Guardian Childcare & Education Bentleigh East Centre overview

Website & socials

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Bentleigh East

Guardian Childcare & Education Bentleigh East is a modern, vibrant, and inclusive centre welcoming children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. A passionate team of university-qualified teachers and educators deliver personalised play-based programs including an exciting kindergarten transition program. Our centre is a place where children thrive – and families say it’s the best childcare in Bentleigh East. 

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.  

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.

Nursery Rooms are our specialty. Our experienced Baby Ambassador and Nursery team take the time to really know your baby’s routines and personality, supporting them to feel safe and settled. Our Nursery rooms are calm, nurturing spaces that feel like a home away from home. 

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.  

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

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.
