Wallaby Street Early Learning Centre
Every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth at Wallaby Street Early Learning Centre, which is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments – including a soon-to-be renovated outdoor space – children are encouraged to explore and learn. The homely centre also has an herb garden, natural play structures, and a range of age-specific ateliers.
Children get out and about on excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We often walk to our local parks, and the preschoolers go to Peninsula Leisure Village once a month to visit the residents.
Our on-site cook prepares three nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our community-focused Educators host cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.
Begin the adventure at Guardian today by booking a tour to explore the centre, chat with our team of Educators and learn more about our high-quality curriculum.

Rhythm of The Day
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like.
-
From 7.30am
Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance for conversation to share what’s important for the day/what’s happened the night before at home.
-
9:00
Breakfast time and families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
-
Morning
As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there’s an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.
-
Morning
As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices comes to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.
-
Morning
There’s an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
-
Mid-morning
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
-
Afternoon
There’s an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursions if they wish.
-
Afternoon
For children who want to, or need to, there’s an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don’t need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.
-
Afternoon
Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest together and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.
-
End of the day
As families arrive to pick up children, there’s an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.
-
End of the day
Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

Learn More About Our Centre expand_more
This newly renovated centre has wonderful home-like indoor and natural outdoor spaces that provide plenty of opportunity for exploration, play and learning.
We have five indoor reggio-inspired learning and play environments and our secure outdoor spaces have fruit trees, a digging patch, a mud kitchen, and a range of different spaces for quiet play. The children have learned to care for and respect the environment through tending to our chickens and worm farm and using our compost bins. They can also pick healthy ingredients from our vegetable gardens to include in meals.
Our early childhood educators have a great love and passion for children and our development-appropriate learning programs are tailored for our Nursery, Toddler, Kinder and PreSchool children. Our educators’ stability is a high priority allowing you and your child to develop strong and trusting relationships with our educators.
