Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon Centre overview

Website & socials
Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon! Our purpose-built centre includes the historic Croydon church hall, bringing a unique charm to our bright and thoughtfully designed learning spaces for babies through kindergarten. Conveniently located at 20 Croydon Road, Croydon, directly across from Croydon Primary School, our centre also offers easy access to Croydon Train Station and Maroondah Highway. We invite you to visit our community space—a welcoming spot for families to connect or take a moment when a little extra time is needed at drop-off.

Our exciting, resource-rich environments include:

  • Passionate Educators who focus on relationships with children and families
  • Beautifully designed learning spaces to inspire curiosity, fun, and a sense of belonging
  • Engaging outdoor environment to spark learning and exploration

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 2025.

Families will also be given access to our family communication app  where we will share with you any significant updates in your child’s day, as well as any other important updates that happen in the centre – ensuring that you’re always connected, even when you’re not here. Book a tour and meet our team at Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon today!

Jen - Parent

What can I say! Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of the team at Croydon! As an early childhood professional I have been nothing but impressed with the educational experiences provided for my daughter. We have only been here for a short while but the amount of learning she is coming home with is amazing. Well done team, keep up the awesome work!
