Our philosophy

At Bimbimbie Learning Studio, we provide a high-quality, play-based early learning program inspired by our natural surroundings and aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework. Our approach replaces screen time with rich, hands-on learning that encourages children to explore, connect with, and care for the natural environment.

Informed by contemporary neuroscience and guided by Steiner-inspired practices, we intentionally nurture each child’s development through the integration of head, heart, and hands. Within a warm, small-group setting, children are supported to build confidence, resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of wellbeing.

Through imagination, imitation, rhythm, and the use of natural materials, we foster secure relationships and support children’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our program lays strong foundations for lifelong learning, empowering children to grow into capable, creative, and well-rounded individuals.

Our programs

We offer a range of programs tailored for children under five, focusing on hands-on experiences, sensory play, creativity, and outdoor discovery. Each day is designed to engage with the rhythms of nature and the wonders of our rural surroundings.  As part of our weekly program the children will participate in a River Kindy Program, tend to a variety of animals, nurture the fruit orchard, grow vegetables and establish a farm gate stall.
