Milestones Early Learning Centre Outdoor Playground for Kids

Outdoor Play Equipment

Outdoor play is an essential experience for young children as it plays a vital role in their physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

Each Milestones Early Learning Centre features an exciting outdoor play area for children to explore, build confidence, and develop friendships. The outdoor play area is different at each Milestones centre, but all include a large playground, sandpit and space to run, jump, balance and climb.

Meals Prepared Onsite

Each day our Centre Cooks prepare a wide variety of nutritious meals and purees onsite for the children and babies in our centres, taking the time to involve the children in meal preparation and healthy food education.

Creativity is essential when satisfying a number of young food critics every day, as is care, to ensure children's daily nutritional needs, and any individual cultural or dietary requirements are being met.

Note: A small number of our centres do not provide meals. The Centre Manager will let you know when you meet the team prior to enrolment though.

Meet Our Team

Hello! I’m Nola McKinnon, the Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Bundoora. With over a decade of experience in Early Childhood Education and Care and three and a half years as a Centre Manager, I’m dedicated to fostering a nurturing, inspiring, and inclusive environment where children, families, and educators thrive.

At Milestones, I’m passionate about supporting and mentoring our team to deliver high-quality education and care tailored to each child’s unique needs. I joined Affinity Education Group because of the values of collaboration, cooperation, and open communication—principles that help us build a strong sense of community.

I believe in creating a love of learning and a sense of wonder in every child, supporting their individual development and helping them build resilience for the future. By empowering our team to bring their best strengths to the table, we ensure each child feels safe, inspired, and valued in our care.

My door is always open to listen and collaborate with families as we work together to nurture your child’s growth. I’m excited to be part of their learning journey, watching them flourish and develop a lifelong love of learning.
