Early Learners
Every day is a new opportunity for discovery and growth at Guardian Early Learners – Altona North. With a range of resource-rich environments, including mud pits, wobbly bridge, a boat, and a range of age-specific ateliers, children are encouraged to explore and learn.
The light-filled and spacious centre also has access to a school hall, which we utilise as a third kinder room, light atelier and as a space for our holiday care program. With a strong sustainability program, the centre boasts multiple herb and vegetable gardens, worm farms and compost bins.
Children get out and about on weekly excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We visit locations such as Bunnings and the local library.
We are proud to have a diverse team of Educators and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays, including our end of year concert, which brings in over 500 guests.
Our on-site chef prepares six nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our community-minded chef and Educators host cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.

Welcome to our centre
“It’s not easy to leave your child in the care of someone else, however, from day one I can comfortably say that your staff have always provided the best care for both my children. I always see all the great things they do with the children but most importantly they are always there to comfort the children and take such great care of them.”
– Ivana Dusenjko, Mickleham Road, Vic
"The transition into childcare was made easy by the supportive and compassionate staff. Daily communication (both email and verbal) kept me up to date with my daughter's progress socially, emotionally and intellectually. The 'child centred' approach is amazing; for my child to make connections to her own world and experiences. She loves going.”
– Sarah Collingwood, Jacaranda – Sunnybank, Qld
"“The team are passionate about being early childhood Educators. The environment is filled with many indoor and outdoor activities allowing a child-led development by following their natural interests (inspired by Reggio Emilia). A philosophy we follow in our home. My four-year-old daughter’s language and social skills have improved greatly.””
– Angela K, Lane Cove, NSW
