Welcome to our Centre

Guardian Childcare and Education Chadstone boasts a range of exciting, resource-rich environments, including a beautifully designed yard with a cubby house and water pump. Our light-filled and homely day care centre in Chadstone also has sandpit areas, worm farms, vegetable gardens, compost bins and a range of age-specific workplaces and play areas. 

The first five years of a child’s life are crucial for fostering social and emotional growth, as well as cultivating a lifelong love of learning. At our Chadstone early learning centre, we focus on teaching children how to learn, rather than simply checking boxes. Our play-based approach to education is at the heart of our two-year funded Kindergarten Program. Led by degree-qualified teachers, this program is designed to support your child’s development and prepare them for a smooth and exciting transition to school. 

Our Chadstone childcare centre offers: 

  • Quality learning programs such as Joy of Reading, Cooking and Sustainability 
  • Engaging indoor learning spaces full of quality educational resources 
  • Expansive outdoor play spaces with a sandpit, shady trees and veggie garden 
  • On-site Chef providing fresh snacks and meals daily 
  • Nappies, SPF 50+ sunscreen, high-quality formula and bed linen provided 
  • Extended hours of care each weekday from 6.30am to 6.30pm 

At our child care in Chadstone, we are proud to have a culturally diverse team and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year. In addition to hosting a range of visitors throughout the year, the children go on regular excursions out into the community. 

Children attending our Centre will also have the chance to see the same familiar faces as they move on up from our nursery room, into our kindergarten program, designed specifically to help prepare your child to transition from early learning to primary school. 

As part of our unique Visible Learning Program, families have the chance to gain an in-depth understanding of their child’s learning. Easily accessible for families, our Learning Exchange Display provides the opportunity for our Teachers and Educators to share with you any updates on their progress every day. You will also have the chance to share with us your own personal goals and visions for us to implement, having direct input in your child’s educational journey! 

Families will also be given access to our family communication app Storypark, where we will share with you any significant updates in your child’s day, as well as any other important updates that happen in the centre – ensuring that you’re always connected, even when you’re not here. 

Our on-site Cook prepares nutritionally balanced and delicious meals using seasonal ingredients every day. The children and educators often collect herbs and vegetables from the gardens to add to the daily meals and to use in regular hand-on cooking classes. These experiences help the children develop an understanding of good nutrition and encourages them to try new foods. 

The Victorian Government provides funding to support families with up to 15 hours of free kindergarten per week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. This funding helps reduce fees for three and four-year-old children enrolled in long day care kindergarten programs. Eligible families can save up to $2,101 annually for children aged three and above in 2025. For more details, feel free to ask during your visit to our Centre!

I started my son in a different daycare and after an extremely rough first few days, I pulled him out and put him into Guardian, which had impressed me during a tour earlier in the year. Moving him to Guardian was the best decision Ive ever made. Not only is the communication between management/staff/parents very efficient and clear, but the carers have gone above and beyond to help my baby feel comfortable, cared for, supported and happy. Thank you Guardian for supporting my son!

If you are a parent that’s worrying about sending your baby to child care then I hope this comment will help you. As a first time mom I also was really worried about leaving my child in child care and wanted to find the best place for my baby. I am recommending Guardian Chadstone because I’ve seen and experienced the exceptional care that they provide for kiddos. Your child will receive best care under this roof.My sincere thanks goes to Facility Manager KAYLA for being a very kind supportive and understanding manager who assured me about the care provided. Each and every carer goes above and beyond to make sure that all children are loved and cared. My heart felt gratitude goes to all the staff for taking care of my son Arthur and special thanks to DULANGA, CHATHU AND THANUJA for the amazing care provided to my little boy. It was really hard for me to leave my baby but when I see these girls smiling hugging and singing to my baby to calm him down I know that everything will be alright. These girls are truly an asset to this center.Within the past couple of months I ve seen a massive improvement in my baby’s social and fine motor skills as well.So if you want to find the best care for your little munchkin, I suggest you to get an orientation organised in this centerThanks again for everythingLots of loveClifford, Dilshini and Baby Arthur

We have felt so lucky to be a part of this childcare centre! We joined the Chadstone Guardian centre in the middle of the year after a lot of upheaval. It was a rocky transition but the staff at Guardian have always been so incredibly patient and caring with the kids (and us parents). It has been wonderful to see so many strong bonds form between the educators and our child. The range of activities on offer (and the food) always blows my mind.

This kindergarten is great. All three of my kids are studying here. I came here 8 years ago when my oldest kid was 1 year old. The teachers here are very patient. Even if the kids are crying, the teachers will try their best to comfort them and calm them down. Also, the second language here is Chinese. There are often Chinese classes. My kids even sing Chinese songs with me when they get home. Thank you teachers.💖💖💖

We have nothing but good experiences with Guardian Chadstone since my son started there in June. It is so comforting to know he is so well looked after when my husband and I are working. He is always happy and super excited to go to daycare in the mornings. The centre keeps us up to date with regular photos and liaises with us regularly about his development and progress. I am also very impressed with the facilities available to the children, as well as the nutritious menu provided by the lovely chef Courtney (who posts photos of the food the children enjoy daily, so my mind is at ease that he is eating well). Mara, Nithya and Kanika have always been very receptive with any concerns I have had, and are easy to contact and quick to reply. I would highly recommend this childcare to anyone in the area and for children of any age.

Love kids is a safe and amicable environment for the children to nurture. My daughter has been going since she was 14 months and the best part is she loves going to love kids everyday. The educators are very kind and friendly with the kids. Everyday the kids learn new thing and individual attention is given to the kids. The story park is a wonderful feature which is being updated every single day.The parents at work feels so good to see the pics of the children with happy faces in the story park app.The transition from one room to another is made with ease and children's happily move to the next rooms. They get familiarised with the new educators before they start in the new room.Daljeet and her team is awesome. I am thankful to all the educators in the centre.

Rhythm of the Day

We know children (and families) like routine. Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.

Whilst no two days of learning are ever the same - here's what a day at Guardian might look like.

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.

What's included in the Guardian Experience

From nutritious meals and engaging learning programs —it’s all covered in your daily rate. No hidden extras, just peace of mind for you and a great day for your child.

Kayla and team

Our Centre team, led by our experienced Centre Manager Kayla, prides themselves on creating a great sense of community for all families.

Each role in the Centre is designed to work together to help create a nurturing environment for every child in each of our learning spaces.

In our Nursery Room, the dedicated team has a special role in creating secure attachments, routines, and strong relationships. Unique to Guardian nurseries is our Baby Ambassador, who is your go-to person for you and your baby’s first 12 months with us. They will know every detail about your baby: how breast or bottle milk is managed, how they like to eat, their sleeping routines, the nappies they wear, and more. With babies as young as six weeks in the Centre, it’s the Baby Ambassador’s job to work with families and Educators to help make our Nursery feel just like home.

Our Educators across the age groups work together to create fun, stimulating, and age-appropriate experiences for every child in their care. They are dedicated, experienced professionals who are allocated to a specific room so they can get to know each child individually and support their learning and development.

As part of our 2-year Flying Start to School program, we have degree-qualified Teachers who use the latest teaching practices to help your child build essential practical and social skills, ensuring they’re ready for their next big adventure—school!

Each room has a Lead Educator or Teacher who is responsible for planning and implementing an effective ongoing cycle of planning, documentation, and evaluation of the room’s learning program.

At the core of the Centre is our Cook—make sure you check out their daily menu when you visit. They help make food part of the learning journey and love seeing how children respond to new and exciting flavours.

The team is supported by a strong Leadership Team, including an Assistant Centre Manager and an Educational Leader.

Every role at the Centre is as important as the next.

How will you share updates about my child’s day?

Great communication is vital in our collaborative partnerships with families at the Centre. We have a variety of different ways we communicate with you about your child’s learning and progress:


  1. Storypark app - Stay connected to your child's day with regular updates, including photos and learning insights

  2. Pick-up and drop-off updates – Our Educators will share highlights from their day, including experiences they enjoyed, mealtimes, and naps to support your evening routine.

  3. In-room learning exchange displays make our weekly learning plans easy to see so you know what your child will be learning.

  4. Centre Newsletters – Great for community connection and wider Centre and team updates.

  5. Development documentation and meetings for your individual child’s progress.


But remember our door is always open.

Kindergarten Program
Flying start to school

Our Flying Start to School kindergarten program is lead by degree qualified Teachers in a long day care setting. Our specialist two-year program is committed to supporting your child as they prepare for big school. We focus on nurturing their confidence, making friends and social emotional growth while also supporting their abilities in reading, writing, counting, and thinking skills. Whether it’s building with blocks, practicing their first letters, or learning to share with friends, every experience is carefully designed to support your child’s development.

Our Centre is a recipient of funding as part of the VIC Government’s Free Kinder Program. Eligible children aged three years and above will receive up to $2101 in additional subsidies to reduce your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

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.
