Nino Early Learning Adventures Elsternwick

Inquisitive and busy toddlers are nurtured and empowered by Niño ELA Elsternwick’s qualified educators, giving the children a sense of ownership of their learning.

The toddler program encourages discovery, mastery and self-regulation to inspire a love of learning and a desire to explore and create. The educators work in collaboration with families on key milestones during this action-packed developmental stage, such as toilet training and independence at mealtimes.

As the children grow, they move into Niño ELA Elsternwick’s kindergarten program to prepare them for the next stage of their life at ‘big school.’

Led by a Bachelor Qualified Teacher and a Diploma Qualified Educator, the 3 year old program is designed to help build confidence, a sense of belonging and a love of adventure. They find out what makes your child tick, what gets them excited, and factor this into their play.

In the 4 year old kindergarten program, a Bachelor Qualified Teacher and a Diploma Qualified Educator prepare individualised experiences depending on the interests of the child. They encourage them to take part in activities that they are likely to experience in primary school.
