My daughter has been going to Nino for 2 years, she loves going there and I love how happy she is being there. The educators are like her second family, loving her, teaching her, being firm with her and play with her. The staff there enjoy being there too which means we mostly see permanent staff and less of casual staff.

Niño Early Learning Adventures Blackburn North understands that your child’s needs and interests go beyond the standard curriculum. They provide a world of experiences for children to extend their knowledge and skills.
Specialist classes include:
Niño Early Learning Adventures Blackburn North 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 Early Learning Adventures Blackburn North’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 Early Learning Adventures Blackburn North’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.
Niño ELA Blackburn North is passionate about your child’s nutritional education. Children are encouraged to help plant and harvest food from the vegetable garden, share meals with their friends, and reduce their food waste by composting their scraps.
Niño ELA chefs have developed a fresh, seasonally influenced and nutritionally balanced menu that tastes great and enhances wellbeing. All food is cooked on site daily and is adjusted for individual dietary requirements. It’s not only healthy, it’s food they’ll love to eat.
Think waffles, muffins, toast and cereal for breakfast; crumbed fish or pasta bake for lunch; vegetable dip, yoghurt, wholesome cake and seasonal fruit for snacks. By eating together at a communal table, the children learn positive habits around food that will benefit them for life.
There’s no need for parents and carers to miss out on any of the joy and special moments in their child’s life. Activities, photographs and milestones can all be shared with the private online communication app, Xplor.
I have been working at Niño Early Learning Adventure Blackburn North since 2017 and have enjoyed watching each and every child grow into their unique selves. We as educators in the Early childhood sector help children to be capable and confident learners as they develop in their first few years of life.

Love the community and caring educators at El Nino. From the beginning they have been wonderful at helping us transition to daycare. My twins love the sandpit and outdoor play areas.

Monday I accidentally locked my car with my granddaughter inside. In that I was very stressed and didn’t know what to do. The staff helped me to calm down. One of the girls drove to my home and got the spare key and the other monitor my granddaughter inside the car. With their help the problem was quickly solved. They are very professional and helpful, I forgot to ask the three girls name. I owed a thank to their help. They are friendly and helpful.
Dear Sophie, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted our Blackburn North team was able to support you during a stressful moment—caring for our little niños and their families extends beyond the classroom, and we’re always here to help. Your kind words mean so much, and we’ll be sure to pass on your gratitude to the team. We’re grateful to be part of such a compassionate and supportive community! Kind regards, Niño ELA Management
