We feel treated like family, not just another customer. Centre management are always accommodating and the room educators are amazing. Have dealt with the same team of core educators since our start and the centre seemingly has very minimal staff turnover providing great consistency for our little one - this was an important factor for us when we were choosing a centre! Can't recommend Guardian Paradise enough :)

My daughter started here one day a week when she turned 4 and was there up until she started school this year. She loved every minute of her time there and still loves to visit her educators. I enrolled her younger brother when he was 2 and half after I decided to get back in the work force. The staff were unbelievably supportive during the challenging transition. Always reassuring me and updating me with pictures of how much fun he was having! Now he gets upset when we drive past and not stop.

I initially enrolled my 3 kids here only because it was the only place we could find locally that had capacity for all 3 when we arrived from interstate! However we soon came to love the place. The outdoor play facilities are excellent, and I love watching the kids enjoy that space. When we first started there seemed to be a period of high-ish staff turn over, but that has since settled and the turn over now is quite low, which is usually a good sign! The carers/educators are all really nice people, and obviously care about the kids, their education, and their happiness. It is a much larger centre than we were used to, but once we got to know the educators it became clear the level of care was as good as the smaller centre we were at previously. After being there for 8 months my "first choice" childcare came through with vacancies, but I declined and decided to stay at Paradise as my kids are happy there, as are we.

This would have to be hands down the best childcare centre! Its clean, staff are very friendly and have a focus on education and the food is amazing. My daughter has been enrolled since she was 5 months old and a year later she is such a happy, confident social toddler. Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic centre and my kids wake up every day asking to go to child care. All of the staff are lovely, friendly and so caring for the children. The centre is clean and the yard is the most amazing space you will ever find at a child care centre.

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 to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.
-
Morning
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. 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.

Learn More About Our Centre expand_more
Guardian Childcare & Education Paradise was established in 2006 and is a long day care service. Our Paradise early learning centre is in walking distance from the O’Bahn bus service at the Paradise Interchange, with an easy commute into Adelaide CBD. We provide high quality education and care for children 6 weeks – 6 years.
Our centre is cosy, warm and caring with plenty of space for children to discover, play, and learn. We boast two beautiful ateliers spaces which are rich in resources where our children can extend and deepen their creativity and learning. We also invite members of the community to run a range of workshops in these spaces from clay and flower workshops to science presentations.
Our outdoor classrooms consist of several unique, challenging and sensory aware areas allowing children to challenge themselves within a natural play environment. From individual and group play to spontaneous and planned experiences, our curriculums are designed to help children develop into confident young individuals.
We are proud to have educators, children and families that come from a variety of countries around the world, which means the children have lots of opportunities to learn about different cultures. We make a point to engage with families and learn about their background so that each child feels accepted and welcomed. We value and celebrate different cultures throughout the year.
Come along and see our team in action and find out for yourself why our centre is such a special place.
