Guardian Childcare & Education Elsternwick

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.

The team at the centre is made up of a mix of accredited Teachers, experienced Lead Educators and passionate Educational Leaders. No matter the role they play in the team, each and every person is dedicated to nurturing and supporting the children in their care.

Unique to Guardian Childcare & Education is the role of Baby Ambassador. It is the Baby Ambassador’s role to get to know the youngest children at the centre and ensure their needs are met each and every day. They also liaise with the families to give added peace of mind that their baby is happy and well during the day.

The team is the heart of the centre. Each member is valued for the individual skills they bring to the team and the contribution they make. For this reason, staff turnover is low ensuring a consistent experience for the children.

At our recently refurbished Guardian Elsternwick, we are proud of our quality learning, incredible resources, and the care and attention we provide each child. You have to come and see us.

Our long day care Centre boasts a range of exciting, indoor and outdoor learning environments, including a treehouse, water pumps, a creek bed, natural play structures and a range of age-specific spaces and play areas.

From emotional and social development to school readiness, Guardian Elsternwick provides a high-quality early learning experience to empower each child to develop their skills and learn at their own pace in a safe and nurturing environment. We want children to grow and thrive and to support families with the best early childhood education.
