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!

You may also be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which can significantly lower your daily costs. Many families are surprised by how affordable quality childcare can be with CCS. Use our simple CCS Calculator to instantly see your potential out-of-pocket costs and start planning today.

National Quality Framework

Our centre practices, policies and procedures align with legislative requirements as outlined in the National Quality Framework. This means that every effort is made to comply with the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulation, the approved learning frameworks and the National Quality Standards.

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.

Healthy Beginnings

Babies aged 0-1 years

Your baby will start their lifelong learning journey with us in a safe, nurturing environment. Educators will:

  • Develop strong, positive bonds;
  • Encourage confidence to explore new surroundings;
  • Spark curiosity through sensory experiences; and
  • Establish helpful routines that support health and wellbeing.

Early Experiences

Toddlers aged 1-3 years

Your toddler will enjoy an exciting environment in which to explore and experiment as their confidence and social skills emerge. Educators will:

  • Introduce literacy and numeracy through learning games;
  • Support self expression through language skills; and 
  • Develop social and friendship skills in group settings.

School Readiness

Children aged 3-5 years

Your child will be given the very best start before they begin primary school at Aussie Kindies! Educators will:

  • Guide self-awareness, self-help skills and socialisation;
  • Investigate literacy, mathematics, science, technology and the arts;
  • Stimulate creativity, deeper thinking and problem solving; and
  • Prepare children for classroom environments through play-based preschool and kindergarten programs.
At our childcare centre, we offer a government-approved kindergarten program (also known as preschool in some states) combined with long day care, blending early education and care under one roof.

Taught by a bachelor-qualified teacher, our school readiness program helps children build the essential skills for a smooth transition to primary school. Through play-based learning and meaningful interactions, children develop confidence, social skills, and a love of learning.

With extended care hours and a nurturing environment, our kindergarten/preschool program supports your child’s academic and emotional growth while preparing them for ‘big school’ and lifelong success.
