Inspired by Jerome Bruner’s Spiral Curriculum, Bloom with Bask is our unique inquiry-based learning approach where children explore challenging topics in age-appropriate ways, revisiting and expanding their understanding as they grow.

Through shared thinking and nurturing relationships, our curriculum encourages children to become confident learners while exceeding national quality standards, weaving literacy, numeracy, and creative thinking naturally into their daily discoveries.

BASK BUDDIES
Our Enrichment Program
Let us ignite your child’s imagination through six unique learning pathways, where curiosity sparks wild imagination. From creative and performing arts to STEM exploration, music, cultural discovery, and physical wellness, each pathway is thoughtfully designed to nurture your child’s natural talents and interests.

BASK COLLECTIVE
Our Community Connection Circle
We bring together a network of health services, educational partners, and cultural connections to help your child grow stronger, together. From child health nurses and therapists to environmental partners and wellness practitioners, we’ve created a nurturing circle of support that enriches your family’s journey at Bask.

Our Commitment: The Core Values of Bask Early Learning
Our values underpin all that we do at Bask Early Learning. Designed to guide our practices with intent, we encourage bravery, accountability, sparks of curiosity and kindness in all that we do.

Together, these values shape our approach to nurturing growth through care and knowledge, creating an early learning experience that develops confident, capable, and compassionate individuals who will shine brightly in their future endeavours.

Bravery
We believe bravery is about facing challenges with courage and resilience. We nurture children’s confidence to try new things, knowing that just as the sun rises each day, every attempt makes us stronger. By creating safe spaces for taking positive risks, we help children develop the courage to embrace life’s adventures, even when the path seems challenging.

Accountability
We stand firmly by our commitments and choices. We believe in owning our actions and their outcomes, using them as golden opportunities for growth and learning. By demonstrating responsibility in our daily practices, we teach children that accountability isn’t just about accepting consequences – it’s about growing stronger through our experiences and sharing these lessons with others.

Sparking Curiosity
We are passionate co-explorers, encouraging children to question, discover, and marvel at the world around them. Through our inquiry-based approach, we celebrate the joy of asking “why” and “how,” creating an environment where curiosity shines as brightly as the midday sun, leading to endless possibilities for learning and discovery.

Kindness
We create warm, welcoming spaces where care and respect flow naturally, touching everyone who enters our centres. By modelling genuine compassion and empathy, we show children that kindness isn’t just an action – it’s a way of being that makes our whole world brighter, creating lasting connections that warm hearts and foster belonging.

At Bask Early Learning, The Range, we are committed to providing a nurturing, caring, and welcoming environment where every child and family feels valued and respected. Our philosophy is built on trusting relationships, high-quality education and care, clear and consistent communication, equity, inclusion, and a strong sense of community.

We prioritise brave, open, honest, and regular communication with staff and families to ensure a collaborative approach to each child's learning and development. Our commitment to accountability ensures that everyone is informed and engaged in this journey.
We create a warm and inclusive atmosphere infused with kindness where children feel safe, loved, and supported, fostering their emotional and social well-being.
Building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families is at the heart of our practice. These relationships ensure a sense of belonging and security. We believe that bravery in these connections allows for deeper understanding and support.

Play is the primary vehicle for learning. Our child-led curriculum encourages children to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace while sparking curiosity through engaging and meaningful activities.
Environments that respect children's emerging skills and competencies enable them to make decisions and act independently. We ensure that our spaces spark curiosity and reflect the ideas, values, attitudes, and cultures of all who use them. We deliver a high-quality curriculum that sets high expectations for all children, promotes accountability, and encourages them to reach their full potential.

We are dedicated to promoting equity and inclusion for all children, ensuring they can access opportunities and resources to maximise learning, regardless of their background, culture or abilities.
We are committed to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in our programs and environment, providing cultural safety and fostering a sense of belonging for First Nations people.
