Darling View – Market Street Early Learning Centre
Every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth at Darling View – Market Street Early Learning Centre. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including herb and vegetable gardens, city viewing platforms, a spacious outdoor area, and a range of age-specific ateliers, children are encouraged to explore and learn.
With a dedicated team of Educators who have been with the centre for a long time, we are proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year, as well as teaching the children sign language.
Children get out and about on weekly excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We visit the local bookstore, fish pond, Hyde Park and surrounding businesses.
Our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our community-focused Educators at Darling View 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.

Learn More About Our Centre expand_more
Darling View – Market Street Early Learning Centre is conveniently located in the heart of the CBD, next to the Queen Victoria Building and Town Hall train station.
Designed for exploration and adventure, our outdoor space has ample room for group play, as well as little nooks for hide and seek, plus gives the children an opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of their urban environment.
Connecting to the community around them, children will engage in a variety of activities such as visiting a local fruit shop in the morning, helping in fundraising activities for the Starlight Foundation, or popping in to Queens View Early Learning Centre — our ‘sister centre’ located right next door — or visiting one of our other education and childcare centres in the Sydney CBD.
Each day our on-site cook prepares fresh and seasonal home-style meals. The children love assisting in the process, and discovering different tastes and textures along the way.
Coming along on a tour and Orientation Day before your child enrols is a great way to get to know our educators, and to get a feel for our kindergarten.
To find out more about the special experiences at our Centre, drop by and meet our wonderful team. Looking something closer to your office? We also have a range of other early learning centres in Sydney and North Sydney.

“It’s not easy to leave your child in the care of someone else, however, from day one I can comfortably say that your staff have always provided the best care for both my children. I always see all the great things they do with the children but most importantly they are always there to comfort the children and take such great care of them.”
– Ivana Dusenjko, Mickleham Road, Vic
"The transition into childcare was made easy by the supportive and compassionate staff. Daily communication (both email and verbal) kept me up to date with my daughter's progress socially, emotionally and intellectually. The 'child centred' approach is amazing; for my child to make connections to her own world and experiences. She loves going.”
– Sarah Collingwood, Jacaranda – Sunnybank, Qld
"“The team are passionate about being early childhood Educators. The environment is filled with many indoor and outdoor activities allowing a child-led development by following their natural interests (inspired by Reggio Emilia). A philosophy we follow in our home. My four-year-old daughter’s language and social skills have improved greatly.””
– Angela K, Lane Cove, NSW
