About Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon
Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon! Our purpose-built centre includes the historic Croydon church hall, bringing a unique charm to our bright and thoughtfully designed learning spaces for babies through kindergarten. Conveniently located at 20 Croydon Road, Croydon, directly across from Croydon Primary School, our centre also offers easy access to Croydon Train Station and Maroondah Highway. We invite you to visit our community space—a welcoming spot for families to connect or take a moment when a little extra time is needed at drop-off.
Our exciting, resource-rich environments include:
- Passionate Educators who focus on relationships with children and families
- Beautifully designed learning spaces to inspire curiosity, fun, and a sense of belonging
- Engaging outdoor environment to spark learning and exploration
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.
Families will also be given access to our family communication app where we will share with you any significant updates in your child’s day, as well as any other important updates that happen in the centre – ensuring that you’re always connected, even when you’re not here.
If you’re looking to begin the adventure and are wanting to explore, book a tour and meet our team at Guardian Childcare & Education Croydon today!

I feel incredibly lucky to have such beautiful educators caring for my 18 month old. We’ve been at the centre for years and have seen the work and changes that make it what it is today - my little one adores the educators, the chef makes amazing food, they have a great educational program and take feedback on board. Highly recommend.

As an early childhood educator myself, I have high expectations when it comes to care and education for young children—and I can confidently say this centre exceeds them all. We couldn't be happier with the care our child receives here!The staff are incredibly nurturing and patient. My daughter looks forward to going every week and has blossomed socially, emotionally, and academically since starting. The environment is always clean, safe, and welcoming, and communication with parents is excellent. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful place—it gives me a complete peace of mind knowing our child is in such good hands!

Such a wonderful team. They show so much genuine care for the children and take the time each day to chat to you about how your child is going. It's a really nice environment, with great outdoor spaces for play. Communication is consistent and easy. We take a lot of comfort in our son going here.

Love our experience at Guardian Croydon. The educators in both our kids rooms have formed the loveliest attachments and our boys are so happy to go to daycare. The girls on the front desk Abby, Rachael and Zoe are always ready for a friendly word at drop off and pick up and can often tell you a story about your kids from that day or during the week which shows how much they know and care about the kids.
