Hayley
"I believe mentoring and providing our team with resources and knowledge they need, will allow them flourish as educators and create the best possible environment for our children and families to feel welcome."
Where children are supported to be brave, curious, and bold in their learning, for the best possible start to life.
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.
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.
Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.
For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.
Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.
Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

Our Learning Programs
Learning should be fun! Learning through play encourages children to explore and understand their world at their own pace. It helps build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Kindergarten/Preschool Program
Our specialist two-year kindergarten/preschool program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.
Out and about
Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.
STEM
Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.
Cooking
Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.
Ella Language
Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.
Joy of Reading
Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.
Sustainability
From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. I have had my three children attend 3 different Guardian Centres over the course of 8 years, and Everton stands out. Not only is it beautifully located, nestled amongst nature reserves, Hayley and her team are just outstanding and the quality of care my daughter has received has well exceeded my expectations. They tick every box I have as an ex-early childhood educator: Clean, well presented, stimulating and carefully presented spaces. Happy, smiling staff who are engaging with the children and acknowledging the families, quality program shared through gorgeous daily updates and photos, if a child is crying they are being attended to - truly, and a beautiful team that have made daycare a safe, extension of our family. I have a very happy 2 year old, and that is due to all of the above. Special shout out to Aparna.

The team at Guardian Everton Hills are absolutely amazing. Our son started there at the beginning of the year and they have gone above and beyond to ensure not only he but my husband and I were comfortable. They go the extra mile and are so friendly.After coming from another daycare it has been like chalk and cheese. We are SO impressed by guardian and how their educators show a real passion and dedication to the children. It’s hard to find a good daycare these days and I will be recommending Guardian to everyone, we are so glad we decided to switch daycares.Great job team!

We have been so impressed with sending our youngest daughter to Guardian at Everton Hills. All of the staff there are so friendly, caring and my daughter genuinely loves them! Her confidence within herself has grown along with learning new and exciting things at the centre. The staff have gone above and beyond when we needed extra help and have been a constant support for our family. I highly recommend this centre!

Had 2 wonderful years at this centre with our 2 boys. They watched our youngest grow from the womb! It was a very sad day to leave the beautiful team here but we are relocating north. Would highly recommend Guardian Everton Hills to anyone in the area looking for a daycare they can trust and who build meaningful relationships with the children in their care.

Thank you so much to everyone from Guardian Everton Hills who have taken such great care of my son. My son starts prep next week and I am confident that your educators have armed him with being ready for the next leap in his childhood. The facilities are second to none, the daily changing menu and the inclusive culture has instilled such great value into the youngest generation. My son will surely miss everything, the teachers, his friends and the centre in general as will I. Well done Kirbie and team - I will be recommending your centre to everyone!Gemma Barker

Everyday, I see a genuine interaction between staffs and children, Staffs that are being attuned to every child's needs. My son jumps off towards his familiar educator during drop off and always has a spark on him each time he attends the Centre.

The team at Guardian Everton Hills helped support my little man and I as we transitioned back into the area after a separation. They went above and beyond to make sure we were supported, welcomed and that my little guy was comfortable and settled. It was with great regret that we had to move on from here and wish circumstances had allowed us to stay longer. Highly recommend!!!!

Cannot recommend highly enough!We enrolled our daughter at 10 months and she has been cared for so tenderly. She is now over 2 and so happy to attend. There is a genuine focus on fostering relationships with children. Educators are incredible, setting is sensational. This centre blows others in the area out of the water! :)

This is an absolutely amazing centre. The staff are all incredible, extremely kind and are truly interested in your child's development. We moved our children from another daycare into this one and the difference that we saw in them was pretty much instant. Could not recommend this place more highly.

A fantastically resourced centre with the most genuine and caring staff. They provide hats, nappies and food (including bottles and formula). The centre has wet areas, a light room, music room and lots of areas to play! This is a centre that you could happily send your child to from an early age and prepare them for school interactions.This centre cares a lot about sustainability and getting the children involved with activities, including growing vegetables that will be used in the kitchen! This centre is positioned perfectly next to a park, so nature walks are part of the regular routine.The long opening hours are also great for parents who work in town and start early!
