Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin

Guardian Childcare & Education Moorabbin is located 15km south-east of Melbourne and is a convenient choice for local families and those commuting to Melbourne CBD for work.

The Centre has a range of resource-rich environments, including a water pump, natural climbing structures, a bush kinder area, and a range of age-specific areas for children to explore and learn about the world around them through play-based experiences.

At Guardian Moorabbin, children and families have the added benefit of a Kindergarten Program led by quality teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school. Children also 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 local reserve, and the hospital and TAFE next door.

We have a dedicated on-site chef who prepares nutritious and delicious meals and snacks, using seasonal ingredients, every day. In addition, our educators host hands-on cooking experiences for the children to extend their knowledge of nutrition and to encourage them to try new foods.

Guardian Moorabbin is tucked away and can be a little hard to find. 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 where our Centre is nestled.

Begin the adventure at Guardian Moorabbin today by booking a tour to explore the Centre or speaking to one of our team.

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 7:00am

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There’s a chance to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.

  • From 7:00am

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

  • Morning

    An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.

  • Morning

    Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.

  • Morning tea

    An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and cook.

  • Mid-morning

    Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Lunch

    Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our cook. Families are invited to join the children for meals and excursions if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    If your child wants to, or needs to sleep, it’s time to rest and recharge. For children who don’t need to rest the planned experiences continue, in most cases outdoors.

  • Afternoon tea

    Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.

  • Pick-up

    As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.

  • End of day

    Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary, throughout the day if we notice your child looking tired food will be provided.

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.
