Explore our learning programs at Nido Harrisdale

At Nido Harrisdale, learning begins with what matters most to each child — their questions, interests and sense of wonder. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, our educators create hands-on and child-led experiences. This way, we see their independence blossom, their creativity soar and their confidence shine.

We’re also guided by our unique Nido curriculum, Australia’s National Quality Framework, including the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Standards (NQS). These help us focus on everything that truly nurtures each child’s growth — from their overall well-being and how they communicate to how they think, explore and feel like they truly belong.

Through the magic of play-based learning, children build the social and emotional skills they need to connect with others and feel secure in themselves — from the toddler years right through to kindergarten.
