Take a Look Around

Welcome to our Centre
Welcome to Guardian Childcare Bentleigh, a warm, spacious and vibrant early learning centre in south-east Melbourne. Our early childhood education programs are focused on play-based learning, and our team of qualified Teachers and Educators provide a stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age to discover the world in a safe and secure way.
Our Bentleigh child care centre is located on Boundary Road between South Road and Centre Road, which means drop-off before work has never been more accessible or convenient!
This light-filled, multi-level Centre has a mix of indoor and outdoor learning environments where exciting learning programs and practices come to life. Our Bentleigh day care centre highlights our natural environment, and we have designed resource-rich environments where children are encouraged to explore and learn. Our outdoor learning environments include herb gardens, a water play area, bike paths, natural play structures, and age-specific play areas.
Our passionate Educators value the role of families as a child’s first teacher. We’re committed to developing trusting relationships with children and their families by listening and responding to all aspects of their child’s learning and development. So, our approach is focused on the latest research and insights into learning programs and our children’s learning journey, with an emphasis on developing the specific skills they will need to thrive.
Families will have access to our communication app StoryPark. Here, we will share updates on your child’s day and any other important updates that happen in the Centre to make sure you stay informed!
Children and families at Guardian Bentleigh also have the benefit of a two year funded Kindergarten Program led by qualified Teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.
At Bentleigh day care centre, children get out and about on regular excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We often walk to our local shops, post office and primary school, where the children visit the library and get to experience life at ‘big school’ first hand. These real-world experiences build familiarity, help with emotional development and help the children make that exciting transition to primary school.
With a multicultural team of Educators, we celebrate a variety of holidays and occasions throughout the year. To build on our community spirit and teach the children about the world around them, we also host fundraisers for a range of local causes.
Our on-site cook prepares nutritionally balanced meals using fresh seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the Centre, our Educators host cooking classes for the children to enhance their understanding of good nutrition and to encourage them to try new foods and flavours.
