Guardian Early Learning Centre – Newstead
Every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth at Guardian Early Learning Centre – Newstead, which is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments – including two spacious and covered outdoor areas – children are encouraged to explore and learn.
The light-filled centre also has a water pump, purpose-built hills and tunnels, indoor gardens, city views, natural play structures, and two open-plan ateliers.
Children get out and about on weekly excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We visit a variety of locations, including Cafe 63, Woolworths, and walks around Fortitude Valley.
We are proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year.
Our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. With a theatre-style kitchen and dining piazza, meals are always social and invite conversations around food.To further explore food at the centre, our Educators host cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.

Call our customer Service:
“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
