"I find educating, assisting and watching children grow and succeed to be so rewarding."
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.

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.
Open 6:30am to 6:30pm
Monday to Friday
Everton Hills is a full service centre and provides nappies, formula, bedding and hats, as well as five healthy and delicious daily meals created by our on-site cook.
Our team of passionate Educators thrive on supporting children on their early learning journey and take the time to develop experiences and projects that extend on children’s interests and skills. Meaningful play-based programs at the centre are designed to foster children’s development in a positive and nurturing way.
Your child will love our two large outdoor environments that come equipped with water play spaces, sandpits, mud pits and natural play structures – ideal for discovery and adventure.
