Guardian Early Learning – Mulgrave
Every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth at Guardian Early Learning – Mulgrave. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including herb and vegetable gardens, a treehouse, a creek bed, water play, and natural play structures, children are encouraged to explore and learn.
The light-filled and open-plan centre embraces a multi-age learning approach that the children and parents enjoy. At the heart of our centre is a piazza where parents and children gather for family breakfast each morning.
We are proud to have such a culturally diverse team of Educators and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays in our centre throughout the year. As part of our community focus, we’re planning to launch our excursion program later in 2019, to locations such as local cafes, parks, and visiting the families who work in our complex.
Our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our cook hosts cooking classes for the children, and encourages them to assist in making meals. Children enjoy meals in the piazza whilst socialising.
Begin the adventure at Guardian today by booking a tour to explore the centre, chat with our team of Educators and learn more about our high-quality curriculum.

“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
