Your child will run smiling through our doors each morning – and greet you excitedly every afternoon with tales of what they’ve done that day. Because at Guardian, it’s all about fun, play and what they learn along the way.
Our Abbotsford Centre, previously known as ‘Little Explorers Childcare’, is a fantastic environment for children to explore and become curious and imaginative learners. We welcome babies as young as six weeks, and work with families through the age stages until finally preparing our older children for the exciting transition to primary school with our leading Kindergarten Program. Our long day care model is great for children and families.
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, this beautiful community childcare centre will give your child the start they deserve.
Guardian Abbotsford is rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard for childcare, and it’s not hard to see why…
- Caring and experienced team – Our Centre Manager Nakita leads a team with decades of experience in childcare, who have been with the Centre for many years. Our dedicated and caring educators will welcome your child in a warm and nurturing environment.
- Support with the Child Care Subsidy. Nakita and our team will support you to understand what government support you may be entitled to and how to apply.
- Easy for families – We’re tucked away from the main road, but with the added benefit of on-site underground parking. There is also tram, bus and train transport on our doorstep, making your life easier on those busy mornings and afternoons.
- Learn through play – With great resources and amazing indoor and outdoor spaces – including an expansive rooftop garden – your child will have room to explore and flex their curiosity and creativity.
- Regular communication with you – You’ll be kept up to date through our family communication app, StoryPark, and our unique Visible Learning Program gives you a great understanding of your child’s learning for the day at pick up. It will give you plenty to talk about with them on the drive home!
- Community connections – Fun and confidence-boosting local excursions for all ages, plus a wide range of cultures represented in our Centre to help you feel welcome – no matter your background. We boast several multi-lingual Educators who speak a number of languages including Vietnamese, Mandarin, Greek, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Arabic and Cantonese.
- All the extras – Long care hours, an on-site chef and all the added value you would expect from the highest-quality childcare centre.
At Guardian Abbotsford we provide specialised care for every age group, plus learning experiences designed to cater to Babies, Toddlers and Kindergarten children.
Babies. Our Nursery Team includes a ‘Baby Ambassador’, Irene, who specialises in the developmentally appropriate care and learning of babies. One-on-one time and cuddles are prioritised for your baby, with the security of always having a familiar Educator close by who knows your baby – and his or her routines – inside out.
Toddlers. Our Centre is set across multiple levels which creates an environment where our toddlers can safely explore their growing independence through play-based learning. We host regular excursions into the local community to extend their learning outside the Centre, visiting locations such as parks, playgrounds, cafes and shops.
Kindergarten. Our Kinder Teacher Julie works with you to discuss your child’s readiness to ensure they move to our Kindergarten program when it’s time for them. We are a participating provider for the government-funded program that will save families up to $2000 for any child in 2021 with the intention of starting school in 2022. Our program is specifically designed and delivered to prepare your child for the exciting transition to primary school – all with the added benefit of long care hours for our families.
It’s not hard to see why Guardian Abbotsford is a great choice for your child, no matter their age. We invite you to come and see for yourself. Enrolling now for all ages.
