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.
Begin the adventure at Guardian St Clair today by touring the Centre or speaking to one of our team.
