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 or grab it on the go.
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 cook.
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 cook. 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 as 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.
Open 7:00am to 6:00pm
Monday to Friday
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 & Education Cherrybrook is a small early learning and childcare centre with a big heart. Hidden away in the West Pennant Hills valley, our permanent and stable team means your child will be greeted every day by educators that they know and trust, in an environment that develops a love of learning and strong friendships.
Our program is individually tailored to each child. We have developed a unique early learning curriculum that promotes learning and development by taking children’s personal interests, and turning them into opportunities for educational play. We also prepare the children for the big wide world through our unique school readiness program.
We believe that children who eat well, learn well. As such, we offer a delicious wholefood early learning menu that is prepared on site each day using only the freshest seasonal ingredients.
Within our Centre, the children love playing host to special guests such as visitors from NSW Dog Safety, LazyTown, Bob Turner Wildlife, and the Muru Mittigar Aboriginal community. Outside the centre, our annual Forest Elves and Fairies Walk in the local Cumberland State Forest is always a huge hit!
