Guardian Childcare & Education Pasadena

All In for National Reconciliation Week 2026
The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.

The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long.

Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.

The campaign was created in collaboration with Carbon Creative, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency.

The artwork for this campaign is by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey, who applied his distinctive style to create a colourful and optimistic visual representation of people from all walks of life being ‘all in’ to make change.

Pizza class at Guardian Pasadena!

Maureem, our Chef, guided the children and together they made a very delicious lunch! 😁🍕👩‍🍳

Cooking experiences are so important in childcare as children get to work on their social & mathematical skills, they work on their physical coordination and critical thinking and of course they get to enjoy a delicious meal they made🍽😋

A quick update on our tadpoles, one of them has grown legs and it's looking more and more like a frog🐸
The children are taking an amazing care of the tadpoles, reminding each week the educator to feed them and checking on them daily 😍
The tadpoles are helping the children taking responsibilities, caring for others, learning about empathy and science!

Taking advantage of any sunny day now that winter is coming and the children asked for some messy play with goop 🌞

Sensory play is so important to help develop Cognitive, Physical and Emotional skills and it promotes creative thinking and encourage communication.

How to make goop? Ingredients:
1.5 cups of cornstarch
1 cup of water
Optional: food coloring for color

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers, grandmothers and mother figures 🌺

Here some photos from our beautiful Mother's Day afternoon tea 😍

Today Cale from Wilbur's Wildlife came in to talk to the children about wildlife and introduced us to some amazing animals. The children had the opportunity to observe and even touch some beautiful animals and Cale explained to us how to be safe around these animals and how to make sure we do not hurt them. What an amazing experience!

This is the last week of our Autumn program, what are you going to dress up as on Friday? 🍂

This morning we had visit from the local police. Officer Sheree and Liam came in to explain what they do to keep our community safe and showed the children all the things they carry on their uniform. The children even got to try on some uniform and then hop on the car and try the siren!👮🏼‍♀️👮🏿🚓🚨
