Guardian Watsonia Childcare and Education

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Watsonia, formerly Watsonia Early Learning Centre. In our modern, purpose-built early learning centre, our diverse team of Educators creates a nurturing environment where children’s growth and learning is celebrated at every step from our nursery rooms through to our government-funded Flying Start to School kindergarten program. We’re proud of our centre, and we believe this is the best childcare in Watsonia. 

Guardian’s exclusive To BE Me program creates a unique learning adventure for every child. It demonstrates clearly how play connects to learning and development, offering families new insights and a lifelong record of these important years. 

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.  

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