Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook South

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: 

• Preschool Program: We help prepare your child for Primary School with our leading curriculum delivered by Teachers with specialist early childhood university degrees. 
• Partnership with Families: Your peace of mind is important to us, so we work with you and your child every step of the way. 
• Community connections. Regular excursions to explore the local area, as well as a ‘home-away-from-home’ approach to care. 
• Wellbeing and nutrition. Nutritionally balanced, seasonal meals and snacks prepared by a dedicated on-site chef, as well as regular cooking classes for the children. 
• Provide real-world inspired environments. Our Centres inspire curiosity, foster creativity and support discovery with a variety of sensory-rich and sustainable spaces designed for early learning that encourage your child to think, question and do amazing things. 

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:  

• Excursions  
• First aid  
• Children and water play  
• Sun protection for children  
• Creating safe environments in our Centre 
• Handling incidents and injuries  
• Illness procedures. 

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.
