Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin is renowned for its warm and welcoming environment, with clean and inviting spaces the children love to explore. Our large outdoor spaces are very versatile and provide plenty of open space for energetic bodies, and our undercover spaces mean the rain doesn’t spoil our fun.
The childcare Centre is located on South Road, behind Holmesglen Private Hospital, making it easily accessible to families in the area and surrounding suburbs. We provide learning and long day care for the Moorabbin areas, as well as the surrounding suburbs of Bentleigh, Birghton Highett, Ormond, Carnegie, Clayton and Glen Waverley.
Sports are very popular at our centre, as is our Jump for Joy music and movement program. Cooking classes are another favourite; inspired by our talented on-site cook who is much loved by our families, and prepares the fresh and nutritious meals daily. As a multicultural childcare centre, we also enjoy celebrating different cultures each month, and always invite our families to get involved.
Most of our enrolments are due to strong recommendations from current or past families, which reflect the great relationships our Educators have built with local families over the years. We take the time to understand each new child’s history and background to ensure their unique needs are met. One-on-one discussions are commonplace, and families are encouraged to be part of the learning journey.
Our passionate Educators love where they work, with high standards that translate into high-quality care. To find out more about what our childcare centre has to offer, please contact our friendly team today!
We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. Our program supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural background is supported and encouraged.
As part of our 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!
Why not come and meet the team and have a look around our Centre today? We’d love to show you why Guardian Moorabin is the perfect learning environment for your child. At Guardian, we believe that together, we can create life-long learners.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
