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 to share what’s important for the day and any news from home.
From 6:30am
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
Morning
An opportunity to play and discover with open-plan play in family groups and multi-age groupings.
Morning
Planned experiences. This is where the Guardian difference comes to life. Alongside our Educators your child’s exploration leads to learnings in numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, creative arts and much more.
Morning tea
An opportunity for children to come together for a healthy snack, often they help prepare their food alongside our carers and cook.
Mid-morning
Individually tailored to your child’s needs and curiosity the planned experiences continue, this includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
Lunch
Another nutritious meal expertly prepared by our cook. Families are invited to join the children for meals and excursions if they wish.
Afternoon
If your child wants to, or needs to sleep, it’s time to rest and recharge. For children who don’t need to rest the planned experiences continue, in most cases outdoors.
Afternoon tea
Another chance for the children to come together and re-fuel in small groups. There is also an opportunity to rest or play together and reflect on the day.
Pick-up
As you arrive to pick up your child, there’s a chance to speak with our Educators and share news about the day. Our Storypark App also allows you to stay in touch 24/7 wherever you are.
End of day
Your child is encouraged to grab a light snack before they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary, throughout the day if we notice your child looking tired food will be provided.
Open 6:30am to 6:30pm
Monday to Friday
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.
Point Cook South, a homely Centre which features vegetable gardens, fruit trees, mud pits, and a wooden teepee. But aside from the magical setting, what makes Guardian Point Cook South so special?
Our childcare and early learning programs offer so many benefits for families, including:
Our Centre at Point Cook South inspires curiosity, foster creativity and support discovery with a variety of sensory-rich, real-world, sustainable spaces designed for early learning. The environment plays a huge factor in learning outcomes for children, so we pride ourselves on helping children and families feel welcome and able to build a sense of belonging, which supports our teaching.
Children are provided with a wide range of resources and materials to inspire their learning and development. We focus on real-world, ‘open-ended’ materials that encourage creativity, problem-solving and physical development. This type of play launches children into an environment where the learning opportunities are endless.
We’re also dedicated to health and wellbeing at Guardian Point Cook South. The health, safety and wellbeing of our people – big and small – is always our highest priority. We know parents are busy, so our policies – whilst grounded in safety – also consider life’s practicalities.
Our team members are all trained to appropriately manage the various situations that can arise in a childcare setting, which include:
We have additional healthy and safety measures in place such as designated pick up and drop off locations and procedures; routine temperature checks to manage illness; a diligent approach to hygiene and hand washing; and effectively raising and consulting on safety or wellbeing concerns.
In addition, educating children about the importance of healthy eating and wellbeing is an important part of early childhood development. We believe in providing a positive eating environment that reflects dietary requirements, cultural and family values, and promotes lifelong learning for children.
We’re also incredibly passionate about connections, communication and being an active part of our local community at Point Cook South.
With excursions into our local community to explore and learn, plus a variety of incursions and in-Centre events – our practices and programs focus on collaboration, diversity, uniqueness and experiences that open up young minds to a world of possibilities.
The first five years of a child’s life are full of wonder and opportunity. We’re here to help you get the absolute most out of this time.
Guardian Point Cook South services a number of local areas, including: Western gardens, Laverton South, Point Cook, Williams Landing, Hoppers Crossing and Werribee.
