About
Guardian Childcare & Education Murwillumbah is a long-day care and early learning centre on Central Parade, caring for children from birth through to school age. Previously known as Petit Early Learning Journey Murwillumbah, it offers nursery, toddler and preschool rooms across age-based learning spaces, open from 6:30am to 6pm on weekdays to suit working families.
The centre follows a play-based program and runs a two-year preschool pathway led by degree-qualified teachers, focused on school readiness, social and emotional growth and early literacy and numeracy. A standout feature is the large natural outdoor area with water features, vegetable gardens, a sandpit, a mud pit and a teepee cubby. Day fees are all-inclusive, covering meals and supplies, and parents stay updated through the Storypark app.
