Nedlands School of Early Learning
Nedlands School of Early Learning Centre overview
We are a Western Australian owned and run business, established in 1974 by Bernadette Giambazi, who received an AM in 2000 for her services to the Australian Early Childhood sector.
Bernadette’s daughters, Louise, Sarah and Genevieve continue their mother’s passion, commitment and excellence as hands on Directors of Schools of Early Learning.
Our Early Learning Programmes are developed based on observations of the children. Staff document the children’s learning, combining anecdotes, photographs, videos and audio to gain a picture of individual children and their interactions and relationships. Collaborative aims, focused on children’s interests are identified, building on the skills and knowledge already acquired, how the interests may be expressed and the skills necessary.
Literacy and numeracy are natural consequences of this inquiry based approach to learning. Through research, investigation, exploration, planning, designing and hypothesising, children read, experiment, imagine and create. The children’s discoveries and the meaning they make of them are recorded in drawings, photographs, writing, measuring, spatial organisation, graphs and numbers. Exploring collaboratively, children develop skills in working with others, communicating, making choices and sharing knowledge.
The School of Early Learning purposefully includes large specific Studio spaces and dedicated Studio Educators, whose role is outside of the day to day care of the children, to facilitate individual exploration, learning, experimentation and growth of self-expression by children, through their interactions with the visual arts.
We are committed to employing and retaining the best Educators in the profession, with all of our employees having a minimum Certificate III level of qualification. All staff are encouraged to actively complete qualifications through our own high level Registered Training Organisation, Early Years Education Training (EYE Training). The standard of training delivered by EYE Training, and therefore the skill and commitment level required by students is rigorous, with the resulting graduates producing a very high quality of employee.
We pride ourselves on our understanding of the needs of our community and providing the highest quality education and care to our children and their families.

Highly professional, incredibly attentive and actively nurtures each little one through the stages of development at their own pace. What a precious gift we have in WA, to be able to trust our little ones in the care of professional educators that have a genuine interest in the development of our children. Both of my daughters have been in the care of Nedlands SOEL from babies all the way through to 4yo kindy! As individuals they could not be more different, yet both of thrived - the artistic freedom, the food, the sleep, the skill progression and the basics of interaction, manners, social awareness have been prevalent in each room they have moved through over time. It's not easy returning to work, but I'm grateful every day that I can feel so secure in my choice of daycare for my girls. SOEL has prepared them very well for Pre primary and the adventure that lays ahead. Read more
Thank you for taking the time to do this Emily. We are so glad that your SOEL experience was everything that we wish for all of our children.
