Guardian Early Learning – Richmond
Every day is a new opportunity for discovery and growth at Guardian Early Learning – Richmond. With a range of resource-rich environments, including two spacious outdoor areas, an art atelier, yoga program, and alfresco dining, children are encouraged to explore and learn.
The light-filled centre also features a light atelier, tinker yard, herb and vegetable gardens, and a range of age-specific ateliers where our exciting programs come to life.
As the centre shares a building with the Victoria Guardian Head Office, our team has access to brilliant training programs, and a shared cafe – including a well-loved barista – that we utilise for family breakfast each morning.
We are proud to have a diverse team of Educators and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays, as well as organising our Urban Atelier program for the kindergarten children to connect with our local community.
Our on-site chef prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. The children and Educators often collect vegetables from the garden to add to the daily meals and use in cooking classes, and enjoy lunch in the cafe once a week.
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.

Call our customer Service:
“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
