Welcome to our Centre

Come and join the Guardian family at our new, purpose-built childcare centre in Box Hill – we can’t wait to welcome you! At Guardian Box Hill North, children aged six weeks to six years will be supported to be creative, bold and imaginative in their learning. 

We are thrilled that this marks the second Guardian child care centre in Box Hill! We already have strong ties with the local community, and a deep understanding of what families in the area value most when choosing their childcare and education provider. With two early learning centres to choose from, families looking for ‘childcare nearby’ are well served. 

Located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Guardian Box Hill North is an ideal choice for local families seeking high-quality care. It is also a great choice for families living in bordering suburbs, including Blackburn, Mont Albert, Bennettswood, Balwyn and Canterbury. 

At our Box Hill North long day care centre in Melbourne, children will have a stimulating, warm and supportive environment to explore their world in a secure, safe way. A diverse team of university-qualified Teachers and qualified Educators will ensure that each child receives care tailored to their needs through a personalised approach to play-based learning. 

Our Box Hill North early learning centre will have world-class facilities including: 

  • Seven world-class learning spaces across two levels, filled with the best educational resources 
  • Expansive outdoor spaces on both levels, with a bike track, tepee, sandpit, climbing equipment and natural play structures 
  • Leading learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking, Outdoor Learning, Out & About Community Excursions, Sustainability and more 
  • On-site Chef providing fresh meals daily, full of the best seasonal ingredients 

Our early learning centre will also provide baby nappies, SPF 50+ sunscreen, all nutritious meals and snacks, high-quality formula and bed linen. 

Children at our new Box Hill North child care centre will also have the chance to see the same familiar faces as they move on up from the nursery room, into our two-year funded kindergarten program, designed specifically to help prepare each child for a smooth transition from early learning to primary school. 

As part of Guardian’s unique Visible Learning Program, families will be able to gain an understanding of their child’s education. Our Learning Exchange Display will provide the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share updates on your child’s progress. It will also be a chance for you to have direct input into your child’s learning! Families will have access to our communication app Storypark, allowing us to share important Centre updates, as well as exciting activities or milestones – ensuring that you remain connected, day-to-day. 

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of Free Kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the centre’s long day care Kindergarten program. Families will save up to $2,101 a year for children aged three-years-old and above in eligible long day cares in 2025. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre.

If you’re considering a new, high-quality early learning centre in Box Hill for 2024, now is the perfect time to inquire! Come meet our Centre Manager and our wonderful team, who are dedicated to supporting your child’s learning and helping them reach their full potential. We look forward to hearing from you!

We couldn't believe our luck when this centre opened. It wasn't too far, it was new, and it had vacancies for the days we wanted. And more importantly, it was GOOD.The educators are simply amazing and extremely caring, especially important in the first few days with bubs adjusting to the new environment. The management team are prompt, clear and thorough with their communication and processes. No stone is left unturned.There are also a myriad of activities that the kids can participate in that help to stimulate their learning and development. Our little one certainly gets excited about the different things they get to do.All in all, we're very glad we found such an amazing place where our child can thrive. 10/10

Impressed with our tour in this centre with Sue. She’s been very patient and very thorough with details as she was showing us around. Not only is it newly opened with modern facilities, but also tidy, organised, well-lit and ventilated. It’s quite a big centre, with a wide range of ways to learn and play both indoors and outdoors for babies and toddlers. Staff were warm and welcoming too. We havent exprienced their services firsthand yet as we only did the tour, but have no reasons why we cant have our bub placed in here. Five stars!

I am thoroughly impressed with Guardian Childcare at Box Hill North. While the shiny, modern building and an abundance of engaging toys are certainly notable, it’s the exceptional care and dedication of the educators and management that truly set this facility apart. The warmth and professionalism of the staff create a nurturing environment that is rare to find. The commitment to each child’s development and well-being is evident, making Guardian Childcare a standout choice. You won’t find this level of attentive care and excellent management just anywhere, no matter how many shiny buildings you come across. Highly recommended!

This is a good centre that doesn't update a flood of photos in 'story park' as if your child is in an Instagram modelling boot. If you are big on photos, don't go. Children here seem well-fed, rested and participating in inclusive group activities. Staff members have a none-for-profit work ethic; the operational team is attentive and responsive. No doubt they are resource-rich; the only downside is there are only 15-20 visitor parking in the basement. Overall, worth a visit and experience.

Rhythm of the Day

We know children (and families) like routine. Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.

Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.

Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

What's included in the Guardian Experience

From nutritious meals and engaging learning programs —it’s all covered in your daily rate. No hidden extras, just peace of mind for you and a great day for your child.

Our Box Hill North centre, with long day care services, is filled with bright, stimulating materials that encourage children to explore and engage their curiosity to discover more about the exciting world around them.  

Children receive vital support during their early years, allowing them to explore and develop their social and emotional skills through a dedicated team of university-qualified teachers and educators.

At Guardian Childcare and Education Box Hill North, we provide exceptional quality ratings that reflect our commitment to offering high-standard early learning experiences. Families can attend our centre confidently, knowing that their children’s interests and developmental needs are at the forefront of our educational philosophy. From birth through to school care, our programs are designed to cater to each child’s unique journey, seamlessly bridging the gap between family day care and more structured educational settings. We pride ourselves on fostering an environment where every child’s curiosity is nurtured, ensuring they feel supported and valued every step of the way. 

Guardian Box Hill North operates from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm every weekday, offering families the flexibility to accommodate their work hours and choose convenient drop-off and pick-up times. We encourage parents to stay a while during these times to explore the engaging learning environments at our child care centre.

We encourage involving the whole family in their child’s care and education to ensure they are happy as they learn and grow.   

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.

All our early learning programs are based on current research and align with the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards.

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 program, children can 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.     

At Guardian Childcare and Education Box Hill North, we’re dedicated to children’s nutrition and health. Our on-site cook prepares meals fresh and rich in essential nutrients for growing bodies. We encourage children to participate in food preparation and learn about the origins of their food, why it’s beneficial, and how to enjoy it. This exploration also includes understanding the cultural heritage of various foods, promoting diversity and inclusion from an early age. 

As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families will gain insights into their child’s education. Our Learning Exchange Display offers updates on your child’s progress, and it’s a great opportunity for you to contribute to their learning journey.

Kindergarten Program
Flying start to school

Our Flying Start to School kindergarten program is lead by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Our specialist two-year program is committed to supporting your child as they prepare for big school. We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills. Whether it’s building with blocks, practicing their first letters, or learning to share with friends, every experience is carefully designed to support your child’s development.

Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the VIC Government’s Free Kinder Program. Eligible children aged three years and above will receive up to $2101 in additional subsidies to reduce your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

Out and about

Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.

STEM

Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.

Cooking

Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.

Ella Language

Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.

Joy of Reading

Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.

Sustainability

From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.
