Guardian Childcare & Education St Clair

Guardian Childcare & Education St Clair in Adelaide is conveniently located within a short drive to surrounding suburbs Woodville (North and South), Woodville Gardens, Kilkenny, Pennington and Albert Park.

The Centre boasts light-filled, open-plan spaces, with a baking station, water pump, creek bed, vegetable gardens and exciting light panels where our programs come to life. We also have a leading Kindergarten Program, led by university-qualified teachers. This program is for children aged three and up and is designed to help children get ready for the exciting transition to primary school.

The Guardian St Clair piazza is the heart of the Centre and is where children enjoy their meals in a social, shared setting. We also offer a relaxed family breakfast in the piazza each morning, complete with fresh coffee and delicious food.

This is all thanks to our on-site chef, Darren, who busily prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. Darren and our Educators also host hands-on cooking classes for the children in our bespoke ‘baking station’, to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.

The culturally diverse team at Guardian St Clair celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year, including in-house events and excursions into the local community.

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 7:00am

    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 7:00am

    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 chef.

  • 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 chef. 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.
