ABOUT
'Little Bloom' is a childcare facility that was designed to support a child's creative development through their time spent at 'daycare'. By facilitating a childcare environment that fosters self-expression and creative development, children - aged 18 months to 5 years, will be encouraged to participate in self-guided exploration. With the integration of intrinsic motivated activities that include arts and crafts along with music and movement, not only will they experience the concept of ‘free-play’, but an overall enrichment to their cognitive and social development is able to occur. The centre additionally features a co-operative workspace for women (mainly entrepreneurs and new mothers), who are looking to ease the transition back to work. Conveniently located above Little Bloom, the space offers a network for women to connect along with support in going back to work.
