Explore our learning programs at Nido Melbourne Square
Our curriculum is shaped by the Reggio Emilia philosophy,, which champions children’s voices, their amazing questions and their natural curiosity to explore. We’re also guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and meet all the important benchmarks of the National Quality Standard (NQS). This empowers us to provide a strong and nurturing foundation for learning for children of all ages.
Through play-based learning, we support the development of key life skills — including problem-solving, independence and social skills. Our educators and Curriculum Leaders craft each program around what your child enjoys, what they’re curious about and what helps them thrive — right through to the kindergarten years and beyond.
