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.

  • 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.

Learn More About Our Centre

Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook South is a clean, fresh and spacious child care centre, with beautiful natural light that streams into every room. Outside, a love of nature is fostered through three custom designed spaces.

Our nursery children have a secluded space in which to safely explore nature with friends their own age. Our toddler yard have a large shaded space perfect for picnics, with construction materials and a home corner for imaginative play. Finally, our large yard is complete with two large sandpits and a digging patch, as well as logs, rocks and mud pit for the most adventurous explorers!

The children love visits from families and special guests, with the opportunity to learn about everything from pets and recyclable materials to musical instruments. Cultural celebrations are also popular, predominantly Indian and Chinese, to honour the backgrounds of many of our children.

Our qualified chef cooks delicious multicultural meals based on the latest nutritional guidelines for children. All religious and dietary requirements are catered for, with a seasonal menu that rotates every five weeks.

Our experienced team of educators encourage the children to make choices about what they want to learn, at their own pace. While flexibility is promoted, personal and educational growth is always paramount.

We believe in creating strong and lasting relationships with families, who are welcome to get involved in everyday life at the centre. From helping with the settling in process to discussing development, our door is always open to ensure you and your child feel happy, confident and secure with our service.
