For children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, Guardian Childcare & Education Blackburn South offers a nurturing and caring environment where they can thrive. That’s thanks to a personalised approach where the educators tailor a program for each child, considering their individual needs and interests.

With safety and security, a key priority, the purpose-built centre is modern and vibrant. The spacious, open plan learning areas are bright and light-filled, setting the scene for the daily play-based learning adventures. The rooms are resource rich with a range of natural play materials to inspire the children’s imagination, curiosity, and creativity.

The indoor learning spaces connect with the outdoor play areas where the fun and learning continue. The large play area has a water pump, creek bed, vegetable gardens, teepee, and natural climbing structures. As the children play alongside their peers, they develop the physical and social skills they will need throughout their lives. The educators also plan weekly community excursions to connect the children with the people and places around them.

For families, the centre provides full transparency including real time updates and communication through the Storypark App. This ongoing partnership promotes continuity of learning and is important to help children make a smooth transition to primary school.

The centre is situated in a leafy area just a short walk from Blackburn Road bus stops and with easy access to on-site parking. Why not book a tour of this warm and welcoming centre today?

Programs

The centre programs revolve around the interests and skills of the children. The educators take a personalised approach to get to know each child, their needs and what interests them most. They then tailor the program to match.

With a mix of structured and unstructured play, the educators embed important foundational learning and skills throughout the day. What may seem like fun and play to the children or even to an outside observer, the educators carefully plan activities with real learning benefits. Whether it’s counting the chairs to put out at lunch or practising social skills through dress up play, the children are always growing, learning and developing.

Community is also a strong focus in the program. The educators make the most of their community connections to plan engaging incursions and excursions for the children to enjoy. This enhances their sense of belonging as they develop an understanding of the world around them.
