Meet the Manager
Katia Vaszkinel
With more than 15 years of experience in early childhood education and the perspective that comes from being a mother, Katia leads the team at Nurture Early Learning Victoria Park with care, expertise, and purpose.
Katia and her team at Victoria Park are united by a shared vision to create an environment where every child feels safe, respected, and inspired to learn. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, Katia believes every child is naturally curious, capable, and full of potential. Together, the team takes the time to truly know each child, carefully observing their interests, nurturing their strengths, and creating meaningful learning experiences that build confidence, independence, and lasting relationships. Every child is recognised as an individual, and every milestone is celebrated.
Learning at Victoria Park extends well beyond the classroom. Katia and her team believe children thrive when educators, families, and the local community work together. Through strong partnerships, regular incursions, and meaningful community connections, they create a place where children develop a genuine sense of belonging and families feel part of the journey.
The Nurture Difference
Safe and uplifting environments
Our Victoria Park centre is intentionally designed to be welcoming, calm and engaging, drawing on a Reggio Emilia inspired approach where the environment supports children’s learning and sense of belonging. We use natural and recycled materials, along with soft and cohesive colour palettes, to create spaces that feel calm, considered and inviting. These environments are designed to help children feel secure, supported and ready to learn.
Quality education and care
We deliver consistent, high quality early education through structured programs guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our approach supports each child’s development, learning and wellbeing, while maintaining strong communication with families and encouraging their involvement in their child’s learning journey.
All-inclusive Arts Programme
At Nurture, the arts are a fundamental part of our educational philosophy. Our dedicated Arts Program, included within our daily curriculum at no additional cost, provides children with meaningful opportunities to engage in visual arts, dance and creative expression. These experiences are led by qualified specialist art and dance teachers who work alongside our educators to inspire creativity, nurture confidence and support children's social, emotional and cognitive development through the arts.
Locally owned and accountable
Nurture Early Learning is locally owned and managed, with a hands on approach to how our centres operate. This allows for clear oversight, consistent standards and responsive decision making. Families can feel confident knowing the people behind the centres are accessible, invested and committed to delivering a high quality experience.
Strong relationships and connections
We prioritise genuine relationships between educators, children and families, building trust and a strong sense of belonging within each centre. This is supported through open communication, involvement in each child’s learning journey, and meaningful connections with the broader community. Through regular community incursions, children engage with local organisations, aged care residents, artists, cultural groups, health professionals and community members, creating authentic opportunities to learn about the world around them, develop empathy, and foster a sense of connection.

Does Nurture Early Learning have an education program?
Our program is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, Australia’s national curriculum for early childhood education.
The EYLF supports the holistic development of every child — socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively and creatively — through play-based and inquiry-driven learning.
Our practice is grounded in strong relationships, high expectations, inclusion, respect for diversity and sustainability. We focus on the following key aspects:
STEAM Inquiry
Children explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics through hands-on, play-based experiences.
School Readiness
School readiness is embedded across our entire program, beginning in infancy and developing progressively each year. Children build confidence, independence and essential skills to ensure a smooth and positive transition to school.
Creative Arts & Dance
Guided by the Reggio concept of the “hundred languages,” children express themselves through art, movement, music and dance.
