs to sleep, it’s time to rest and recharge. For children who don’t need to rest the planned experiences continue, in most cases outdoors.

  • Afternoon tea

    Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups or with siblings. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.

  • Pick-up

    As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.

  • End of day

    Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack before they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary, throughout the day if we notice your child looking tired food will be provided.
