About Guardian Childcare & Education Langwarrin

Welcome to Guardian Childcare and Education Langwarrin, formerly Platypus Junction Langwarrin. Our stunning learning spaces are open, airy, bright, and clean, they’re full of life and designed around children’s development. We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is one of the best childcare in Langwarrin.

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program – a game changer that marks a new era in early learning. It reimagines early education, giving families clear insights into how play connects to learning and development.

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.

Nursery Rooms are our specialty. Our experienced Baby Ambassador and Nursery team take the time to really know your baby’s routines and personality, supporting them to feel safe and settled. Our Nursery rooms are calm, nurturing spaces that feel like a home away from home.

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.

Families trust us to provide safe childcare with the highest standards of safety and care in our centre.

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

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.

I am impressed with my son’s educators this year . My son Samuel has repeatedly been coming home saying things that myself and my wife have been wowed by !! Simmi and Katie have been showing him how to hold his pencil and have taught him so many general knowledge things it’s amazing what has soaked in , I believe he is coming along in leaps and bounds !! Lately there has been so much bad press on daycares across the state , I’m glad to report that I don’t see anything bad at guardian Langwarrin !! Again so impressed girls what a great job job both of you do kind regards John cobain !!

Response from the owner 21 Aug 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience John! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much Samuel is enjoying his time with us and how much he’s learning and growing. Simmi and Katie are truly passionate educators, and it means the world to them, and to all of us, to know their efforts are making such a positive impact. We’re especially grateful for your trust and support, particularly in light of the broader concerns in the sector. At Guardian, we’re committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for every child, and feedback like yours reminds us why we do what we do. Thanks again, John. We’re so proud to be part of Samuel’s learning journey!

This centre is an extended family away from the home and our kids love it!! We have had both our kids at Guardian (previously known as Platypus Junction) for the past few years, and at the beginning of this year (2025) we got a big shock to the system when we put our kids into another centre closer to what would be their primary school only to realise that the grass is not always greener on the other side. We scrambled to get the kids back into this centre and the entire team could not have been more welcoming and we couldn’t appreciate them more.

Response from the owner 06 May 2025

Thank you so much for your review! We're pleased to hear that our centre has become like a second family for you and your children. It's heartwarming to know that your kids enjoy their time here. We understand how challenging transitions can be, and we're glad we could make your return as welcoming and smooth as possible. Your continued trust and support mean the world to us.
