Ridgehaven

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 and Education Ridgehaven offers high quality education and care in Adelaide’s north-eastern suburbs. Our three purpose-built playgrounds have plenty of room in which to run, ride and explore.    

Located on Milne Road in Redwood Park, the child care centre offers a fantastic option for families searching for ‘childcare near me’ in Ridgehaven and nearby suburbs of Modbury, Modbury North, and St Agnes.  

Our amazing new Ridgehaven child care centre provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age, supporting them to discover the world in a safe and secure way. Our Ridgehaven childcare centre is filled with bright, stimulating materials that encourage children to explore and engage their curiosity to discover more about the exciting world around them.   

Children are supported through those important early years to explore and develop their social and emotional skills through their early learning journey by a dedicated team of university-qualified Teachers and Educators. Each day they create early childhood education learning experiences in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and imagination in a safe environment for young age groups.       

Guardian Ridgehaven is open from 6.30am to 6.30pm every weekday, so each family are provided with plenty of flexibility for the hours they work and the time they choose to drop off and pick up their child. During drop-off or pick-up times, you’re welcome to spend some time exploring the learning environment.  

Our passionate Educators and Early Childhood Teachers can show you the various play materials and education spaces throughout the Ridgehaven childcare centre in Redwood Park to help you discover our approach to learning as well as support you continue the learning with activities at home. We encourage involving the whole family in their child’s care and education to ensure they are happy as they learn and grow.   

Our family communication app, Storypark, provides you with photos and updates about your child’s educational journey throughout the day, offering you the opportunity to stay informed about your child’s early learning and development. We also set up different learning outcomes for the children through Storypark, which supports them in achieving developmental milestones and understanding new ideas.   

For children aged three and four, we have a preschool program led by university-qualified Teachers that can support your child in their preparation for the step up into primary school. Our preschool curriculum is based on leading child development research and demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible start to life for your child through quality child care services.   

Our early childhood education program is led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible and research-supported way. The leading curriculum supports discovery and gives children the best start to life, as well as being aligned with the National Quality Standards.   

Through our high-quality preschool program at our welcoming centre, children love the fun, play-based activities that help them learn essential skills. Children learn shapes, numbers, and letters, which are often only introduced in early primary school, in an engaging and enjoyable way.  

We support children’s development of literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. The nurturing environment is great for supporting the children’s interests and needs. Our high-quality program in a nurturing environment supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural and family background is supported and encouraged.      

We’re committed to children’s nutrition, and our on-site cook prepares a nutritious menu where each meal is fresh and packed with all the nutrients that children need at their age. We encourage children to engage in food preparation and to ask questions about where their food comes from, why it’s good for them, and how they can eat it. We also encourage exploration of the cultural heritage behind different foods, helping promote diversity and inclusion from an early age.    

Our Ridgehaven childcare centre in Redwood Park uses the 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 preschool Teachers and passionate 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!       

When tours open soon, we’d love to show you why Guardian Childcare and Education Ridgehaven is the perfect learning environment for your child’s development. At Guardian, we believe that together, we can give young children the best start to life.    

We look forward to welcoming your family to Guardian Childcare and Education Ridgehaven soon!
