My son attended Guardian Pascoe Vale for 2 years and we have loved our time there. Everyone knew his name and made us always feel so welcomed. He adored all his educators and it was very obvious that they adored him in return. The admin team are amazing and I’ve ahead found them very responsive.

Our little boy has been at the center since he was a baby...he's now in prekinder and we couldn't ask for a better group of people to leave our precious boy with. The center manager takes time out her her busy schedule every morning to greet us, cuddling and caring for him, making the transition to day away from mummy much easier. His educators share his good and bad days openly, knowing that with their feedback we're able to work on difficulties he may be facing or rewarding his efforts in play. The cost can be steep, but CCS and free kindergarten has made it manageable. Highly recommend this center.

My child had a bad patch after a flu refusing attending the day care. The teachers responded very positively and the behavioural transition they made was so beautiful and incredible.

Both my sons (aged 3 and 1) attend this childcare and I always feel completely confident dropping them off everyday while I work. The educators feel like members of the family, it feels so great to know that they genuinely care about my kids and enjoy looking after them.The boys are always well fed, with a delicious variety of meals, with plenty of nutritious snacks throughout the day.I can't express enough how much respect and gratitude I have for everyone at Guardian Pascoe Vale. They have played such a large role in my children's development.

My 4 year old daughter has been attending since since she was 1 and we could not be happier with the care, education and attention provided by the whole team. They notice and nurture each child as an individual and go above and beyond to teach and love each one.We are very fortunate to have such dedicated child care workers in our neighbourhood.

I have been working at Pascoe Vale Elc before my daughter Sophia was born. The educators at the centre are amazing they go above and beyond to cater to Sophia’s needs. She is so comfortable that every morning she walks right in the office to greet Liz and Jess and then moves on to say hi to all the educators . It takes a whole village to raise a child and Pascoe Vale Elc is my village

I am an Educator at the centre and my beautiful son Albert attends the centre. Late last year I move him here from a centre much closer to home mainly because I was opportuned to see first hand how much effort the management and educators put in caring for children individually to enable them reach their full potential.As an educator/parent I know how important this is in the early stages of a child’s life and I would encourage parents/guardians to give them a try.

My son is now in his second year of 3 days a week at this centre & we've been so pleased with his care. I feel that he really connects with his carers & that they helped him transition smoothly to an older room. I've also been really impressed with the proactive communication from the centre - emails answered quickly, courtesy calls, a daily blog with photos, newsletters.

Welcome to our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Pascoe Vale is a light-filled, warm and welcoming Centre, with a range of exciting, resource-rich environments. There are three spacious outdoor yards where the children are encouraged to explore and learn, as well as herb and vegetable gardens, a climbing fort, mud pits, a copper water wall, rain tank, yoga experiences, and a range of other age-specific play areas.

Guardian Pascoe Vale is one of more than 40 Guardian Childcare Centres in Melbourne and around Victoria, and is a convenient choice for local families seeking high-quality care and education for their children.

The team of professionally-certified early childhood Educators and Teachers deliver an advanced play-based and nature-inspired curriculum, as well as a leading Kindergarten Program to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to school.

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of Free Kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the Centre’s long day care Kindergarten program. Families will save up to $2,050 a year for children aged three years old and above in eligible long day cares in 2024. Ask us for more information when you visit our Centre. 

Children at Guardian Pascoe Vale are fortunate to get out and about on regular excursions, so we have a great connection with the local community.  Favourite locations for the children to visit include our community garden, the park, post office, supermarket and our local primary school, which forms an important part of our transition to school programs.

We have a dedicated on-site cook who prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. The children and Educators enjoy venturing into the Centre gardens to gather herbs and vegetables to use in meals and in the hands-on cooking classes we host each week. These classes are a great opportunity for the children to learn about good nutrition and to test their budding taste buds with new foods and flavours.

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

Learn More About Our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Pascoe Vale is located on Cumberland Road in Pascoe Vale, close to both the Tullamarine Freeway and Bell Street, providing easy access  for commuters in the north and west of Melbourne. We pride ourselves on our  professional, safe, inviting and natural learning environments which warmly welcome all children, families and visitors.

Our centre has 188 places and caters for children from six weeks to five years of age in nine beautifully appointed rooms. We are known for our delicious and nutritious menu which offers breakfast, lunch and three snacks delivered by an innovative cook and kitchen staff. We have strong community partnerships, including those with our local primary schools and we actively support a positive transition to school for our funded kindergarten four and five-year-old children.

Our educational and learning programs are planned for each age group by qualified Educators, supported by a Senior Educational Leader who provides guidance and mentorship. Children’s interests, ideas, strengths and needs are central and we work in partnership with both children and their families to ensure that learning is meaningful.

Our passionate team of Early Childhood Teachers and Educators are guided in their practice by many important documents and statements including, the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, The National Quality Framework, The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics and our own play-based Guardian Curriculum, which itself is largely influenced by the Reggio Emilia Educational Project.

Our learning program includes a combination of structured and unstructured experiences, routines and rituals, and is largely child centred, placing high value on children’s inquiry, their voices and unique differences. Children are celebrated as active and curious learners, capable and competent with rights and agency.

Our learning programs also place value on giving children many opportunities for building their skills with self-help, self-regulation, co-construction with peers, independence, responsibility, persistence, social competence and emotional resilience.

At PVELC we have a culture of inclusivity, joy, empathy and community and look forward to welcoming your family into our family, where everybody belongs!
