Get To Know Us

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

With new lower fees & enhanced CCS benefits it’s the perfect time to join our centre & nurturing community.

At Guardian Childcare & Education, parents are invited to be directly involved in their children’s time at the centre. Parents can join their children for breakfast when they drop them off or come in at other times to share meals. They are also invited to join the children on excursions or at other events.

In the centre, parents will find Visible Learning Displays. This helps to track the children’s progress and provides a connection point to spark conversations between parents and educators. Parents and educators also use the StoryPark app for communication with the educators providing regular updates via this platform.

Programs

Programs

The centre programs revolve around the interests and skills of the children. The educators take a personalised approach to get to know each child, their needs and what interests them most. They then tailor the program to match.

With a mix of structured and unstructured play, the educators embed important foundational learning and skills throughout the day. What may seem like fun and play to the children or even to an outside observer, the educators carefully plan activities with real learning benefits. Whether it’s counting the chairs to put out at lunch or practising social skills through dress up play, the children are always growing, learning and developing.

Community is also a strong focus in the program. The educators make the most of their community connections to plan engaging incursions and excursions for the children to enjoy. This enhances their sense of belonging as they develop an understanding of the world around them.

Meet the team

Meet the team

The team at the centre is made up of a mix of accredited Teachers, experienced Lead Educators and passionate Educational Leaders. No matter the role they play in the team, each and every person is dedicated to nurturing and supporting the children in their care.

Unique to Guardian Childcare & Education is the role of Baby Ambassador. It is the Baby Ambassador’s role to get to know the youngest children at the centre and ensure their needs are met each and every day. They also liaise with the families to give added peace of mind that their baby is happy and well during the day.

The team is the heart of the centre. Each member is valued for the individual skills they bring to the team and the contribution they make. For this reason, staff turnover is low ensuring a consistent experience for the children.

Couldn’t be happier with the care and dedication from all staff. Our little man has been attending for nearly two years and he absolutely loves it. (Attends 3 days a week). He visits the Age care weekly, and in the last 4 months has been on excursions to Kew Traffic School, NGV and The Melbourne museum. The creativity and innovation of daily tasks is outstanding and we’re lucky to have him enjoy such varied tasks. His engagement, focus and confidence continues to grow. The management are flexible, caring and always supportive wherever possible. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner 09 Dec 2025

Thank you, Fran, for sharing such a thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear how much your little one enjoys his time with us and how supported he has felt over nearly two years. We love hearing about the connections he’s built through visits to aged care and the excitement of exploring places like Kew Traffic School, the NGV, and the Melbourne Museum. Those experiences are such a valuable part of children’s learning and confidence building. We’re so pleased that you’ve seen his engagement, focus, and confidence continue to grow, and that the creativity of the daily experiences has stood out. Your kind words about the care and support from the team and leadership mean a great deal. Thank you for your recommendation and for being part of our community.

What a joy it was to have my daughter at Guardian Camberwell from 2022 to 2024! Before this, she’d been at another center with the same company since she was just 6 months old, where we’d formed such warm bonds with the educators and always felt like family. So, when it was time to switch centers, we were a bit nervous—but wow, did the team at Guardian Camberwell make that transition a breeze! The staff welcomed us with open hearts and smiles, instantly making my daughter feel right at home. Their genuine love and care for her warmed our hearts every single day. A special shout out to the manager, whose leadership truly shone through—we could see the positive changes they implemented, continuously improving the center’s service throughout our time there. And the facility? What a delightful upgrade! The outdoor area was massive and full of fun, and my daughter couldn’t get enough of it. Plus, the onsite chef whipped up delicious, nutritious meals from morning to pickup—talk about a treat! They are continually offering more for the kids with incursions and excursions, amazing food, and regular events that kept my daughter’s days full of adventure and learning. The educators were always ready for a chat whenever I had questions or just needed a little reassurance. Even now, as my daughter has moved on to school, she lights up talking about her favorite educators and all the fun she had. Guardian Camberwell was an absolute gem of a place, and we’ll cherish those memories forever!

We have been at this centre since 2020 with my daughter who is now in school, and my son now attends the toddler classroom. The current manager Ha is absolutely fantastic and you can tell she is committed and passionate about building an excellent team and centre. They are continually offering more for the kids with incursions and excursions, amazing food, and regular events. Most importantly I know they genuinely know my son and care for him, and are very open and communicative with updates and any queries I have.

Response from the owner 10 Jun 2025

Thank you J R. It’s been such a joy to be part of your family’s journey since 2020—from your daughter’s early days with us to now having your son in our toddler room. We’re so lucky to have Ha leading our team—she really does pour her heart into making the centre the best it can be, and it’s wonderful to hear that it shows. We love creating fun and enriching experiences for the kids, and it means a lot to know you’ve noticed all the little extras like the incursions, excursions, and yummy meals! Most of all, thank you for trusting us with your little ones. Knowing that you feel your son is truly known, cared for, and supported is exactly what we strive for every day. We’re always here for you!
