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.

Areas That This Centre Services
Our early learning centre is just a short drive out of Parkside, and we have many families who make the short trip south each morning so their children have the opportunity to grow and develop in a safe, loving learning environment.
Families living in Eastwood can head straight down Glen Osmond Road and get to our centre in just a few minutes. We develop our relationship with your child from the moment they start coming to our centre, right up until they finish our Eastwood preschool program and begin the exciting transition into primary school.
We provide high-quality Unley early learning, and many families from this area choose to make the short detour to our centre each morning to provide their child with the opportunity to receive early childhood education and care from dedicated, caring and qualified Educators. We support each child’s unique culture and traditions, and empower them to feel comfortable and confident to continue carrying on their heritage for the next generation.
Our ELC is located perfectly as a Malvern daycare and preschool. We welcome families to come into our centre each morning when they drop off their children, and you’re always welcome to take a look around the learning environment and have a chat with our Educators and Teachers.
For Highgate families, our childcare and preschool is located right on your way into the CBD. We’re proud to have a number of children come to our centre from Highgate, and we enjoy meeting new families who are interested in joining our small community.
