We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Nino. The team truly feels like an extension of our family — the educators are warm, welcoming, incredibly attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing. Our son Sonny absolutely loves going. He gets excited as soon as we turn into the street, clapping, pointing, and rushing us inside — which says everything about how safe and happy he feels there. It’s so reassuring as a parent to see him arrive excited and leave calm, settled, and regulated. The centre itself is always clean, well cared for, and clearly loved. Communication is consistent and thoughtful, which makes such a difference. We feel so lucky to be part of the Nino community and couldn’t recommend them more highly.

About the curriculum

Programs

Programs

Niño Early Learning Adventures Lalor 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 Spanish language, yoga, music and cooking.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

Niño ELA Lalor 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.

What attracted me to Niño Early Learning Adventures was the passion and dedication the company had to not only be great at nurturing young children but to go the extra mile and include positive psychology into everyday life through their Positive Education framework.

At Niño ELA Lalor we are a strong community built from a solid team of enthusiastic Educators; chefs that create mouthwatering nutritious meals; and our families that come from many different cultural backgrounds. We all come together as one to guide our little niños to be the best versions of themselves.

As the Centre Manager, it is of high importance to me that we can create an inclusive, positive and kind community within our service, and I aim to achieve this together with all of our staff, families and children.

Jacinta Mion, Centre Manager

Having been in the industry for over 10 years I can confidently say being part of the team at Niño ELA has been inspiring. Their vision for supporting young children to become the best versions of themselves and encouraging each child to flourish aligns with my values as a teacher and as an educator. It fills my heart with pride seeing the children in my care grow and become confident learners.

My oldest just started at Nino Lalor. I did not expect him to be so confident just in less than a month of attendance. The educators updated me his daily reflections and routines. The management is also approachable when there is issue. My youngest will start soon. When talking to educators in his room, I can tell they will try their best to accomodate his routines. They also offer smaller size of baby room which not many places do. I’m really happy with Nino Lalor and definitely recommend to friends and families. I am sure that my youngest will get confident too when he starts care 😊

My husband and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Nino Ela Lalor. Our daughter started here 6 months ago and has been thriving in their care. The educators that we’ve gotten to know so far from the discoverers and explorers room have been absolutely fantastic. They have shown so much passion, dedication and love to all the children in their care When childcare becomes a second home for your child, your biggest hope would be that they feel safe, loved and enjoy being there -and this has become a truth for us. So thank you to everyone working at the centre - the educators, the chef, and management. You guys are all incredible!

My little one is in the Explorers room and honestly, I can’t say enough good things! From day one, every single staff member has been so welcoming and supportive, which made drop-offs so much easier. My son has learnt so much since starting, he comes home surprises me with new skills, knowledge, and confidence. The educators are amazing with the kids, so caring and patient, and you can really see how much effort they put into making each day fun and engaging. It feels so good knowing he’s happy, safe, and excited to go each day. We’re really grateful for the whole team at Lalor.
