Niño Early Learning Adventures Ivanhoe 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.

Morning

Mila is a ten-month-old little girl. Today her educators have set out some musical instruments on the mat for the children to explore. Mila chooses a tambourine and starts tapping along.

Lunch 

After lunch, Mila and her friends enjoy some storytime with their educator before they are settled down for a rest.

Afternoon

Mila heads outside with her educator to inspect the vegetable garden and water the plants. Mila helps pick (and taste) some of the cherry tomatoes that are ripe and ready.

Respect: Considerate and compassionate, Niño ELA Ivanhoe values the diverse perspectives, experiences, knowledge and skills that each person brings. They create an environment where everyone feels appreciated and can belong.

Bravery: Curious and progressive, Niño ELA Ivanhoe is passionate about advancing early childhood education. They push boundaries, try new approaches and explore possibilities to create richer, more holistic learning experiences and stronger foundations for life.

Everyday wonder: Creative and inspiring, Niño ELA Ivanhoe recognises how important and amazing the early years are. They share and celebrate the special moments and allow every child to flourish at their own pace.

The True You: To bring out the best in others, Niño ELA Ivanhoe believes they must be proud of who they are. Honest, reliable, diligent and genuine, they always strive for excellence and deliver on their promises.

Niño ELA Ivanhoe 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.

Niño ELA Ivanhoe 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.
