"Each day the children inspire me, their imagination, their understanding and they’re individual identities."
Guardian Childcare & Education Caulfield North is an expansive Centre that is not short on space for your child to explore and learn. The light-filled state-of-the-art Centre boasts a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including four spacious yards, herb gardens, sandpits, shady trees, natural play structures, and a range of age-specific play areas.
Educators at Caulfield North also run French lessons, yoga classes, weekly family breakfasts, and an interactive indoor/outdoor program for the children to enjoy. Among these programs are some exciting projects, including harvesting vegetables in the toddler room, watching eggs hatch and caring for chicks in the kinder room and eating up a (healthy) storm with the Centre’s onsite chef. Read more on our blog about all the activities available to children at Guardian Caulfield North.
At Guardian Caulfield North we’re focused on teaching children how to learn versus just ticking a box. This approach to education comes to life in our Kindergarten Program, which is led by qualified teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.
Our on-site chef prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the Centre, Educators host regular hands-on cooking experiences for the children to extend on their knowledge of nutrition and to encourage them to try new foods.
At Guardian Caulfield North we’re confident our unique approach to combining education, play and care will be the difference you’re looking for. Book a tour or contact our team today.

Afternoon tea
Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups or with siblings. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.
