Guardian Childcare & Education East Ivanhoe

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education East Ivanhoe! Our bright, vibrant long day care centre offers high quality education and care for children aged 6 weeks – 6 years. We’re proud to offer what families call the best childcare in Ivanhoe!

Our long day care centre is rated ‘Exceeding’ in the National Quality Standards, and we are proud of our world-class learning programs and safe, secure environments.

Safety and wellbeing are our highest priority, giving families peace of mind in the safe childcare we provide.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.
