3-5 Bloomers Room

A rich preschool environment that nurtures curiosity, resilience, and foundational skills for school and life.
Our Bloomers room, with a capacity of twenty children, offers an intimate, intentionally designed open-plan space with seamless access to indoor and outdoor environments, including a dedicated yard separate from our Seedlings infants. Led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers, the room delivers high-quality, play-based programs that focus on school readiness and are thoughtfully crafted to shape each child’s learning journey. Children engage in experiences that build confidence, independence, creativity, and problem-solving skills, ensuring a smooth transition to school. Our Cronulla Beach curriculum connects children to their local environment, fostering a love of nature, community, and a strong sense of belonging while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and social growth.
