Guardian Childcare and Education St Clair offers the warmth and comfort of a family home, in Adelaide’s northwest. Our purpose-built outdoor space is accessible from every classroom and has plenty of room in which to run, ride and explore.
It’s perfect for families looking for ‘childcare near me’ or ‘child care St Clair’. We serve families in St Clair as well as the surrounding suburbs of Woodville North, Woodville South, Woodville Gardens, Kilkenny, Pennington and Albert Park.
Our spacious day care and 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. The 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.
St Clair early childhood education programs are led by passionate, qualified educators who tailor each learning experience to your child’s individual needs and interests. They work in collaboration with families to create a personalised approach to play-based learning that supports each child’s unique development journey.
At Guardian St Clair we also understand the importance of building strong relationships with our local community as part of a quality education experience. We organise regular excursions into the surrounding areas so children can explore and discover their local environment. This includes trips to nearby parks, libraries and shops.
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. They create learning experiences in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and imagination in a safe environment for young age groups.
Guardian St Clair is open from 7.00am to 6.00pm 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, we encourage you to stay for a little while and spend some time exploring the learning environment.
Our Educators and Teachers can show you the various play materials and education spaces throughout the St Clair child care centre 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 on your child 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, St Clair day care has 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 Standard and the Early Years Learning Framework.
Through our high-quality preschool program, children have the opportunity to learn some of the skills that are often only introduced in early primary school. We begin learning and exploring shapes, numbers and letters through fun, play-based activities.
We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. Our high-quality program 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 each meal 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.
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!
Why not come and meet the team and have a look around our St Clair child care centre today? We’d love to show you why Guardian Childcare and Education St Clair is the perfect learning environment for your child. At Guardian, we believe that together, we can give young children the best start to life.
