Guardian Childcare and Education Fig Tree Pocket is a warm and inviting early learning centre west of Brisbane. Our Centre gets its name from Fig Tree Pocket Rd, which is where we’re located. We have a team of experienced Educators and degree-qualified Teachers who get to know each and every child on an individual level to provide the highest standard of care in those critical first few years.
We have a large natural playground that lets children develop their independence and confidence in a safe and secure setting. The outdoor area as a whole is spacious, nestled on three-quarters of an acre, allowing children to roam freely and providing plenty of space for exploration and running around.
The modern fort is a popular attraction, with the children coming up with all sorts of imaginative games and ideas for how it can be used for learning. We also have two large sandpits, which provide motor skill development opportunities for younger children and introduce an understanding of shapes and building for the older ones.
In addition to our various play structures, we also have plenty of natural space for children to keep their imaginations engaged. We have large open grass areas with beautiful big shady trees for cooling down under in summer. There are also some gorgeous garden areas and a digging patch for when children feel like getting their hands dirty in nature.
We have a veggie garden and chicken coop, where children can collect fresh fruits, vegetables, as well as eggs, throughout the day. We then provide the opportunity to try these different foods at meal times, involving children in the entire process of preparing, cooking, serving, and eating foods.
