Ana R.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our son is receiving at Guardian Moorabbin. Since joining the nursery early this year, he has come leaps and bounds in his development and I have no doubt that has been helped along by the amazing team at the centre, in particular Nahi and Mandii. They do a wonderful job engaging the kids in a range of daily activities which our son absolutely loves. Couldn’t recommend more highly to families in the area.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ana, for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear your son has made such incredible progress since joining our Nursery earlier this year. It's lovely to know he's enjoying the daily learning experiences and activities, and that Neha and Mandii have made such a positive impact on his development and your family's experience. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for trusting us to be part of your son's early learning journey.
Nimita D.
We have been part of the Guardian Moorabbin family for over four years, and it has been a wonderful experience for our family.

Our daughter’s transition from home to childcare was almost seamless. She thrived under the care of educators such as Sharmalee, Nisha, Aashima, Natalie, and many others over the years. Through the centre’s learning and development programs, she achieved countless milestones and reached major personal goals, including walking, toilet training, transitioning away from naps, and developing her language skills. The supportive, structured, and nurturing environment played a significant role in her growth and development.

Our son’s transition from full-time home care to childcare has been more challenging. Illness, separation anxiety, and other factors made it difficult for him to attend consistently during his first few months. Despite this, Neha and Mandii have worked tirelessly to create a caring, reassuring environment where he feels safe, secure, and happy. As a working mother juggling many responsibilities, it provides immense peace of mind knowing my son is in the hands of trusted and capable educators each day.
Neha and Mandii go above and beyond in their communication, particularly during difficult morning drop-offs. Whether through photos and updates via the app or a thoughtful courtesy call, they provide comfort and reassurance that is greatly appreciated as a parent. The educators also tailor routines to each child, carefully introduce new experiences, and adapt their approach to meet individual needs while encouraging ongoing growth and development.

Overall, Guardian Moorabbin has consistently demonstrated excellent communication, flexibility, and a genuine commitment to supporting families. The team has always been accommodating with schedule changes, casual day requests, and our family’s detailed dietary requirements. Despite the natural staff changes that come with any long-standing centre, the culture at Guardian Moorabbin has remained warm, welcoming, and inclusive. Given that such an important part of our children’s formative years has been spent here, that sense of community and care means a great deal to our family.

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Guardian Moorabbin and deeply grateful for the care, dedication, and support shown by the educators and wider team over the years.

Thank you to all the educators who have played such an important role in our children’s early years, helping them feel safe, supported, and confident while nurturing their growth and development. Watching both of our children thrive in such a warm, inclusive, and caring environment has been truly reassuring as parents. We highly value the relationships we have built with the team and would wholeheartedly recommend Guardian Moorabbin to other families seeking a high-quality early learning experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Nimita, for your incredibly thoughtful review and for being part of our community for the past four years. It has been a privilege to support both of your children through such important milestones in their early learning journeys. We're delighted to hear your daughter thrived under the guidance of Sharmalee, Nisha, Aashima, Natalie and the many educators who have supported her over the years, and that Neha and Mandii have provided your son with the patience, reassurance and individualised care he needed during his transition into care. Knowing that our communication, flexibility and genuine support have given your family peace of mind means so much to us. Your recognition of our team's dedication, especially in tailoring care to each child's unique needs, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your trust, your kind recommendation, and for allowing us to be part of such a special chapter in your family's life. We look forward to continuing to support your children as they learn, grow and thrive.
Michelle D.
Our son has absolutely thrived at Guardian Moorabbin, and we couldn't be happier with the care and support he's received. As parents, it's incredibly important to know that he's happy, comfortable and genuinely enjoys going each day. We've loved watching him build real friendships with both the other children and the educators, which has made his time there so special.

A special thank you to Angie and Mandii, who have been exceptional educators. Their kindness, patience and genuine care have given us complete peace of mind, knowing our son is in such capable and caring hands. They have played such an important role in helping him grow in confidence and flourish.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Michelle, for your wonderful review. It means so much to hear that your son has thrived during his time with us. Seeing children grow in confidence, form meaningful friendships and look forward to coming to the centre each day is exactly what we strive for. Angie and Mandii will be so grateful for your kind words and recognition of the care, patience and support they've provided. Thank you for placing your trust in us and allowing us to be part of your son's early learning journey.
NAVIN B.
We started sending our son to Guardian Moorabbin in March, although the first couple weeks was challenging, Neha and Mandi at Nursery kept us informed and ensured us that our worries were normal and our child was developing according to plan. Did not take long before he moved up to the Toddler room and loving it! Thank you, Gunjan and the rest of the team at Guardian Moorabbin, we will definitely recommend your centre to family and friends!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Navin, for your wonderful review. We know starting childcare can be a big transition for both children and families, so we're delighted to hear that Neha and Mandi were able to support and reassure you during those early weeks. It's fantastic to hear your son has settled so well into the Toddler room and is loving his days with Gunjan and the team. Thank you for your trust, your kind recommendation, and for allowing us to be part of your son's early learning journey.
Kristina H.
Neha and Mandi in the nursery room are wonderful! Our daughter loves being there
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kristina, for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear your daughter loves her time in our Nursery. Neha and Mandi will be delighted to know they've made such a positive impact on your family's experience. Creating a warm, caring and engaging environment where children feel safe and happy is so important to us. Thank you for your kind words and for being part of our community.
Natasha D.
Our son has been going to Guardian for around four months now in the nursery room and he loves it. Neha and Mandii particularly in his room are lovely carers and pick up on detailed things about how he is feeling each day he’s there or if he is not acting like himself. Very quick responses from the centre on things like CCS costs and changes as well. Thanks to the whole team ❤️
Response from the owner:Thank you for your lovely review, Natasha. We're so pleased to hear that your son has settled in so well and is enjoying his time with us. It’s wonderful to know that Neha and Mandii have built such a strong connection with him and that their attentiveness and care have given you confidence and reassurance. We're also glad that you've found the team responsive and supportive when it comes to enrolment and CCS queries. Thank you for your kind words and for trusting us with your son's early learning journey.
Reina C.
After moving from Brisbane, we visited a few daycare centres in the area, but as soon as we walked into Guardian Moorabbin, it just felt like a welcoming community.

The staff are always so friendly and caring and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. Our little girl settled in so well, which meant the world to us during such a big transition. Since starting at Guardian, we’ve watched her confidence, friendships and little personality grow so much with the guidance and support of the incredible educators.

We’re so grateful to have found such a beautiful centre and highly recommend Guardian Moorabbin to any families looking for a nurturing and supportive daycare.
Response from the owner:Reina, thank you so much for your beautiful review and for trusting us during such a big transition for your family. We are so pleased to hear Guardian Moorabbin felt welcoming from the moment you arrived and that your daughter settled in so well. It is wonderful to know you have seen such positive growth in her confidence, friendships and personality with the support of our educators. Your kind words truly mean so much to the whole team. Thank you again for your recommendation and support.
Kylie N.
Absolutely fantastic centre. Professionally managed and run. All staff are so caring and nurturing. Food is high quality, cleanliness is of a high standard. I couldn’t speak more highly of the team and facilities at Guardian Moorabbin. A bonus is it is tucked away off the busy main road which I feel is a must for safety. I would highly recommend this centre.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, Kylie. We’re so pleased to hear how positively you feel about the centre and our team. Creating a caring, safe and well run environment is really important to us, and it’s lovely to know this has come through in your experience. We’re also glad you’ve noticed the quality of our food and cleanliness, as well as the location of the centre. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your support.
Andrea C.
Great centre. Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Andrea, for your kind words and recommendation. We’re so glad you’ve had a great experience with us and really appreciate your support.
Amy M.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with this centre, having sent both of our children here. The low staff turnover creates a strong sense of consistency and trust. The educators really know each child and provide thoughtful, personalised updates about their day, which we really value. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Amy, for your lovely feedback and for trusting us with both of your children. We’re so pleased to hear that the consistency in our team has helped build that sense of trust and familiarity. It means a lot to know you value the personalised updates, our educators really take the time to get to know each child and share those meaningful moments with families. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your ongoing support.
michaela D.
My daughter started in the babies room at Guardian Moorabin when she turned one. I was reluctant to put her into care but have had a positive experience. She loves her carers Neha, Mandii and team. They do great job at making her feel safe and she is flourishing in her new environment. The management team Rachael, Natalie and Gunjan have also offered valuable guidance along the way.
The centre operates well as a team and everyone appears to help each other out where required.
Response from the owner:Michaela, thank you for sharing your experience around your daughter’s start of care with us. It’s completely understandable to feel hesitant about care at that age, so it’s lovely to hear how positive the transition has been for your family. Knowing she feels safe and is flourishing with the support of Neha, Mandii and the team is truly wonderful. Your acknowledgement of the guidance you’ve received from Rachael, Natalie and Gunjan is greatly appreciated. It’s also encouraging that the teamwork you’ve observed across the centre has contributed to your confidence in the environment. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and we look forward to creating many more amazing memories for your family.
bourke C.
We couldn’t be happier with our childcare. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about what they do.

My oldest has been attending for just over 3 years, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. My second child also attends, and without hesitation, we’ll be sending our third as well. That alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in this centre.

The management team are always approachable, friendly, and truly caring. They take the time to listen and make you feel heard and supported.

The educators are fantastic, consistently go above and beyond to create a safe, engaging, and loving environment. They have made my children feel so special, valued, and genuinely loved. It’s clear they take the time to understand every child’s personality, needs, and little quirks. As a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing my children feel happy, secure, and deeply cared for when i’m not there.

I cannot recommend this centre enough. We feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful community.
Response from the owner:Thank you Christine for sharing such a heartfelt experience, we’re so glad your family has felt supported over the past three years and that your children feel happy, secure and truly cared for, it’s wonderful to hear the trust you have in our team and that the educators and management have made you feel heard and valued, we truly appreciate your recommendation and feel lucky to be part of your family’s journey.

Rasha T.
My Son attends the Nursery section with two absolutely amazing instructors Stephi and Jamie who are excellent with kids and make the space in the room a home for our little ones.

Walking into the Guardian, I am always kindly greeted by the staff and the beautiful administration team. Sending my first child to daycare was a very hard decision but The Guardian made it so smooth and light. The first 2 weeks they continuously updated me about my son and how he is cooping. I also felt very comfortable talking to staff about my son and requesting specific recommendations for sleep and food.

I am absolutely grateful for my choice with The Guardian and will recommend it with no doubt to other mum.
Thank you for your unconditional love and care for our babies
Response from the owner:It is wonderful to hear that Stephi and Jamie have made such a positive impact on your son's experience in our nursery room. Our team strives to create a welcoming and nurturing environment, and it's wonderful to know that you feel at home with us. We're glad that we could make the transition to daycare smooth and reassuring for you. Keeping parents updated and comfortable is a top priority for us, and we're happy to hear that our efforts have made a difference. Your kind words and recommendation mean the world to us. Thank you for trusting us with your child's care. We look forward to continuing to support and nurture your little one!

At Guardian Moorabbin, I feel confident knowing my child is safe, supported, and thriving. The educators build genuine relationships, and I can see clear progress in my child’s learning and development every day.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Vijay, for sharing your experience. It’s wonderful to hear you feel confident knowing your child is safe, supported, and thriving. We’re so pleased the educators’ genuine relationships and dedication to learning and development have made such a positive impact. Your feedback means a lot to us!
Fabian L.
Both my kids are at guardian Moorabbin. I am sure all guardian centres are wonderful as it’s an amazing company, but the Moorabbin centre is incredible. The people make it what it is along with great facilities. I consider everyone there family and cannot believe how lucky I am to have such beautiful people assist with my children. Strongly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Fabian, for sharing such a wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear both of your children are thriving and that you feel such a strong sense of connection with the team. Your kind words about the educators and the centre mean so much, and we’re delighted that we feel like family to you! Creating a welcoming, supportive environment is always our goal, and we’re so glad this has been your experience. Thank you for your strong recommendation and for trusting us with your children’s care.
Laura M.
We couldn’t recommend Guardian Moorabbin more highly. The educators provide such genuine care, and we feel complete trust leaving our two children in their hands each day. They’ve created such a nurturing, safe and fun environment — especially for our little girl, who was very resistant to start. The team made her transition so smooth and reassuring, always keeping us informed and going above and beyond to help her settle in!
Response from the owner:We’re so touched by your kind words and heartfelt recommendation Laura! It means the world to us to know that you feel such trust in our team. Supporting your little girl through her transition and seeing her thrive in our nurturing, safe, and fun environment is exactly what we strive for every day. We’re so glad to hear that both your children are happy with us and we’ll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to our educators!
Michelle B.
My experience with Guardian Moorabbin has been amazing. The team have gone above and beyond to help our family. Not only are the team their wonderful souls, they have helped the girls to settle in, develop friendships and grow into strong independent little girls who are happy, supported and cared for. They love going everyday and always come home with a smile on their face and happy to return the next. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your amazing review Michelle! It's wonderful to know that our team has gone above and beyond to support your family and help your girls settle in and make friends, supporting them to flourish in their confidence and independence! We're delighted that they love coming to the Centre every day and always return home with a smile. Your high recommendation means the world to us. Thank you for being a valued part of our community!

I love the team at Moorabbin. They have been a brilliant first intro for us into childcare. Always friendly and welcoming us, and always so involved with my child. It makes me happy and reassured knowing that he is being cared for by such lovely humans.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Moorabbin! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us.

The best childcare in the area! I'm so happy with what my daughter has achieved in this centre. She surprises me everyday with what she learns. All the educators are caring and very attentive...everyone is family! It's a great atmosphere for developing your child's social and skills. And parking is so easy!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Ira! We’re so happy your visit at our Moorabbin went so well. We’d love to continue providing great experience to all Guardian families as our children are what matters most. Thanks again!

For my family it's all the 1%-ers - the comments on pick up from her educators that show they really know my daughter, the change of clothes before pick up so she comes home comfortable and fresh and beyond that ALL staff truly know our family (by name, incl. grandparents!) and routine. They are very organised and centre management are all fantastic to deal with.
I also like that updates throughout the day are just enough to feel connected/reassured & other communication is simple and in her note book - it means the educators are focussed on her and not focused on admin/constantly updating an app.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback about our centre in Moorabbin! We are happy to hear such good things about you and your little one’s experience with us. At Guardian, we’re all about partnering with our families to deliver the best quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your review.

Guardian Moorabbin is an excellent childcare our son gets looked after really well by carers as he loves to get ready and go to child care every morning.

The care and attention my girls get at Guardian Moorabbin is amazing. I never worry about them throughout the day as I know they are in good hands. My eldest daughter speaks about her teachers like they are family and tells them how much she loves them! 100% would recommend to other families anxious about starting daycare
Angela J.
My daughter has been at Guardian Moorabbin since April 2020. She started during the first covid lockdown and despite the daycare process and experience being quite different during this time - she was still really warmly welcomed and well oriented, and we had no issues with her integrating and thriving in the new environment. I can't speak highly enough of the educators at the centre. They are all incredibly warm, caring, attentive and FUN! They always have a smile on their face, they know all the kids by name (even those not in their room), and greet every kid with a bug hug/smile to make them feel special every day. The kids also have fantastic, diverse learning and play experiences - and are exposed to many different cultural traditions and ideas. We have enrolled our second child to start at the centre in the nursery later this year and are confident he will have the same great experience as his big sister.
Krystal M.
My son has been attending Guardian Moorabbin for almost 1 year. It was very important to us with Covid restrictions to have a place where he can learn, grow and adapt social skills needed into adulthood. We are very happy with the knowledge and skill set the educators provide to help set him up for life. They not only are very invested in his development but also flexible to the parents needs. Thank you team for all that you do and we know we made the right choice in his education and Childcare.
Response from the owner:Krystal, thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back at our centre with your son. Until then, we’re here if you need anything.
David G.
The team at Guardian Moorabbin have been fantastic. Our son has been going there for the last 10 months from nursery to toddler 1 and has really thrived there. He gets lots of attention from everyone, he loves it and is excited to go. They have a good program in place that helps him grow and reach his milestones.
Drop off and pick up is easy as the team are very helpful. The admin staff are very responsive and knowledgeable. They have a low turnover of staff.
I can't recommend them enough.
Thanks everyone, keep up the good work.
Response from the owner:Thank you David for your feedback on our Moorabbin centre , we are happy to hear such great feedback, here at Guardian, we are all about partnering with our families to deliver high- quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your positive response. Once again thank you for your feedback and look forward to seeing you at the centre!

My daughter loves the team there. It's like dropping her off at an aunties house.
Response from the owner:Thank you Hala for your awesome review on our Moorabbin centre ! We are so glad to hear that your experience with Guardian is so positive. We can't wait to have your daughter back at the centre . Thank you again !

The educators in Toddler 2, Ange, Aurélie and Eunmi are tireless and dedicated educators who have provided outstanding care to our child. They are dedicated and balance education and development with fun and entertainment.
Response from the owner:Thank you Julian for your feedback on our Moorabbin centre , we are so happy that your experience with Guardian is a positive one. We work hard to meet expectations like yours and can't wait to have you back at our centre.
Pamela H.
I love this centre, we have been attending the centre since 2015 and have only good things to say. From nursery through to the kinder room , the staff have been so caring and act like a second family to the kids. There has been a very low turn over of staff over the years which is always a good sign. We are currently in the toddler 2 room and kinder room. The kids do something new each day and learn so much. The centre has a secure online communication platform, our family overseas can login and see what the kids have been up to each day. Cannot recommend Guardian Moorabbin highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you Pamela for your feedback on our Moorabbin centre , we are happy to hear such great feedback, here at Guardian, we are all about partnering with our families to deliver high- quality outcomes for our children and really appreciate your positive response. Once again thank you for your feedback and look forward to seeing you at the centre!

Absolutely beautiful! Our youngest daughter (2.5) attends here 3 days a week in Toddler 2. All of the staff are like family especially to our little one. Every night when our little girl goes to bed she says goodnight to all the kids by name and all the educators. She tells us all the time that she LOVES the educators (by name) and when we leave she insists on blowing them kisses goodbye. We feel so safe sending her and reassured with the care she receives. And if that didn't put our mind at ease the 30-60 photos we receive at the end of the day on Story Park along with a well written outline of the learning objectives really make us feel as if we were with her all day. Guardian Moorabbin was the best decision we've ever made for her education and wellbeing.
Response from the owner:Thank you K for the great review on our Moorabbin centre! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back at our centre with your daughter. Until then, we’re here if you need anything.
Narell M.
We have sent all 3 kids to this centre and are very happy with the teachers and carers. Our youngest is in toddler one room were she is looked after by Nasrin and her team whom are all very caring and professional. The majority of the room leaders have been with Gaurdian Moorabbin for many years and really create a lovely bond with all the families.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Stewart! We’re so happy your visit at our Moorabbin Centre went so well. We’d love to continue providing great experience to all Guardian families as our children are what matters most. Thanks again!

Lauren K.
My son has been going to Guardian Moorabbin now for 3 years. The best decision I made to move him here. The staff are absolutely amazing. The care they have for the children is brilliant. My son walks in with a smile every day. He has learnt so much from the great educators teaching him. The new centre manager Pryia is absolutely brilliant. Has brought such positivity to the staff, families and especially the children. The offer me such support through all the tough times and especially through Covid & Lockdowns, the centre remains to keep all the children safe and happy. I highly recommend this centre.

Where should I start from? they provides an exceptional customer service, quality time for bubs, great food and very professional attitude. Yes it may look not new center but for sure this place is trustworthy to have our kids there with piece of mind that they will be safe, in a good hand and surely having fun. Thank you so much for taking care of our little one :)
Amir S.
I sincerely appreciate all the staff in this center. They all provide excellent service and work very hard. My second son is so happy to be there and every morning eager to go and play with his friends. My first son also was in this center for 2 years and was very happy(he is in primary school now)
Thanks so much to everyone in Guardian Moorabbin
Petra K.
I changed to this centre over a year ago. Best decision ever! Right from the beginning I felt confident that my daughter was going to get the care and education she needed because Karl (manager) asked what I was looking for from a childcare centre. I wanted my daughter to be 'school' ready so Karl placed her into the Kinder room to make sure that my needs were met. Karl and the team at Guardian make sure that not only do they look after your child but they also look after 'their families'.
susie S.
Being a first time mother I had so much anxiety sending our son to daycare. My husband and I visited 8 different centres but none of them “felt right” - until we found Guardian Moorabbin. Whilst the facilities are lovely (clean, inviting rooms and a vibrant, huge outdoor area) it’s the staff who make this centre so special. You can feel and see the genuine care and love they have for the children, and I drop off my son in the morning knowing that he will be happy and cared for. I have met and spoken with many of the other parents at this daycare and they all have expressed the same sentiment, so I’m confident that this opinion is shared throughout the centre’s community. Another huge bonus for me is that it is tucked away behind Holmesglen TAFE, completely away from the main road and public walkways, which adds to it feeling very safe and secure (also being right near the Holmesglen hospital gives me more peace of mind in case of emergency). Love this place.

We could not be happier with the care, love, encouragement and support our child and our family has been provided at Guardian Moorabbin. Our daughter has flourished in their care and constantly talks about her educators, her friends and the many daily activities provided at the center. The staff have been professional at all times. They are highly responsive and proactively work with us while respecting our parenting style and our particular child's routine and needs. We love Guardian Moorabbin and the extended family they have created for us.

My children are both incredibly happy here. My kinder daughter asks me every day if she's going to care that day, she learns so much! The things she comes home explaining to me has me flawed.
The educators are wonderful, always professional and always go above and beyond for my children.
Never felt a centre that feels like home to us. I feel like I've found my extended village.
Highly reccomend

Rhythm of the Day

We know children and families like routine, so you will always receive a warm welcome each morning and an invitation to stay for breakfast. At the end of the day, a smooth transition is assured with your child’s belongings ready for you after a day that fulfils your child's interests and curiosity. In between, the day is filled with new and exciting experiences to engage young minds as part of their early childhood education. Here’s a glimpse of what a day of play-based learning at our childcare centre often looks like.

Morning

Breakfast time provides a great chance for you to share what is important and how your baby’s night at home was.

Mid-Morning

Your baby will enjoy engaging in both our indoor and outdoor nursery environments with planned experiences like songs and story time, followed by morning tea.

Middle of the Day

Your baby’s lunch times will suit their needs, and with our open-door policy, families are welcome to enjoy lunch/bottle time with your baby. When your baby is ready, they are gently settled for sleep and rest.

Mid-Afternoon

Our planned indoor and outdoor nursery experiences continue with the chance for movement, games and more books and songs, with an afternoon snack provided.

End of Day

The Nursery team are eager to share information about your baby’s day and their learning, preparing you and your baby for a smooth transition to your evening.

Great communication is vital in our collaborative partnerships with families at the Centre. We have a variety of different ways we communicate with you about your child’s learning and progress:


  1. Storypark app - Stay connected to your child's day with regular updates, including photos and learning insights

  2. Pick-up and drop-off updates – Our Educators will share highlights from their day, including experiences they enjoyed, mealtimes, and naps to support your evening routine.

  3. In-room learning exchange displays make our weekly learning plans easy to see so you know what your child will be learning.

  4. Centre Newsletters – Great for community connection and wider Centre and team updates.

  5. Development documentation and meetings for your individual child’s progress.


But remember our door is always open.

Kindergarten Program
Flying start to school

Our Flying Start to School kindergarten program is lead by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Our specialist two-year program is committed to supporting your child as they prepare for big school. We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills. Whether it’s building with blocks, practicing their first letters, or learning to share with friends, every experience is carefully designed to support your child’s development.

Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the VIC Government’s Free Kinder
Program. Eligible children aged three years and above will receive up to $2101 in
additional subsidies to reduce your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when
you tour the centre.

Out and about

Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.

Cooking

Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.

Ella Language

Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.

Joy of Reading

Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.

Sustainability

From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.
