Championing children and all they can be
Niño’s mindful curriculum is built around flexible indoor and outdoor learning environments. Working together with families, we create individual learning programs that consider interests, physical, personal, social and emotional wellbeing as well as cognitive aspects of learning.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework of Australia, our unique education curriculum harnesses the theory of emergent learning and the science of positive psychology.
Nutrition
Niño ELA is passionate about the importance of nutritional education at an early age.
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.
We’d love for you to book a tour to show you just how we make learning an exciting adventure!

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
Niño Early Learning Adventures Point Cook 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 Point Cook’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 Point Cook’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.
Health & nutrition
Health & nutrition
Niño ELA Point Cook 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.

Morning
Charlotte is a ten-month-old little girl who always heads straight for the sandpit when she arrives at Niño ELA Point Cook. Her educators encourage her to dig and build and then to decorate her creations with sticks and leaves.
Lunch
Charlotte loves eating with her friends and today it’s one of her favourites, pasta! After a quick clean up, she’s ready to head off to play some more before she has a rest.
Afternoon
Charlotte loves the swing and today her favourite educator is giving her and her big sister a push on the swing together.
Morning
Raffy is almost two and she loves helping the educators weed and water the vegetable gardens in the mornings. Today she is picking some of the berries that are ripe and ready, to give to the chef to use later.
Lunch
The toddlers are doing some cooking with the chef, and Raffy helps mix the batter for some raspberry muffins. The best part is the taste test.
Afternoon
After lunch, the toddlers head outside to burn off some energy. Raffy loves playing in the forts and the hand-crafted cubby houses with her friends.
Morning
Hayden is three years old and you’ll always find him playing outside when the centre opens in the morning. He loves the trampoline and the wooden climbing equipment.
Lunch
Hayden enjoys the weekly Spanish lessons at Niño ELA Point Cook. He can now count to ten and name many of his favourite animals in Spanish.
Afternoon
Time to relax with the weekly yoga class. Hayden and the other pre-schoolers set up their mats and listen to the instructions from their educator. Hayden has almost perfected the downward dog.
