My oldest went here and my youngest is here now. They both had/have great educators. Caring and genuine interest in the kids they look after. The centre is clean and well maintained. They have a lot of activities for the kids and different events. Educating them in various ways, they have a cute little garden, they plant, compost and learn about recycling. My eldest watched eggs hatched into chicks and caterpillars into cocoons.

I don't think you'll find a better centre. These guys have provided a level of service and care for our family that goes beyond whats required from a childcare centre. Our son has a disability and we had to look for another centre at a time when we were really struggling with the onset of his condition. The last centre wasn't able to give Phoenix the attention he needs. Guardian had no hesitations at any point. I'd like to say thanks to the team at Guardian for really helping us out. I highly recommend them... based on my experiences so far, if you are in their area and you're looking, dont waste time, try and get a placement here.

My youngest graduated from Jacaranda just last year after we have attended as a family for over 9 years. The staff have always been amazing and gone above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and well cared for. The kindy program was also great start to their education with a curriculum that included plenty of play and child led learning. Cannot recommend this centre highly enough!

Welcome to our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Sunnybank is a convenient choice for local families seeking high quality care and education for children aged six weeks to six years. The recently renovated outdoor space is a highlight of the light-filled and warm Centre, which also boasts a herb and vegetable gardens, Australian Native stingless bees, a wooden fort, water pump and natural play structures.

The team of professionally-certified early childhood Educators and Teachers deliver an advanced play-based curriculum, as well as a leading Kindergarten Program to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.

From 1 Jan 2024 eligible children will receive up to 15 hours of free Kindergarten per week at our Centre, up to 600 hours of free Kindergarten per year. This fee support is on top of any Child Care Subsidy eligible families may be receiving. To take advantage of this additional support children must be at least four years of age by 30 June in the year before they attend Primary School and be enrolled at an approved Kindergarten program for at least 2 days a week. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre. 

At Guardian Sunnybank, children get out and about on regular excursions into the local community. They visit various local attractions such as Sunnybank Hills Tricare to partake in an inter-generational playgroup which is a delight for everyone involved. The children also love visiting the local shopping Centre, cafes and the library.

With a community-minded team of Educators who have been with the Centre for a long time, at Guardian Sunnybank we’re proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year.

Our dedicated cook prepares nutritious and delicious meals on site, every day. The children and Educators enjoy venturing into the Centre gardens to harvest ingredients for the meals and to be used in cooking classes.

Begin the adventure at Guardian Sunnybank today by booking a tour or speaking to one of our team.

More about Guardian Sunnybank

Previously known as Jacaranda Childcare centre, Guardian Childcare & Education Sunnybank is an early learning centre that services a number of local areas, including: Springwood, Logan Central, Mount Gravatt, Rocklea and Beenleigh. 

At the centre we encourage and use a holistic approach for the children, families, educators and the community. For our children to be, belong and become we foster the values of intentional teaching, love, diversity, respect, equity, kindness and friendship. 

As Educators we use intentional teaching and play based learning to enhance every child’s desire to know and learn. We welcome the diversity of our families and the local community and we encourage participation in all aspects of our curriculum. We invite you to share our values and welcome discussion with our experienced educators. Your child will love their day at Guardian Sunnybank with our friendly and passionate team of educators. We have high Educator to child ratios allowing educators and families to work together to ensure a happy and productive time whilst children are in our care. 

Our Educators take the time to provide families with up to date information on their child’s day and development progress. Our Educators are selected for their qualifications and expertise in the early childhood field and we pride ourselves on the quality of our care and the warm and secure learning environment we provide. 

Your child’s learning and development will benefit greatly from the interaction with educators and other children at the centre. We make sure that our curriculum and school readiness program fits within the Commonwealth Government’s Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards. 

Our close partnership with families allows us to offer a range of additional benefits to the learning and childcare experience for the children in our St Kilda South childcare centre. We pride ourselves on the support we offer families and want to help make it a little easier to balance all those daily commitments, through initiatives such as:  

  • Designated drop off and pick up zones to assist with those busy mornings and afternoons. 
  • Casual care days where possible to help you manage the unpredictable nature of work life and home life.   
  • Assisting you with government subsidies and entitlements to help you make the most of the financial support which may be available 
  • Our family communication app StoryPark to keep you informed throughout the day with photos, videos and updates about your child  
  • We hold parent and educator sessions to keep you informed of your child’s individual progress.  
  • Providing your child with unexpected benefits such as exposure to a range of cultures and languages via our diverse and multi-cultural educator mix.   

We tailor our services at the centre to make life easier for our busy families. We provide nutritionally balanced meals prepared by our own chef in our centre kitchen. We also provide necessities such as nappies and sunscreen for nap times. 

We invite you to come and see today why Guardian Childcare & Education Sunnybank is a great choice for your family. Book and tour to come and meet our incredible educators and learn what a day at Guardian is like.
