Pascoe Vale Early Learning Centre & Kindergarten

Like any new parent I had mixed feelings about sending my daughter off to daycare. However, she has settled in so well at Guardian Pascoe Vale and is thriving. I have been particularly impressed with how from very early on, not only the educators from her room but the office staff, lead educator, and even some of the educators from other rooms know her name and say hello to her when I drop her off in the morning. The breadth of activities she gets to do are fantastic and I like that there seems to be a concerted effort to get the kids outdoors whenever the weather permits so she has lots of opportunity to move. Overall I am comfortable she is being very well cared for and that she is happy and enjoys going to daycare.

The educators and management are the most amazing people I have ever met. They are so loving and accomodating to our needs and our daughters needs. I look forward to my son attending care next year. I would most definitely recommend the centre to everyone I know. Thank you so much for the brilliant job you are all doing ️

Super Friendly and inviting centre always lots of photo updates of there fun learning activities my daughter loves this centre and all the educators

Both my sons (aged 3 and 1) attend this childcare and I always feel completely confident dropping them off everyday while I work. The educators feel like members of the family, it feels so great to know that they genuinely care about my kids and enjoy looking after them.

The boys are always well fed, with a delicious variety of meals, with plenty of nutritious snacks throughout the day.

I can't express enough how much respect and gratitude I have for everyone at Guardian Pascoe Vale. They have played such a large role in my children's development.

My 4 year old daughter has been attending since since she was 1 and we could not be happier with the care, education and attention provided by the whole team. They notice and nurture each child as an individual and go above and beyond to teach and love each one.

We are very fortunate to have such dedicated child care workers in our neighbourhood.

My daughter Phoenix has been attending Pascoe Vale ELC for over two and a half years now and during this time she has built special connections with each and everyone working and attending the centre.
Phoenix is a beautiful child with Down Syndrome, and she has always been welcome and treated with so much love and attention from all her educators, peers and from management working in the office.
The educators and management are very responsive to Phoenix’s needs and have greatly assisted Phoenix to build her confidence and developmental abilities by providing Phoenix with the support and care she needs.
Phoenix feels very much at home at her childcare centre, and her personality seems to shine with great confidence within this positive environment.
We are so thrilled that Phoenix is very happy at her childcare centre and we are looking forward to having her brother also attend soon after he is born.
We would like to say a BIG thank you to Jennie for working closely with Phoenix throughout the years.
Thank you also to everyone at the childcare centre who always puts a smile on Phoenix’s face and who loves her BIG sassy personality!

I am an Educator at the centre and my beautiful son Albert attends the centre. Late last year I move him here from a centre much closer to home mainly because I was opportuned to see first hand how much effort the management and educators put in caring for children individually to enable them reach their full potential.
As an educator/parent I know how important this is in the early stages of a child’s life and I would encourage parents/guardians to give them a try.

My son has been attending Guardian Pascoe Vale since he was 6 months old, the educators have been wonderful in working with me to follow his needs and respectful in following my wishes.

We have all built a wonderful relationship and it is beautiful so him growing and learning with all the support from his teachers, seeing his smile through pictures each day and the ability to communicate with his teachers online and through phone calls has been a huge help over this year. They have been a huge support to myself and my family from the beginning.

The best aspect of this centre are the educators. They take a keen interest in your child and are happy to work towards the goals you'd like your child to achieve (be it walking, identifying letters, group play, kicking a ball, etc). One educator that stands out the most is Jennie. She was instrumental in helping our child reach their milestones and taken a keen interest in our family. If you are lucky enough to have her educate your child, then you can rest easy knowing they are in great hands. We've loved kind Claire, vibrant Kristy, smiling Shivani, merry Maha, delightful Sventlana.too many to name! We also love the transparency and natural light in the rooms. Lots of different activities for children to engage in, excellent outdoor equipment, delicious healthy meals. Birthdays are celebrated with cake and sometimes the kids help make the cake! Can't speak highly enough of Guardian PV. Thank you to all the staff and educators who provide opportunities for our kids to learn and thrive.

I have been working at Pascoe Vale Elc before my daughter Sophia was born. The educators at the centre are amazing they go above and beyond to cater to Sophia’s needs. She is so comfortable that every morning she walks right in the office to greet Liz and Jess and then moves on to say hi to all the educators. It takes a whole village to raise a child and Pascoe Vale Elc is my village

Management in the office are not there for the right reasons and DO NOT CARE also just FAKE.there's always an excuse, some reason why it's all someone else fault.
There's definitely a big change since last 6 months ago and not any good. It's obviously all about money, things look nice but it's not about how it looks, it's about caring.
Previous office staff cared a lot more and made sure they looked after everything always willing to help in any way.
Educators do an amazing job with the children and so hard working, there for all the right reasons! The only reason I have not left is because I know my children are still happy.

I have had so many problems this year and never had any before, unfortunately it's just one thing after another and I am over it. The heart and soul has gone out of the place. Sucha shame, it's always been a great local center with a good reputation.
Now I would say that you should look elsewhere, smaller center where you will be treated better.

Love the childcare centre beatifull centre it’s amazing it’s a very big centre with open space rooms and lots of activities

Our daughter is entering her second year at this daycare and we have been very happy with the care she receives. She loves the carers there, the premises are clean and modern and the food is made onsite. We would definitely recommend this centre.

My son is now in his second year of 3 days a week at this centre & we've been so pleased with his care. I feel that he really connects with his carers & that they helped him transition smoothly to an older room. I've also been really impressed with the proactive communication from the centre - emails answered quickly, courtesy calls, a daily blog with photos, newsletters.
