Parent Insights

The early years shape your child’s brain, confidence, and success. Learn how Newbie Nest Early Learning & Kindergarten in Mernda builds strong foundations through play-based education, care, and nurturing support.

Did you know that 90% of a child’s brain develops before age 5?

At Newbie Nest, we believe these early years are not just preparation for school — they are the foundation for life. This phase shapes a child’s language, emotions, personality, confidence, and even the way they form relationships later in life.

The “Learning Window” You Don’t Want to Miss

In the early years, children absorb information faster than any other time in life. Every sound, color, touch, or word forms a connection in their developing brain.

That’s why it’s crucial to provide the right environment, the right guidance, and the right emotional support during these years.

It’s More Than Just ABCs

True early learning goes beyond numbers and alphabets. At Newbie Nest, we focus on:

Language development through storytelling and open dialogue
Creative thinking through messy play and imagination
Social skills through interaction, sharing, and empathy
Confidence-building by encouraging decision-making and independence

Preschool vs Daycare: What’s the Difference?

Many parents ask — is there really a difference?

Yes. Preschools (like Newbie Nest) follow a structured, curriculum-based model that prepares children for school emotionally, socially, and academically.
Daycares focus more on basic care and supervision.

If you want your child to be school-ready AND life-ready, an early learning centre is your best investment.
