Guardian Childcare & Education Mentone West Centre overview

Website & socials

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Mentone West

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Mentone West, a newly refurbished and modern, light-filled centre. Our early childhood education programs are focused on play-based learning, and our day care and child care centre provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged six weeks to six years of age. Our Mentone West childcare centre is conveniently situated for families living in the surrounding suburbs of Beaumaris, Mordialloc, and Parkdale.

The centre provides a safe and secure environment for children to be curious, creative and adventurous. Step inside and you’ll notice the light-filled and homely interiors are filled with art materials, books and toys. Outside there’s a range of age-specific play equipment including a fantastic climbing fort, and vegetable gardens for the children to tend to. Proud of their culturally-diverse team, the centre actively celebrates a range of cultural events throughout the year.

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 2025.

Proud winner of the Family Choice Award 2025. As determined by our existing families rating their experience of our Centre via Family Satisfaction Survey and independent Google Reviews.

Easily accessible by car or public transport, the centre offers on-site parking for easy pick up and drop off. Book a tour today!

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.

We’re so happy to hear that your daughter is loving her time with us. It means a lot to know she’s settled in quickly and is thriving — that’s exactly what we aim for! Our team puts a lot of heart into creating a warm, fun, and safe space for the kids, so it’s great to hear that’s coming through.
