Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin

Every day is a new opportunity for discovery and growth at Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin. With a range of resource-rich environments, including a water pump, natural climbing structures, a bush kinder area, and a range of age-specific ateliers, children are encouraged to explore and learn.

Children get out and about on weekly excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We visit locations such as local cafes, the reserve, and the hospital and TAFE next door.

We are proud to have a diverse team of Educators and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year.

Our on-site chef prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. To further explore food at the centre, our community-minded Educators host cooking classes for the children to get involved in to enhance their understanding of good nutrition.

When making your way to the centre, the first thing you see is the hospital. Continue driving past the hospital, past the TAFE and drive until you reach the end of the road where you will see a white picket fence and our centre behind it.

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.

Rhythm of The Day

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.

  • From 6:30am

    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.

  • From 7:00am

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

  • Morning

    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.

  • Morning

    As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.

  • Morning

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

  • Mid-morning

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

  • Afternoon

    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.

  • Afternoon

    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.

  • Afternoon

    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.

  • End of the day

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

  • End of 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.

Our Educators

Our team of Educators are committed and passionate about ensuring your child will be safe, nurtured and cared for every day. At Guardian, children are encouraged to engage in interest-led play that creates learning and meaningful experiences.

Our Educators seek to optimise diverse learning opportunities and implement the Curriculum as framed by the Early Years Learning Framework.

You and Your Child

All Guardian Centres provide a Centre-to-Family communication platform so families can maintain contact with their children’s experiences through photos, stories and learning outcomes.

Our Centres use Storypark and each family is provided with a secure login to access on their computers, mobiles or apps.

Learn More About Our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin is renowned for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, 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.

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 view their child’s portfolio and learn about their programs.

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 have dozens of early learning and childcare centres in Victoria, so even if you move house or relocate to a new workplace, you’ll never have to worry about your child missing out or having to transition to a completely new environment — there’s bound to be a Guardian Early Learning centre near you.
