About Guardian Childcare & Education Caulfield

Guardian Childcare & Education Caulfield is a light-filled and spacious Centre with an exciting indoor/outdoor program. Our daycare centre features a spacious outdoor area with native trees,vegetable garden,sandpit and natural play structures. We’re proud to provide the best local childcare in Caulfield, where every child is supported to thrive.

Our To BE Me learning program helps you see your child’s learning adventure in a whole new light. Their pathway is personalised, with every milestone captured in a way that makes the link between play and learning clear and memorable.

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of Free Kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the centre’s long day care Kindergarten program. Families will save up to $2,101 a year for children aged three-years-old and above in eligible long day cares in 2026.

We understand how big those first steps into childcare are, and our Baby Ambassador and expert Nursery team is here to make the transition calm and reassuring for both you and your baby.

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.

Parents can be assured that their child’s wellbeing and safety are at the centre of everything we do, making Guardian a trusted choice for safe childcare.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years.

The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.

It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly.​ Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.

Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.

To BE Me is underpinned by Guardian’s world class teaching program that has been developed over many years of research and thousands of hours observing how children develop.

Health and Nutrition

We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop healthy eating habits from an early age. Qualified Chefs and Cooks in our centres create fresh and nutritious meals each day, using seasonal, high-quality ingredients that align with Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience.

Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable. Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled.

Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices.

Thank you to Chelcee and the team for making me feel so welcome and heard during my visit. Coming from an early childhood education management background I can confidently say I would recommend this service to anyone looking for a service with the best interest of the families and children at heart. It is a hard process as a first time parent to make a decision about the care you wish to place your child in and although I'm not quite ready to enrol yet, the decision for future has been made extremely easy for me as I navigate my way through this life change. I would 100% recommend Guardian Caufield to any new parents as they manage to put you right at ease. Centre Manager Chelcee is a blessing and very approachable and understanding of all situations. Thank you to the Guardian Caufield team for making this process a little easier to navigate.
