Sustainability and caring for the natural world is at the heart of our curriculum at Mullaloo. We will immerse our Mullaloo children into the conservation of our environment and learn with them along the way.
Tall Tree Early Learning Centre Mullaloo opened in September 2022 and provides a tranquil home-away-from-home environment for inquisitive little learners. We connect the children, ourselves and our families to the local community, developing a true sense of belonging.
The curriculum for Tall Tree Mullaloo continues our Reggio-inspired and small group philosophy, allowing children the chance to lead their own learning journey and investigate whatever makes their heart sing.
Small groups allow for confidence in their own abilities and true conversational learning with their Educator and friends. Sustainability continues to be the focus of our programming, as we believe creating conscious citizens starts at an early age.
Alongside Sustainability, Food and Nutrition education plays an important role in daily teachings and provocation. Here we introduce social eating and a focus on whole, seasonal ingredients. Experimenting with new tastes and textures through the best of what nature provides. Our Early Learning Centre in Mullaloo celebrates all that is to be treasured about being close to the ocean and the wonderful learning opportunities this natural environment and ecosystem provides.
The environment in which your little one spends their day is vitally important to the way in which they build relationships and their ability to learn. The Learning Environment is considered the third teacher, playing a central role in making learning meaningful for your little one.
Children learn through the building and sustaining of relationships, through interaction and engagement with others. The environment in which they spend their time is therefore essential, in creating a space to facilitate and foster. We create functional, interactive and responsive environments in which child-led interests come to the fore.
Early childhood is a time of discovery; and structured lesson plans are no match for genuine interest when it comes to learning. Environments must initiate self-discovery and intrigue. Our Educators are encouraged to delve well below the surface, to build a sound understanding of the principles of a child's thinking, questions and curiosities. Not just what they think, but how they think it and why.
My name is Nicola, and I am your new Centre Manager at Tall Tree Mullaloo. I have thoroughly enjoyed working in the Early Childhood Education and Care industry for the past 17-years.
I originally studied a BA in Primary Education and taught in the UK before moving to Perth in 2005 with my husband.I first started as an Outside School Care Coordinator, which I did for three years before moving into Early Learning Centre Management after the birth of my first child.
During my thirteen years as a Centre Manager I have also obtained my Certificate III, Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services. I have completed numerous Leadership and Management and Early Childhood courses as part of Professional Development opportunities. I love learning and developing my knowledge, as I believe this is the best way to ensure I am the best possible Educator and Manager I can be.
Simultaneous to my positions, I have also worked as an in-house assessor and Assistant Operations Manager in childcare. I have helped services prepare for assessment and have been responsible for training incoming Educators, Assistant and Centre Managers. I also enjoyed a period working with ECU, observing and supporting student teachers during their placements in the Early Years setting. People are so important in this industry; you need to have highly qualified and extremely passionate people.
My passion lies in working directly with children and families. Being a part of providing a quality environment and exceptional service to them each and every day.
I have just spent 3-years as Centre Manager at Tall Tree Subiaco. My favourite part of my role has been moulding the new service into a beautiful home away from home environment it has become, which is what I’m hoping to bring to Mullaloo.
As a parent, I know how important it is for families to feel comfortable when leaving their child(ren) with their Educators, therefore my favourite part of my working day is seeing the children enjoying where they are and loving what they do, as this must mean we are doing a great job. I love seeing children feel like they belong and thriving in the environment we as Educators create.
I enjoy building relationships with the families and children in my care and also going for a stroll around the Centre when I can so that I can get some cuddles and conversations with the children. Sometimes children really do say the funniest things!
I am really looking forward to getting to know all of the children, families and Educators at Tall Tree Mullaloo and making it a beautiful place to be.
Our little one has settled right in to Tall Tree Mullaloo, the team are so dedicated to making it the best environment possible and spend so much time making sure each child is right at home.
The activities provided to our little one change every day, and provide her with ample opportunity to learn, often get messy and develop her social skills with both other kids and the lovely Educators.
You can see they truly have a passion for their work and making sure your child is safe, happy and thriving. My girl absolutely loves her days at Tall Tree Mullaloo and looks forward to it every week, thanks to the beautiful space and team.
When we were looking into care for our son, we agonised over finding a place where he would feel safe and happy. We are so glad that we landed on Tall Tree Mullaloo!
We marvel at the experiences his Educators provide and the way they expose him to important topics such as First Nations culture, environmental responsibility and celebrations around the world in such a relevant and age appropriate way.
Above all, we are grateful for how well our son's educators seem to know him and for the love and care that he receives from them while we are at work. It helps to alleviate the working parent guilt just a little bit knowing that our son enjoys his time at Tall Tree!

You start life as a tiny seed, something so small and yet so powerful, something so important to so many. From there, your roots, the foundation from which all will grow, take hold.
The environment in which you grow, must be nourishing, supportive, and provide you with all that you need to flourish from seed, to seedling. A time in which nurturing, and support are imperative, as you understand the environment in which you are planted and begin to make sense of it for yourself.From seedling, to sapling, you begin to settle. To grow stronger, taller, more resilient. A sense of independence and a rapid acquisition of new branches and leaves. But in order to make this monumental leap, you need consistent and reliable input from your environment. Each and every sapling, needs nutrients and protection, in order to thrive and grow from sapling to tree. The aim is forever not to merely survive, but to thrive. To grow tall.
