Celebrating the wonder of early childhood

Championing children and all they can be

Niño Early Learning Adventures’ mindful curriculum is built around flexible indoor and outdoor learning environments. Working together with families, we create individual learning programs that consider interests, physical, personal, social and emotional wellbeing as well as cognitive aspects of learning.

Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework of Australia, our unique education curriculum harnesses the theory of emergent learning and the science of positive psychology.

Educational Experiences

Thoughtfully curated, our curriculum gives every child the opportunity to have meaningful learning experiences that incorporate their emerging interests to reach their full potential.

Nutrition

Healthy food means a healthy mind. We actively involve children in nutrition as well as the opportunity to participate in meal time rituals.

Wellbeing

Our positive education framework focuses on developing skills for children to strengthen their relationships, build positive emotions, enhance resilience, promote mindfulness and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

Enhancement Programs

We provide a world of experiences for children to extend their discovery. Our specialist classes include physical education, Spanish language, mindfulness, yoga and music.

Thoughtfully designed centres

Every Niño Early Learning Adventures centre is as unique as the community it is a part of. By keeping the needs of children central to the heart of what we do, we purposefully design, build and choose resources that enable children to confidently explore their environment and interact with one another.

Priya, Niño ELA Malvern East Parent
“I could not be happier with the care my son receives at Niño Point Cook. His educators really care about him and it shows in all the interactions I’ve witnessed and in how comfortable he is around them. He is learning and developing at a pace that suits him and having lots of fun along the way! We love the warm welcome we receive every time we walk into the centre and the friendliness displayed by every single staff member we pass in the hallways.

Highly recommended!”
