Guardian Childcare & Education Tullamarine

We’re excited to announce that Guardian Childcare & Education Tullamarine is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

The Centre is bursting with exciting and resource-rich environments – including three spacious outdoor yards for children aged six weeks to six years. Featuring pergola areas, shady trees, vegetable gardens, natural climbing structures, a dedicated art room and a range of age-specific studios and workshops, the Centre is a true home away from home for our children.

The Teachers and Educators at Guardian Tullamarine provide wonderful learning programs for children, including a leading Kindergarten Program that also provides all the benefits of long daycare to parents and carers.

Connections to the local community are important at Guardian Tullamarine, so the Centre offers excursions to the zoo, farm, local library and our nearby park. The team and children also take part in community fundraising activities by holding regular cupcake stalls which the children are actively involved with.

Our on-site cook Kevin is also a popular asset to the Centre, preparing nutritionally balanced meals and snacks every day, using seasonal ingredients. The children enjoy these meals at our family dining area and are invited to eat breakfast on arrival each day with their siblings and friends. The children and Educators at Guardian Tullamarine often collect herbs and vegetables from their very own veggie patch to add to their daily meals and to use in cooking classes. Every Friday Kevin hosts a hands-on cooking class with children which goes through different recipes, cooking skills, hygiene and discussions on where food comes from.

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 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.
