Learning at Guardian Childcare Centres

Our Approach to Teaching Our Teachers and Educators Our Centres

 

Learning starts from birth. And children are capable of communication and learning at every age. A child does not reach the age of four or five and become magically ready for primary school. They are learning from the very moment they enter this world as a baby – and our teams and Teachers understand what that learning looks like every step of the way.

Our approach to learning is about more than 123s and ABCs. We nurture children’s natural desire to learn through our world-class Curriculum, based on contemporary early childhood thinking and research. We focus on respect, responsibility and community, brought to life through exploration, discovery and play.

We teach through real-word settings and scenarios because our children of today will face a different world tomorrow. They are entering a fast-paced, rapidly changing world, where technology rules and the traditional methods of teaching are no longer as effective.

That’s why our approach is focused on the latest research and insights into how children learn best, focusing in on the specific skills they will need to thrive in the 21st Century. Guardian Teachers and Educators are continually adjusting their ways of thinking to support the children of today who will require the skills to be:

  • Innovative and adaptable
  • Creative, critical thinking problem-solvers and decision-makers
  • Lifelong learners
  • Able to work in partnership and collaboration with others.

 

“We’re focused on teaching children how to learn versus just ticking a box. The first five years in a child’s life are incredibly important when it comes to setting them up with a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.”
Kathryn Waugh, Guardian Head of Quality and Curriculum

 

The Guardian Difference

Whether your child is six weeks or six years old, our Teachers and Educators are always observing – working to understand your child’s individual traits, likes and motivations. This means they’re better able to find what lights up each child’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
