Early Learning South Melbourne

Apple Blossoms’ newest Early Learning Centre is centrally located in the heart of South Melbourne, near the Dorcas and Clarendon Street intersection. We are a privately owned centre who believe in providing the highest quality care for your children.

At our South Melbourne Early Learning centre we use organic food prepared by our in-house chef. Our focus is on delicious, low-allergenic food with menus designed especially for growing strong little bodies and minds. We encourage our children to learn about nutrition and food in a fun way – feeding the chooks and collecting eggs is a favourite activity within our centre.

Your children can also enjoy growing fresh vegetables in our vege gardens – and picking the produce when it’s ready. Apple Blossoms is a purpose built Early Learning centre where we have incorporated worm farms, compost areas and fruit trees.

Our natural outdoor classroom has wood structures left in their natural state. Children play and learn with natural elements like mud and water in the mud kitchen. In our adventure playground we use natural materials, in our water flowing pump and sand play area. The river-like bed and splash areas are designed for appropriate aged children.

Inside our Early Learning centre we have pot plants and other greenery to enhance a calm, natural indoor environment. We also encourage children bringing natural materials inside, for learning and play. Flowers, twigs, pebbles, gumnuts are used within imaginative play, for learning concepts of sorting, counting, same/ different, big / small.

Apple Blossoms Early Learning curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework. This is also part of the National Quality Framework. Our classrooms in South Melbourne are age appropriate to:

• Babies (0-2 years)
• Toddler (2-3 years)
• Kinder (3-5 years)

Our educators are passionate about the care they provide for your children in a fun and safe environment. Having fun, playing, learning are key to your child’s happiness. Our team of educators are chosen because of their ability to nurture your child through learning. It is this ability, along with their qualifications and Early Learning experience that makes us special in Early Learning in South Melbourne.

We warmly invite you to enjoy a cup of tea and take a tour of Apple Blossoms, South Melbourne.
