Pascoe Vale Early Learning Centre & Kindergarten

Every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth at Pascoe Vale Early Learning Centre & Kindergarten. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments – including three spacious outdoor yards – children are encouraged to explore and learn.

The light-filled and warm centre also has candles and oil burners in each room, herb and vegetable gardens, a climbing forte, mud pits, a copper water wall, a rain tank, yoga experiences, and a range of age-specific ateliers.

Children get out and about on regular excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We visit various locations including the community garden, park, the post office, supermarket and primary school.

We are proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year. The team also organise a range of fundraising events for the children to be involved in.

Our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. The children and Educators enjoy venturing into the centre’s garden to gather food to use in meals and cooking classes throughout the week.

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.
