"We are here to foster and support children’s learning, but children teach us so much in return."
Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook North (formerly Play & Learn) is located a short drive from Hoppers Crossing, Truganina, Werribee and Seabrook, and is a great option for local families wanting high-quality childcare close to home or on the way to the CBD for work.
The light-filled Centre boasts a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including a creek bed, purpose-built hills and tunnels, water play areas, vegetable gardens, natural climbing structures, and a range of age-specific studios and spaces.
At Guardian Point Cook North children are encouraged to explore and learn, with 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 get out and about on weekly excursions, visiting locations such as parks, our local aged care facility, the local primary school, and the café for babyccinos! Plus, our on-site cook prepares five nutritionally balanced meals every day, with the children and Educators often collecting vegetables from the garden to add to their meals and to use in cooking classes.
Begin the adventure at Guardian Point Cook North today by booking a tour to explore the Centre or speaking to one of our friendly team.

At Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook North your child will be nurtured and cared for by our team of Educators who will support your child as they learn and grow. Through a range of fun-filled learning experiences, we ensure your child is developing skills that will set them up for a lifelong love of learning.
Community is a big part of daily life at our centre. We offer exciting experiences for all age groups including excursions to the local school, park, cafe and aged care facility. Even our youngest community members can take part in these excursions through the use of our eight-seater pram. Our regular visits from our local vet are always a highlight for both the children and Educators!
Our newly renovated outdoor yards are a wonderful feature of our centre where children are free to play and discover. Children are able to explore sustainability concepts through caring for the gardens, spend time constructing in our sandpits and take appropriate risks through running, jumping and playing in our open spaces.
We cater our services at the centre to make life easier for our busy families. We provide nutritionally balanced meals prepared by our own chef in our centre kitchen and provide necessities such as nappies, sunscreen and bedding for nap times.
