What We offer

Meet the Centre Manager

Welcome to Nido Early School Taperoo. My name is Mardi Matthew, Executive Service Manager. We’re here to make your childcare journey feel supported from the start. Our team of qualified educators is passionate about creating a creative and enriching environment where every child is encouraged to grow at their own pace. We’d love to welcome your family into our community.

Learning Programs

At our early learning Taperoo childcare centre, children are given time and space to explore. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we focus on hands-on learning guided by your child’s natural curiosity. Our educators support them through every step, encouraging communication, collaboration and creative thinking.

We follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and meet the National Quality Standards, ensuring every program nurtures development across key learning areas. These include emotional wellbeing, language, problem solving and confidence, which are essential skills for preschool and beyond.

Our Curriculum Leader works closely with educators to maintain high-quality standards and adapt programs to the needs of each group. If your child has unique learning or cultural needs, we’ll collaborate with your family to create a supportive and inclusive plan.
