Explore our learning programs at Nido Essendon

At Nido Blackburn, we view children as capable and curious individuals. We take inspiration from the Reggio Emilia philosophy, with early learning programs built around the idea that children learn best through play, real-world exploration and connection with others.

Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standards, our Curriculum Leader works closely with educators and teachers to design engaging experiences that support early literacy, numeracy, communication and emotional development. From sensory play to collaborative group projects and guided enquiry, our Blackburn childcare centre fosters empathy, problem-solving and a lifelong love of learning.
