I made a comment to one of the mum's here asking how many children's books she had in her library. And then promptly and immediately was notified by security that there have been are complaints buy one of the parents here, that I was speaking to them. This Mum most definitely doesn't have many children's books in her children's book library and most definitely has not been and it has in fact been neglecting to read her child books. This is not necessarily demonstrative poorly of her parenting skills play simply as towards the fact matter nature, she seemed offended and are fronted by this question because it presented poorly towards her action role of being a mother or that it might reflect poorly as a mother towards others if she did not have children books or did not read her child children's books. One must understand the classism of affluence area neighbourhoods of which this childcare is situated within. She then attempted to throw her own weight with the security under the implying sentiments that she is a vulnerable mother with child and I am a grown man of disadvantage circumstance that should then not be of position or command to be able to speak with a mother who has child, a classist action in its totality she then requested that security adopt her own bias lense to then attempt to move me or command me about where I had done nothing wrong. Moreover I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with not realising that you should be reading your children books. However in moreover that parents might treats you in this way for putting forward a suggestion to them. Read your children more books, full stop. But that they would then attempts to utilise other forms of governance systems claiming sovereignty over these via sentiments that these systems of power should protect their classism as their right add repurpose reutilise and equip themselves bearing these power systems as their shield to cover for their own bias and failings and therefore and thereafter push you about. A polite no thank you would suffice. Moreover you don't necessarily want to send your children to a place that has parents that might act in this way towards you or more exactly acting this way towards your children pushing systems of power about upon your children if your children come into countenance with their child or their status role identity. This might be a good childcare but inline with the pygmalion effect, some synthesis of my sentiment might be as particular in regards to this institution. If your child excels or is gifted then firstly they need to be with the right teachers, good people and mostly even more so good teachers are hard to find because in for the reason they get underpaid. Secondly that if your child is severely gifted they're not going to connect with even the brightest individuals anyway so they might as well have normal friends because that's going to help them actualise feeling normal instead of actualising feeling pressured because all the other intellectual children will try and keep up with them but always fail but failed attempt still be able to pressure them even if it wasn't touching their intellectual nature it might be through misappropriations of power systems and the like. This isn't necessarily healthy for the most gifted children and therefore you don't necessarily want to place them in a socially advantaging environment if not for the teachers. Because as towards the most gifted with the gifted and the intellectual many of these individuals operate under object concept value sense of worth intellectualism and move beyond testing regimes or outside of them. Such that then they're only way to understand how smart they are is through reality testing with individual or peers. There is a competitive nature to human beings, individuals which are secondary but operate in a collective manner and fashion more so women benefit from this within an education environment because they do not sort difference with others through the same means as the male gender rough and tumble.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Guardian South Yarra. Our daughter Lulu has been attending for the past 15 months and the growth in her confidence, social skills, and learning has been amazing to watch. The teachers are incredibly caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. Lulu absolutely loves going and has built such wonderful relationships with the staff and other children. We’re so grateful for the positive and nurturing environment they’ve created. Highly recommend Guardian South Yarra to any family looking for exceptional childcare and early learning.

We are very happy with the centre. My son has been attending since he was 7 months old. In nursery, Kezia and Gaby are just amazing, caring and lovely. Also, the rest of the educators and the staff in the other rooms after nursery are wonderful. Angela is top in customer service, so a special mention to her as well.

Fantastic childcare that we really trust!

Our experience with Ethan’s childcare has been exceptional. Truly a 10/10. The entire team is warm, patient, and genuinely caring. Every educator shows real dedication to the children’s safety, wellbeing, and development. My boy always feels happy, supported, and understood, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents. We deeply appreciate the communication, the professionalism, and the love they bring to the centre every day. Thank you for creating such a safe and nurturing space for our little one.

Great space for children to learn and play; indoor and outdoor. Appreciate the dedications and care by the educators at the centre.

As a profession, I do weekly school and childcare visits throughout Melbourne, so I am able to compare and contrast quite easily. Knowing what I know, I can confidently say that my kids are attending one one of the best childcare and education center for several reasons which are important to me: 1) Everyone in the center cares about the wellbeing of the children. This includes the educators, the administration, the management, the chef and everyone else involved in that center. They all know each of my child's temperament, personality, likes/dislikes and are genuinely interested in them and care about them. This speaks volumes to how they all work as a team for the best interest of the child. 2) The educators -- where will we be without them! They go above and beyond for each and every one of children. This center has some of the most loving, talented and smart educators I have seen in any childcare. To them, this is not just a job, you can truly see and experience this when you see them with your kids. Kesia, Gabi, Marianne & Cici, you are our family's guardian angels. The best educators of all time. 3) Feedback - the center are there to listen and care for any concerns you may have. Last year, as a first time mother, my anxiety was as its peak, however, the whole team there were all there to listen, acknowledge, understand and help. 4) They celebrate cultural diversity which is very important to my family. The accept, respect and celebrate! 5) The childcare put a lot of effort into engaging the children in extra-curricular activities which include a soccer coach, music and dance with Happy Feet. They have also put effort into ensuring parents know other parents in their child's class. 6) The facility is top notch amazing. It is clean, the toys all have their pieces (you would be surprised this is not a guarantee in some facilities), very organized, spacious and open. There are a hundred of positive things I can say about the Guardian South Yarra but the most important are the people who work there. I thank you so much.

As a Wayapa Wuurrk Earth Connection Practitioner I have been booked by the South Yarra Guardian Childcare & Education Centre to conduct Incursions to teach the children about Earth Connection and caring for the Earth. I have found the staff to be professional and very supportive and the children engaging and happy to learn about caring for the Earth. The Centre has many resources for Earth Care and Indigenous learning spaces and have collaborated with me to provide the most engaging and fun activities to care for the Earth and learn about Indigenous wisdoms. It is always a delight for me to visit the South Yarra Centre. It provides varied opportunities and space for the children to interact and learn with Earth based teachings. #wayapawuurrk
