Our team of Educators are committed and passionate about ensuring your child will be safe, nurtured and cared for every day. At Guardian, children are encouraged to engage in interest-led play that creates learning and meaningful experiences.

Our Educators seek to optimise diverse learning opportunities and implement the Curriculum as framed by the Early Years Learning Framework.

All Guardian Centres provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform so families can maintain contact with their children’s experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes.

Our Centres use Storypark and each family is provided with a secure login to access on their computers, mobiles or apps.

Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon Park is a clean and modern learning environment for children aged six weeks to six years to grow and develop in their early years. We place an emphasis on play-based learning, and empowering each child to foster development through their interests, passions and talents.

We have a spacious outdoor environment for children to roam and explore, and there are endless possibilities for fun and learning through the many stimulating natural materials scattered throughout the space. We have a beautiful water area, where children can openly explore the properties of liquid while also cooling off on warmer days. Our sandpits are a great place for the children to practice engaging their imaginations and creativity.

Children at Guardian Croydon Park receive five healthy, nutritious meals each day, prepared by our friendly cook in our commercial-grade kitchen. Our Educators encourage children to engage in the food preparation process, through interacting with our chef or socialising while eating meals in the Piazza.

Through our family communication app, Storypark, you’ll receive lots of photos of your child throughout the day, providing some peace of mind that you won’t miss your child’s most significant developmental moments and milestones. Storypark allows you to be in contact with your child’s Educators at any time, meaning any queries or concerns you may have can be attended to quickly.

We’re open from 6.30 am to 6.00 pm every weekday, so there is plenty of flexibility to work around your schedule. We’re conveniently located a short distance from the main road into Adelaide’s CBD, so families from the northern suburbs may choose to drop their children off on the way into work rather than travelling to a separate location for childcare. We provide child care and long day care for families in Croydon Park and the surrounding suburbs, such as Prospect, Enfield and Kilburn.

At drop-off and pick-up times, we encourage families to come into the Centre and meet with our Educators. This is an amazing opportunity to discuss your child’s growth and development, and to find some ways to improve their early childhood education experience. You can also take this time to walk around the learning environment and explore the various resources, materials and activities that your child can engage with throughout the day.

Those aged three and four years old have the opportunity to participate in our Kindergarten program. The Kindergarten curriculum is provided by passionate, university-qualified Educators who place an emphasis on fostering genuine and meaningful relationships with children. The kindergarten room is filled with resources that inspire learning and curiosity, showing children that education is a positive part of life.

Both the three-year-old and four-year-old programs are focused on preparing children for the exciting, but often daunting, transition into primary school. We’ll begin introducing some basic literacy and numeracy skills, providing children with a positive head-start as they enter the first few years of primary school.

Guardian Croydon Park consists of a passionate and enthusiastic educational team that take the time to know and understand your child. We foster growth and curiosity through your child’s unique hobbies, interests and talents, providing them with the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of learning.
