Their Smartbook™ parent interaction program ensures parents are kept informed of activities and learning done whilst at school through emailed newsletters, individual detailed profiles, baseline assessments and reports with parent days. They have an open door policy and parents are frequently invited to attend seminars and school shows and activities. Healthy, hot lunch like Shepards Pie, Chili and Rice and fruit and veggie based snacks are all included for children 1 year and above which allow them to develop good dietary habits and understand the practice of good eating.

They teach children about the Balance of Health and the Food Pyramid, serve water and fresh juices and even have their own cooking classes where children make fruit kababs, fresh pasta and orange juice and pick mangoes from our very own mango tree! Rotating menus and recipes are given to parents throughout the year with recipes from Annabel Karmel, Jamie Oliver, The Sneaky Chef, and Immunity Foods for Children many others being used. Blossom caters to working parents and wants to ensure that children who remain with them all day are getting the best of care available.

At Blossom, they are committed to provide a learning space that is both secure and stimulating. It is age appropriate and designed to accommodate their “emergent curriculum” approach. This means children should be exposed too many experiences and objects to get their creative juices flowing – and choose avenues and paths to learning. As such, space must be secure, empowering and accessible for children and enable them to explore themselves. They do this by having three separate zones – the Baby section with three classes (their Buttercups, Daffodils and Daisies) focusing on children aged six months to 22 months; the Toddler section – (their Poppies and Bluebells) with children aged 22 months to 3 years and the Preschool Section (their Violets, Tulips, Lilies and Sunflowers) catering to 3-5 year olds.

Each area has age appropriate shared spaces that encourage children to find roots and comfort in their zones. Children move up classes as they are ready and these “graduations” are done gradually though visits to ensure familiarity and minimize child stress. The organization of the physical environment is crucial to Reggio Emilia's early childhood program, and is often referred to as the child's "third teacher." In designing Blossom they have worked to integrate each classroom with the rest of the school, and will work to involve the surrounding community. Natural light has been maximized and their preschool classrooms open to a center piazza. Mirrors, photographs and childrens work characterise interiors. In each case, the environment informs and engages the viewer and they will work to constantly renew their spaces.
