We've been with Guardian for 6 years now and love the staff there. The centre has just undergone a revamp with new toys and a fresh lick of paint and the staff are always friendly and cheerful and whilst there has been a churn with educators leaving there is still a core set of educators that are still there that make the centre what it is today. The rooms are big and the playground/outdoor space is big too, enough for the kids to run around.

Welcome to our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Marrickville boasts a range of resource-rich environments, including herb and vegetable gardens, a spacious outdoor area, and natural play structures where children are encouraged to explore and learn.

Guardian Marrickville offers long day care, before and after school care and vacation care to support the needs of local families. The light-filled centre is always buzzing with activities and excitement.

In addition to the huge range of care options available, the Teachers and Educators at Guardian Marrickville also provide wonderful learning programs for the children, including a leading Preschool Program for those preparing for the transition to primary school.

Eligible children who turn 4 years old on or before 31 July 2024 will receive up to $2,110 in additional subsidies. This fee support is on top of any Child Care Subsidy eligible families may be receiving. If your child is 3 years old and not yet 4 years old on, or before 31 July in 2024 and is enrolled at our Centre, you will receive up to $500 in fee relief. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre. 

Here’s a look at one of the experiences the team at Guardian Marrickville recently created for the children on our Learning Exchange – reading and painting their way through the classic story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

We are proud to have such a culturally diverse team of Educators who celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays with the children in our Centre throughout the year. Community is a key feature of the curriculum at Guardian Marrickville, with children getting out and about on regular excursions to the local primary school, cafes and parks.

Our on-site cook is a valued member of the team, preparing fresh, delicious and nutritious meals in our Centre kitchen every day. Our Educators at Guardian Marrickville also host cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.

Begin the adventure at Guardian Marrickville today by booking a tour to explore the Centre or speaking to one of our team.

Our Centre Managers are the heart of our Centres. Leading our Teachers and Educators to deliver the highest quality care and education to all children.

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. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.

  • Morning

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.

  • Morning

    Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

  • Morning

    An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.

  • Morning

    Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.

  • Morning tea

    An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and cook.

  • Mid-morning

    Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Lunch

    Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our cook. Families are invited to join the children for meals and excursions if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    If your child wants to, or needs to sleep, it’s time to rest and recharge. For children who don’t need to rest the planned experiences continue, in most cases outdoors.

  • Afternoon tea

    Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups or with siblings. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.

  • Pick-up

    As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.

  • End of day

    Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary, throughout the day if we notice your child looking tired food will be provided.

Our Educators

Our team of Educators are committed and passionate about ensuring your child will be safe, nurtured and cared for every day. At Guardian, children are encouraged to engage in interest-led play that creates learning and meaningful experiences.

Our Educators seek to optimise diverse learning opportunities and implement the Curriculum as framed by the Early Years Learning Framework.

You and Your Child

All Guardian Centres provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform so families can maintain contact with their children’s experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes.

Our Centres use Storypark and each family is provided with a secure login to access on their computers, mobiles or apps.

Learn More About Our Centre

Our Marrickville centre offers a range of experiences through our childcare program that we believe are important for any child’s development in their early years. Our curriculum is modeled on the National Early Learning Years Framework which recognises the incredible value of investing in the first five years of a child’s life and the vital role that educators play in developing the whole child.

We aim to cater for children’s individual routines by practicing consistency between families’ homes and centres and by talking to parents about changes as children grow.

We ensure that all children have the opportunity to achieve and experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities in aesthetically pleasing environments designed for growing bodies and creative minds.
