Niño Early Learning Adventures - Montmorency

Niño ELA Montmorency seeks to ensure that your child develops a nurturing relationship with a primary educator, which helps them to develop a sense of trust, security and safety. They work with your family to develop goals for your child, seeking to understand what your little one needs in order to grow, learn and thrive.

Inquisitive and busy toddlers are nurtured and empowered by Niño ELA Montmorency’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 Montmorency’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.

Morning

Jack is seven months old and loves story time at Niño ELA. He sits with his favourite educator while she reads stories in a small group. Soon he is going to head off for a nap, under the watchful eye of his educator.

Lunch

Jack enjoys some outdoor play after his nap, and heads straight for the age-appropriate climbing equipment to pull himself up. His educator supports him to try standing up while holding onto the ladders.

Afternoon

The educators in the nursery room lead the children in some singing and rhymes after lunch. Jack loves music and gets involved, clapping and smiling along.

Morning

Maddy is almost two years old and loves playing outside in the sandpit. Today she and her friend Ava are sitting with an educator who has set them up with some buckets, spades and watering cans to play with.

Lunch

Maddy goes out to the vegetable garden with two of her friends and an educator. They are going to pick some tomatoes and basil and take them into the chef to use for lunch.

Afternoon

The educators have set Maddy up with paints and an easel so that she can paint a picture. She puts on her art smock and chooses her favourite colours. Red for the sky? Why not!

Bennett has just turned three and attends Niño ELA three times per week. He has made some lovely friends here and they start their day with some dressing up. Bennett decides to be a pirate, while the others choose superheroes and a lion costume.

Lunch

The educators have set up a numeracy activity for Bennett, and he is using the interactive whiteboard to match numbers to pictures. Soon it’s someone else’s turn and Bennett sits on the mat to watch and learn.

Afternoon

Bennett and the other pre-schoolers are heading out to enjoy some nature play this afternoon, as the centre backs onto a nature reserve. He collects sticks, looks for fish in the river, and climbs some trees.
