My daughter has been here from Toddler 1 all the way to 3-Year-Old Kinder, and honestly, she’s happy to go every single day! 😊 每个老师都有自己的特点:有的特别 caring,很细心,有的总是笑声不断,带着孩子们玩得特别开心。 What I really love is how they listen and respond to kids,让孩子觉得被看见、被尊重。Activities are amazing too: 🌱 Watching caterpillars turn into butterflies – 超神奇! 🍳 Cooking fun & hands-on crafts – 小朋友真的很享受 🛒 Excursions to shop & visit cafes – even Green Choice / Red Choice decision training, super practical! 外出体验超市购物、去咖啡馆,还有对好坏行为的提醒判断训练、我也在家里使用、非常有效果 🏃♀️ Lots of sports & outdoor time – 每天都能消耗满满能量 特别要说,Ada 老师真的很暖心。有几次我因为焦虑找她,她总是特别耐心,安慰我、帮我放松,真的太感谢了。 If you’re looking for a place where your kid is happy, learns a lot, and feels loved – this is the one! 👍 Highly recommend!

We are extremely happy with the care and support our daughter receives at Guardian Blackburn South. The educators have been warm, welcoming, and attentive , especially Paris and Shahhla, who are absolutely amazing. They show so much genuine care for the children and always create a nurturing, safe environment. The weekly programming is always thoughtful, engaging, and tailored to help the children learn and grow through play. Our daughter looks forward to going each day, and we’ve seen such positive development in her confidence, social skills, and curiosity.

Watching my daughter blossom throughout her time in 3-year-old and 4-year-old kinder at Guardian Blackburn South has been truly heartwarming. From her very first day, I saw her excitement and a bit of nervousness as she stepped into an environment filled with new faces, and activities. She gained so much confidence. The bonds she formed with her teacher and educators made her feel secure and excited about learning. Their encouragement helped her blossom both socially and emotionally. Most importantly, she’s learned to build relationships, learning about empathy, sharing, and cooperation along the way. As a parent, it’s been incredibly reassuring to see my child so happy and supported each day. The care and dedication of her educators have made all the difference in preparing her for the next big step: starting school with a sense of enthusiasm and confidence.
Response from the owner24 days agoThank you Andreyna for sharing your beautiful reflection on your daughter’s journey with us. It’s incredible to hear how she blossomed during her time in both the 3-year-old and 4-year-old kinder programs. From those first steps filled with excitement and a touch of nervousness, to becoming a confident, empathetic, and socially aware young learner — we feel privileged to have been part of her growth. The strong bonds she formed with her teachers and educators are a testament to the nurturing environment we strive to create every day. We’re so proud that she felt secure, supported, and inspired to explore, learn, and connect with others. Seeing her develop skills like empathy, sharing, and cooperation is exactly what early childhood education is all about. Thank you for trusting us with such an important chapter in her life. We’re thrilled to know she’s heading into school with enthusiasm and confidence, and we’ll be cheering her on every step of the way!

Our daughters both attended Guardian Childcare in Blackburn South and our experience was really positive. The educators are kind, caring, fun, thoughtful and brilliant at their jobs. (Too many to list but Sal and Ada are an incredible team). The center management team (Ashleigh and Matilda) are supportive and flexible. The center/ facilities are constantly being refreshed and changed around to keep it interesting and offer the kids new learning experiences. So happy that Guardian was a part of our journey. Highly recommend!
