Guardian introduces To BE Me curriculum

Guardian Childcare & Education has introduced To BE Me, a new curriculum for children from birth to six years of age which is designed to support them to learn and grow through each stage. 

Using streamlined tools and enriched programs, To BE Me breaks down learning into ‘Development Pathways’ for six different age stages, making it simpler for families to understand their child’s developmental milestones and progress.

To BE Me offers detail and insight into every step of a child’s learning and developmental journey, with simple, visual tools that show the developmental progress of children at each of these age / stages over time against Guardian’s seven learning outcomes.

To BE Me ensures the provider is able to understand each child across broad areas of development and allows Guardian to tailor learning experiences to meet their individual needs.

“One reason teams are loving To BE Me is the simplicity it brings to their daily work,” information on the Guardian website notes. 

Tools such as the Development Pathways and Recipe for Learning Cards to help educators to:

• Understand children’s learning and development in greater depth

• Plan engaging and responsive learning experiences for each child

• Observe and track learning progress with ease

• Support each child’s unique growth over time

• Communicate learning journeys clearly and effectively to families

“These tools aren’t just about making our educators’ work more efficient—they’re about creating richer, more dynamic educational programs that involve the whole team working together,” a Guardian representative said. 

As well as supporting educators with programming, planning and professional development, the new offering also supports team members to have meaningful conversations with families about their child’s development. These conversations build trust, deepen connections, and ensure families feel confident and informed about their child’s growth.

One benefit of the simplified system is that it minimises the amount of writing educators need to do, the Guardian representative continued, adding “this means less paperwork and more time spent doing hands-on, meaningful work with the children in our care.”
