Chadstone

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 and Education Chadstone provides the warmth and comfort of a family home in south-east Melbourne. As a trusted early learning centre in Chadstone, we offer a purpose-built outdoor space accessible from every classroom, giving children plenty of room to run, ride, and explore.  

Our spacious local childcare and daycare centre caters to children aged six weeks to six years, creating a nurturing environment that supports their growth and development. Filled with bright, engaging materials, our early learning centre (ELC) encourages children to explore, spark their curiosity, and discover the exciting world around them.  

At our childcare Chadstone centre, we focus on supporting your child’s early learning journey helping them develop social and emotional skills. Our dedicated team of university-qualified Teachers and Educators create enriching learning experiences tailored to nurture creativity and imagination in a safe and stimulating environment.  

Conveniently open from 6.30am to 6.30pm every weekday, Guardian Childcare Chadstone offers families the flexibility they need for their busy schedules. During drop-off or pick-up, families are welcome to spend time exploring the learning environment with their child.  

Our Educators and Teachers are here to guide you through the various play areas and educational spaces, sharing insights into our approach to learning and offering activities to extend the learning experience at home. We believe in involving the whole family in their child’s care and education, ensuring children feel happy and supported as they learn and grow. Choose Guardian Childcare Chadstone for a local daycare and early learning centre that prioritises your child’s development in a safe, inspiring environment. 

Our family communication app, Storypark, provides you with photos and updates on your child throughout the day, offering you the opportunity to stay informed about your child’s early learning and development. We also set up different learning outcomes for the children through Storypark, which supports them in achieving developmental milestones and understanding new ideas.  

For children aged three and four, we have a kindergarten program led by university-qualified Teachers that can support your child in their preparation for the step up into primary school. Our kindergarten curriculum is based on leading child development research and demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible start to life for your child through quality child care services.  

Our early childhood education program is led by specialist Educational Leaders who guide teaching and learning in a flexible and research-supported way. The leading curriculum supports discovery and gives children the best start to life, as well as being aligned with the National Quality Standard.  

Through our high-quality kindergarten program, children have the opportunity to learn some of the skills that are often only introduced in early primary school. We begin learning and exploring shapes, numbers and letters through fun, play-based activities.  

We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. Our high-quality program supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural and family background is supported and encouraged.     

We’re committed to children’s nutrition, and our on-site cook prepares each meal fresh and packed with all the nutrients that children need at their age. We encourage children to engage in food preparation and to ask questions about where their food comes from, why it’s good for them, and how they can eat it. We also encourage exploration of the cultural heritage behind different foods, helping promote diversity and inclusion from an early age.   

As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families can gain valuable insights into their child’s education. Through our Learning Exchange Display, our Teachers and Educators will share updates on your child’s progress and invite you to have direct input into their learning journey.
