Guardian Childcare & Education Everton Hills

Guardian Childcare & Education Everton Hills is a beautiful childcare Centre dedicated to early education and care. The Centre has a range of inspiring environments for children to explore, including three outdoor spaces, a glass-walled art studio, herb and vegetable gardens, creek beds, water pumps, and a number of other exciting spaces where children can learn through play.

The teachers and educators at Guardian Everton Hills provide wonderful learning programs for the children, including a leading Kindergarten Program that will help prepare your child for the exciting transition to primary school.

Centre Manager Kirbie Metcalfe shares why she’s so passionate about early childcare and education, getting to know the families in her Centre and why working with children is so rewarding.

“I believe that children are individuals and are underestimated in so many ways. They are capable and competent learners who thrive in secure and engaging environments. All children have the right to be active participants in their own learning and be positively supported in their growth of identity, self-esteem and overall development. I have had the privilege of building many strong relationships with children and their families over the years, which is my favourite part of what I do. I pride myself in building strong connections with families through daily communication, as it is the best way to learn about and bond with the children. The more I know about each child and their family, the richer the experience will be.”

The children at Guardian Everton Hills are also given the opportunity to get out and about into the community on regular excursions, visiting our local park so the older children can play on the playground, and the babies can share a picnic on the grass. We keep families up to date with all of this exciting activity via our family communication app, StoryPark – including photos, videos and commentary about your child’s day at the Centre and their various learning outcomes.

We have an on-site chef who prepares meals freshly each day, including daily breakfast for families. The children and educators often harvest herbs and vegetables from our gardens to add to the daily meals and use in hands-on and educational cooking classes. This extends on the children’s knowledge of nutrition and also often encourages them to try new foods.

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.

  • From 6:30am

    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.

  • From 7:00am

    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 before 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.
