Meet our Centre Manager
Hi, my name is Nike Ciotti and I am the Aussie Kindies Keilor Centre Manager. I have a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and have over 13 years experience in the industry.
Here at Aussie Kindies Keilor, we believe our centre is an excellent choice for parents seeking the best childcare - we are so lucky to have the most incredible team of educators, teachers and management.
We take pride in the knowledge, skills and passion of the team. Our educators are highly qualified and our team is dedicated to the care and education of every child.
We are also incredibly lucky to have a learning environment that is warm and inviting for our children and families.
Early childhood education is an industry with many of opportunities and lots of avenues to explore. The recent funding boost is also very heartening because it means there will be more and more opportunities created within the sector.
There are so many ways to progress your career in this industry. I started my role as an ACM with Affinity Education five years ago and three years ago I became a Centre Manager so it’s certainly been true for me!
Working in childcare has helped me gain a whole new perspective on the world. As well as being my job that I completely love, I feel like I'm able to be excited about the little things in life like a child does and it’s an awesome feeling.
How Much is Childcare Per Day?
Our fees are flexible and designed to suit your family’s needs, varying based on the number of days your child attends and the session times you select. For a quick, personalised fee estimate, contact our friendly Family Support Team at 1800 244 532 - we're here to help!

Lifelong Learning Starts Here!
At Aussie Kindies Early Learning, we’re proud to deliver Affinity Education’s exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced approach to early childhood education, thoughtfully designed to nurture each child’s unique potential. Inspired by the best practices of Montessori and Reggio Emilia, our curriculum is enriched with contemporary research, including attachment theory, the Circle of Security, language development from the Abecedarian approach, and Project-Based Learning. The result is a balanced, holistic learning experience tailored to support every child’s growth.
Aligned with Australia's Early Years Learning Framework, the Lifelong Learning Curriculum is carefully structured for three age groups: babies, toddlers, and 3-5 year olds. Each stage builds seamlessly on the last, culminating in a school readiness program that instils confidence, curiosity, and essential skills for success in primary school and beyond.
At Aussie Kindies, we are dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing environment where your child can flourish. Discover how we combine quality early education with genuine care to help your little one thrive every day.

Exclusive Programs to Inspire and Prepare Your Child
At Aussie Kindies, we’re proud to provide a range of exclusive programs that make early education both exciting and meaningful. From Positive Living Skills and Big Thinkers STEM to Aussie Wildlife Champions and First Nations education, these enriching experiences spark curiosity and build confidence in every child.
With access to Reading Eggs and MathSeeds, your child will develop a love of reading and numeracy, while the Early Years Toolbox helps us personalise their learning journey to meet their unique needs.
These programs are designed to help your child thrive, preparing them for school and beyond in a caring and supportive childcare environment where they can grow, explore, and succeed.
Positive Living Skills
This program is designed to equip children with essential skills for mental and emotional wellbeing. It helps them develop healthy self esteem and positive relationships, plus gives them tools and strategies that will help in all aspects of their life. Endorsed by Beyond Blue.
Reading Eggs & MathSeeds
These fun, engaging technology-based games help children learn foundational reading, mathematics and problem solving skills. Families enroled in our School Readiness program receive full access to these programs (valued at $250) at no additional charge.
Big Thinkers STEM
Our Big Thinkers STEM program focuses on engaging children's interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It covers topics like natural science, weather, physics, and biology using a learning-through-play and hands-on approach.
Early Years Toolbox
This app-based assessment tool for children aged 4-5 years is designed to accurately assesses their learning and development in areas such as numeracy, vocabulary, working memory, and aspects of self-regulation. This information in turn helps educators identify future intentional teaching opportunities.
