Guardian Childcare & Education Preston West Centre overview

Website & socials

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Preston West

Our newly refurbished, light-filled centre is packed with incredible resources, from an art space to sensory gardens, and offers a culturally diverse team, exciting incursions, and engaging indoor and outdoor environments for children to explore.

For children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, Guardian Childcare & Education Preston West offers a vibrant and exciting, play-based learning environment. The skilled and experienced educators work with every child to personalise a program that meets their individual needs. With safety and security in mind, the children are encouraged to develop their creativity, curiosity and imagination.

The rooms within the centre are light-filled, creating an inspiring atmosphere in which the children can learn every day. The spacious rooms are well-resourced with toys, materials and equipment to facilitate a range of activities and for different learning styles. The children participate in hands-on cooking classes and other experiences to enrich their learning.

Outdoors, the children have access to community gardens, a messy play area, cubby houses, climbing equipment, sensory gardens, teepees and more. 

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.

Centrally located a short walk from Murray Road bus stops, the centre is easy to access and offers convenient parking on site. Why not book a tour of this community-focused and fun centre 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.
