Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook South

Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook South is a light-filled and homely Childcare Centre with a range of spacious indoor and outdoor areas designed to inspire curiosity and exploration.

The Centre boasts three custom-designed yards with vegetable gardens, fruit trees, mud pits, a wooden tepee, natural play structures and a range of other age-specific play areas.

At Guardian Point Cook South, the children get out and about on regular excursions to the local supermarket, the zoo, and Featherbrook Primary School who form an important part of our Kindergarten Program. This program is led by university-qualified teachers who are there to help prepare your child for the exciting transition to primary school.

As part of our community focus, we also have a dedicated parent café in our reception area, where parents can snack on coffee and cakes throughout the day as they do pick-up and drop-off. This community focus was recently on show as our children and families supported bushfire victims through a fundraising car boot sale.

According to Assistant Centre Manager Kim, “We came together to do what we can to assist with the fires currently burning in our country. Families arrived with car boots full to do their part to help. Many discussions with children and their parents were had about the importance of helping people around us who aren’t as fortunate as we are, who may not have the necessities like cereal or a toothbrush. It was amazing to see our community come together and be so generous.”

Our on-site cook prepares meals fresh in the Centre every day, using seasonal ingredients often collected by the children from our on-site vegetable and herb gardens. The Centre also hosts regular hands-on cooking classes for the children, which extends on their understanding of where food comes from and how to establish healthy habits for life.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.
