Mt Eliza

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.

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.

Guardian Childcare and Education Mt Eliza offers the warmth and comfort of a family home, in Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula. Our spacious day care and early learning centre provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age, supporting them to discover the world in a safe and secure way.  

Located on the Nepean Highway, the Mt Eliza centre services a number of local areas, including Mount Martha, Mornington, Frankston South, Baxter, Moorooduc, Osborne, Tanti Park and Somerville. Mt Eliza provides another high-quality care option for families on the Mornington Peninsula.  

The early learning centre in Mount Eliza is filled with bright, stimulating materials that encourage children to explore and engage their curiosity about the exciting world around them. During those crucial early years, children receive support as they develop their social and emotional skills through their learning journey, guided by a dedicated team of university-qualified Teachers and Educators. They create enriching experiences in a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and imagination, providing a safe space for young age groups in child care Mount Eliza.     

Guardian Mt Eliza is open from 7.00am to 6.30pm every weekday, providing plenty of flexibility for drop off and pick up times. During drop-off or pick-up times, we encourage you to stay for a little while and spend some time exploring the learning environment and see how our team is supporting your child’s strong foundation to life.  

Our family communication app, Storypark, provides you with photos and updates on your child throughout the day, offering you the opportunity to stay informed about your child’s early learning and development. We also set up different learning outcomes for the children through Storypark, which supports them in achieving developmental milestones and understanding new ideas.  

For children aged three and four, we have a kindergarten program led by university-qualified Teachers that can support your child in their preparation for the step up into primary school. Our kindergarten curriculum is based on leading child development research and demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible start to life for your child through quality childcare services.  

Through our high-quality kindergarten program, children have the opportunity to learn some of the skills that are often only introduced in early primary school. We begin learning and exploring shapes, numbers and letters through fun, play-based activities.  

We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. Our high-quality program supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s culture and family background is supported and encouraged.     

We’re committed to early childhood wellbeing, and our in-centre cook prepares fresh, nutritious meals packed with all the nutrients growing bodies need. We encourage children to engage in food preparation and to ask questions about where their food comes from, why it’s good for them, and how they can eat it. We also encourage exploration of the cultural heritage behind different foods, helping promote cultural diversity and inclusion from an early age.   

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!
