Guardian Childcare and Education Leopold Centre overview

Website & socials
Welcome to Guardian Childcare and Education Leopold

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Leopold, formerly Leopold Early Learning Centre, a community based child care and day care centre located in the eastern suburbs of Geelong. Our child care centre is perfectly situated for families living in or near surrounding suburbs such as Leopold, Moolap, Wallington, Newcomb, Curlewis and St Albans Park.

Our Leopold childcare centre offers:

  • Quality learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking and Sustainability
  • Expansive outdoor play spaces with a sandpit, bike track and veggie garden
  • On-site Chef providing fresh snacks and meals daily
  • Highly experienced Educators and degree-qualified Teachers
  • Nappies, SPF 50+ sunscreen and bed linen provided
  • Extended hours of care each weekday from 6:30am to 6:30pm

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.

Supported with a team of highly experienced Teachers and Educators, children are taught with a personalised approach to learning - ensuring that each child receives the best possible care tailored to their own needs.

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.

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.
