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.
With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment and no two days are the same.
Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.
Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.
As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.
There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.
Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.
There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.
For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.
Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.
As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.
Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.

Learn More About Our Centre
Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook South, is a homely Centre that 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?
At Guardian Childcare & Education Point Cook South we strive to provide the highest quality of education and care for your children. Our innovative teaching methods are designed to help our young learners develop their skills in a safe, fun and stimulating environment. We believe that early years learning should be creative and fun.
Our Educators and Teachers are warm and welcoming and are experienced in providing children with a safe, secure environment to grow and develop freely in their first few years. Our Centre features multiple spacious rooms filled with beautiful colours and natural lights. There are plenty of fun and stimulating materials around the Centre to keep the children engaged and to inspire them to explore their childcare environment.
Our childcare and early learning programs offer many benefits for families, including:
• Kindergarten 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, fosters creativity and supports 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.
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.
We are dedicated to providing proper nutrition to children, and our on-site cook prepares fresh meals daily to ensure each child has the opportunity to develop positive healthy eating habits. Our Educators empower each child to become active in the food preparation process, and many of the children help select ingredients, ask our cook questions and learn about the various nutrients in each meal.
Our family communication app, Storypark, provides our Educators and families with an opportunity to develop genuine reciprocal relationships. We regularly share images, videos, and messages about your child’s progress throughout the day, keeping you informed about your child’s growth, development and learning. We encourage families to use the Storypark app to develop ideas for continuing the learning at home.
For children aged three and four years, we have an amazing kindergarten program that runs with our long day care to help prepare them for their upcoming transitions into formal schooling. Our three-year-old program emphasises developing some of the social and communication skills that the children will use as they gain more independence. We encourage development in these areas through group play and some slightly more structured activities.
In four-year-old kindergarten, children further develop their communication, social and emotional skills, and they also begin exploring some numbers, shapes and phonics. We encourage children to practice reading simple sounds and words on their own, and we empower them through the learning process that comes with this. Through developing skills in these areas, children can feel more ready and confident as they begin their first year of primary school.
Guardian Point Cook South aims to provide children with a wide variety of experiences and learning opportunities, so we offer many different teaching programs throughout the week to help foster growth and development. Children are encouraged to interact with our on-site chef and engage in the cooking process themselves. They may choose to select some fresh ingredients to include in their meal, or they might like to practice serving up their food on their own.
Sustainability is another focus at our Centre, and we empower children to develop an understanding of recycling and other sustainable practices while developing a genuine passion and care for looking after our planet. Our Out & About program encourages children to spend more time playing outdoors in the fresh air and natural sunlight. We have a beautiful, spacious outdoor environment for the children to explore and practice engaging their imaginations and creativity.
We develop each child’s literacy and numeracy skills to help them feel confident and prepared during the challenging leap into primary school. Our program supports the needs and routines of each of our families, and we ensure each child’s cultural background is supported and encouraged.
As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families will be able to gain an understanding of their child’s education. Our Learning Exchange Display will provide the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share updates on your child’s progress. It will also be a chance for you to have direct input into your child’s learning!
Why not come and meet the team and have a look around our Centre today? We’d love to show you why Guardian Point Cook South is the perfect learning environment for your child. At Guardian, we believe that together, we can create life-long learners.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Our Learning Programs
Learning should be fun! Learning through play encourages children to explore and understand their world at their own pace. It helps build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Learning should be fun! Learning through play allows children to build their knowledge, develop confidence, and embrace curiosity.
Kindergarten Program
Our specialist two-year kindergarten/preschool program is led by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Children explore and understand their world in an environment of safety and security. It’s where they develop the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to thrive.
Out and about
Through excursions, children are supported to expand their world, to get to know their community, and have a sense of belonging. Their learning thrives when they feel safe, welcome, and that they belong.
STEM
Children discover the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through age-appropriate activities that are designed to foster curiosity and develop foundational skills like problem-solving and creativity.
Cooking
Cooking experiences teach numeracy by counting ingredients, and weighing and measuring quantities and volume, while managing these tasks supports independence and confidence.
Ella Language
Learning languages through Early Learning Languages Australia (ELLA) supports brain development and social skills and creates opportunities to celebrate cultural diversity.
Joy of Reading
Reading aloud to children each day inspires imagination and supports thinking. Books with rhythm, rhyme and word patterns make stories more playful and memorable.
Sustainability
From growing veggies and foraging in the garden for that day’s meal ingredients to learning about recycling, children learn about being part of a community, connecting to their environment and understanding their impact on the world.

From centre tour, to transition sessions, to my son starting care here was all of 1 week. They were very to get everything sorted for our family when we needed care quickly and my son has settled in better than expected. He enjoys going and being in care and he is always learning new things. It has also helped us in getting him to a more manageable routine at home, including dropping his need to contact nap which has been super helpful. The communication is excellent and I have the utmost confidence in her educators

My son has been going to the care for almost 2 years now. I think the care has great team of people working there. The management and educators in the care are kind, and always listening to what your needs are. This is not easy when you have so many kids and parents around :) I have seen my son growing with confidence, learning to eat solid foods and speaking clearly to all. I see all this to be very positive. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. Lucky to have found this, and trust me we have checked a few before we finally settled here. one of the best decisions as a parent.

It is an absolutely great place for toddlers. As a parent I highly recommend this place for your little ones.Guardian Childcare Point Cook South has very caring, warm and understanding stuff members which makes me feel very comfortable to leave my baby boy there given I am a 1st time parent. Guardian provides daily updates on routine chart as well as photos towards the end of each day.

Our daughter (age 1) has not only been nurtured and well-cared for but also grown in confidence as a young learner. The staff are beyond professional, caring and great teachers. There are a variety of activities offered, including music, art and outdoors. They respect a child’s individual needs and are proactive in communicating with family. The staff are firm in setting good routines and boundaries for children. The children are kept safe and well-fed! I feel priviledged to have this daycare centre in our family’s life. It has been life-changing. Thank you.

i truly Love this place. My son has been attending for a few months now and I love it. Everyone from admin like Kim and Simone are totally helpful and accomodating. I couldn’t trust my son to anyone like I trust Steff and Beth they are the dream team. Thank you so much for always helping me in my quirky ways like using clothing nappies and my odd shape bottle to feed my LO. Thank you for going above and beyond when as a first time mum who is still trying to understand what she is doing you guys are supportive and even help out when silly me under pack his bag. I love that point cook has such a wonderful franchise with one of the highest standards and story park is a massive bonus
