What we offer
Framework and Program
Primary Care
The aim of primary caregiving at Blossoms is to ensure that each child has a positive child care
experience. Referred to as ‘secure base behaviour’, primary caregiving encourages a child to explore the
environment and take risks knowing an adult (with whom they have a secure, trusting
relationship) is close by if necessary.
Emergent Curriculum
Secure attachments are based on healthy relationships between children and caregivers.
Children who are securely attached will be happy to say goodbye to parents and caregiver,
play easily by themselves and with others and only cry if hungry, tired or hurt.
Primary care giving also assists parents in knowing who to talk to about their child's progress at care.
Emergent curriculum describes a program that is responsive to children’s interests, and is meaningful, relevant and engaging for each child. Educators working within the emergent curriculum, endeavour to build on children’s prior learning and current interests, and provoke new ideas and learning opportunities that challenge and extend children’s existing understandings about the world.
Ratios
Ratios enable us to provide a consistently high standard of care for children at our centres. By having a maximum number of children per educator in each room, we ensure that our full attention is given to each child.
