Opening in January 2026, Guardian Kallangur will offer a new standard in early childhood education and care.
Our early learning centre is designed for children from six weeks to six years, with a focus on wellbeing, safety and a sense of community.

Two outdoor areas for play and discovery, featuring sandpits, climbing equipment and a garden
An experienced team supporting children with personalised, play-based learning with our To BE Me program
