Nido Early School Iluka

• We actively involve members of our service community, including police and firefighter families, to support safety education. 
• We proudly support Tiny Tots, a charity organisation that collects baby goods and essential items for families experiencing hardship. 
• Children regularly participate in walks throughout the local community, exploring nearby streets, parks, and natural spaces. 
• Our Beach Kinder program connects children with local lifesavers to learn about beach and water safety. 

At Nido Iluka Early School, we provide exceptional education and care for children from six weeks to school age. Our approach focuses on creating warm, nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we design programs that encourage creativity, cultural understanding, and confidence through hands-on experiences.

Safety is central to everything we do. We follow national child-safe standards, maintain clear supervision, and provide ongoing training for our educators to ensure children feel secure and cared for.

Our programs include wellbeing initiatives, sustainability practices, and community connections that enrich learning and foster a sense of belonging.

Our environments are thoughtfully designed to spark imagination and exploration. Indoors, children enjoy art ateliers and quiet spaces for storytelling, while outdoors they discover climbing areas, water play, and natural elements that encourage a connection to nature.

Community is at the heart of Nido Iluka. We collaborate closely with families and local community services to create meaningful learning experiences that support children’s growth and sense of belonging.

At Nido, every day is an opportunity to nurture confident, capable learners through safe, inspiring environments and meaningful experiences. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we turn everyday moments into lasting learning that shapes each child’s future.
