About us

Blossoms first opened its doors to Sydney children in 2014 at our West Ryde centre. Since then, we have had over 200 families pass through our doors from infancy to primary school. Following the success of our first centre, Blossoms Lane Cove opened mid-2016 to accommodate for the growing numbers of North Shore families looking for quality childcare.

Our Philosophy

Children
We value early childhood education as the foundation for lifelong learning. We believe that each child is a unique individual and should be viewed, respected and treated as such. As the welfare and wellbeing of a child is paramount, we strive to provide holistic support to each child’s unique requirements and interests in a nurturing, familiar environment that fosters the child’s growth across all developmental domains.
Family
Family is the most important and influential aspect in the lives of young children and the role of their relationships cannot be underestimated. Partnerships with families provide us with valuable information relating to cultural backgrounds and heritage. Educators strive to build relationships with families based on co-operation and a mutual respect for the reciprocal roles that each play in the life of the child. Partnerships with families are developed through daily discussion, newsletters, family inputs, parent-teacher interviews, celebrations and meetings.
Program
We believe that children learn through play and therefore need a balance of open ended commercial and natural resources to promote interactions, spontaneity, risk-taking, exploration, discovery and a connection with nature. Our programs are completed and implemented daily. A large portion of our programming occupied by planned implications observed in individual children; however, there is also substantial opportunity for the children to participate in spontaneous independent experiences as part of play based learning. 

Experiences at the centre offer children the opportunity to develop a plethora of skills in areas such as exploration, self-discovery, social interactions and problem solving, with the aim to set the child up for success. Our educational programs are reflective of emergent curriculum and adhere to guidelines set by ACECQA, National Quality Framework and The Early Years Learning Framework, taking the child’s developmental level into account.
Community
Partnerships with industry professionals assist staff development and expansion of the curriculum to meet the individual and collective needs of all children. Needs based on cultural identity, additional support, education and medical conditions all require greater individual knowledge and supported cooperative teams to ensure all children are facilitated in an inclusive environment to the highest standard.
