Bloom Early Education is a Western Australian owned and operated organisation who are committed to raising the standards of early education and care for all children in WA.

Primarily a long day care provider, Bloom also offers before and after school care and vacation care at select sites, with transport to and from select schools in the area and multiple pickups available for siblings at different schools.

Bloom Early Education has services in Mandurah, Byford, Dawesville and Jindalee, with a fifth service under construction in Beechboro.

The history of Bloom Early Education

Provider approval for Bloom Early Education was granted in July 2022.

What is the Bloom Early Education vision and approach to learning?

Bloom Early Education’s vision is “to become the go-to early education and care provider in every community in WA”.

Rather than adhering to one philosophy, perspective or way of working with children, Bloom Early Education believes that “while one teaching philosophy or method may work for one child; it won’t work for all. That’s why we draw from all the major early educational philosophies (Reggio Emelia, Montessori, etc.) to deliver what works best. This includes a mixture of child-led learning, play-based activities, opportunities to freely embrace curiosity and planned developmental programs.”

Are there any unique aspects to the Bloom Early Education offer?

The outside school hours care and vacation care programs have a strong STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) curriculum focus which involves coding robots, engineering with Lego, and other activities to expose children to different ways of thinking, helping them to develop their own innovation and creativity.
