Welcome to Guardian Tarneit Grand Central, our brand new purpose built childcare centre for children aged six weeks to six years. Every day, children are supported to be bold, creative and imaginative in their play and learning.

Proud GOLD winner of the Family Choice Award 2026. As determined by our existing families rating their experience of our Centre via Family Satisfaction Survey and independent Google Reviews.

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program – a game changer that marks a new era in early learning. It reimagines early education, giving families clear insights into how play connects to learning and development.  

Our nurturing Nursery spaces are designed to help babies settle quickly, giving families comfort and confidence. Our Baby Ambassador will get to know your child’s personality, preferences and routines. 

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.  

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of Free Kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the centre’s long day care Kindergarten program. Families will save up to $2,101 a year for children aged three-years-old and above in eligible long day cares in 2026.

Families trust us to provide safe childcare with the highest standards of safety and care in our centre.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years.

The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.

It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly.​ Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.

Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.

To BE Me is underpinned by Guardian’s world class teaching program that has been developed over many years of research and thousands of hours observing how children develop.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop healthy eating habits from an early age. Qualified Chefs and Cooks in our centres create fresh and nutritious meals each day, using seasonal, high-quality ingredients that align with Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience.

Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable. Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled.

Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with this childcare centre. My child’s transition was very smooth, and the educators built such lovely relationships with the children. My lil one adores Sonali and Kathrine. I am so relaxed throughout the time because I know my lil kne is at her safe place. Communication has always been clear and on point. I really enjoy seeing the daily learning experiences they share. And not to forget the food – it’s always well balanced, with fruits, vegetables, and full of nutrients.
