Welcome to our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Manifold Heights is NOW OPEN! Book a tour today!

A BRAND-NEW childcare and day care centre, perfectly situated for families living in surrounding suburbs such as Manifold Heights, Herne Hill, Newtown, Highton, Geelong West, and Hamlyn Heights.

Our modern early learning centre contains five beautiful, light-filled learning spaces, designed to offer a warm and stimulating learning environment for children aged six weeks to six years.

Offering a range of indoor and outdoor areas, including dedicated art spaces, ateliers, and various architecturally designed age-specific play spaces – each day is sure to inspire a sense of joy and adventure.

Featuring on-site parking and located close to nearby bus stops, our centre is situated closely to Manifold Heights Primary School, various parks and playgrounds, as well as multiple shops and cafes; making it conveniently accessible to all families.

With a highly dedicated team of Teachers and Educators, our carers take on a personalised approach to learning to ensure that each child receives the best possible care tailored to their own needs.

Unique to Guardian, families will also be able to gain an understanding of the progress of their child’s development through our Visible Learning Program. Located in the centre, our Learning Exchange Display provides the opportunity for families to connect with our team to discuss their child’s learning and progress.

Families also have access to our leading Kindergarten program, designed specifically to prepare children for a smooth transition from childcare to Primary School, which focuses on play-based experiences that:

  • Teach the basic numeracy and literacy skills needed for academic success and;
  • Have clear learning outcomes that deliver on the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standard for Early Childhood.

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 $2,050 a year for children aged three years old and above in eligible long day cares in 2024. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre. 

Families will also have access to our family communication app StoryPark, where we will share with you any additional updates on your child’s day to day, as well as any other important updates that happen in real-time within the Centre.

My daughter has attended Guardian Manifold Heights full-time for over three months now, and I’ve been more that satisfied with the care being provided. The educator, Tiff provides daily updates via the StoryPark app with heaps of photos and meaningful observations on how my child is spending her days.Thanks team!

My child has been attending Guardian Manifold heights since opening. He loves his educators and really enjoys the activities set out. We were previously at another centre before moving to this centre and couldn’t be happier, he no longer cry’s at drop off and there are wonderful changes being made since the new manager Ash came on board.We love that the centre celebarates special days and involves families in providing feedback to make improvements at the centre.
