Pre School Boost

Bloom Wellbeing is proud to be an approved allied health provider under the South Australian Government’s Flying Start Preschool Boost program.

Through Preschool Boost, we partner with preschools and early childhood services across western and northern Adelaide to deliver practical, evidence-based occupational therapy supports that strengthen the skills of children while building the confidence and capacity of the adults who support them every day.

As a locally owned and operated occupational therapy provider we have strong ties to our local community, and value the opportunity to work with pre-school sites and educators to help them create supportive environments where children can successfully participate in play, learning and everyday routines. We work alongside educators, families and leadership teams to embed practical strategies that continue long after our sessions have finished – our aim is always to build capacity and sustainability in order to support long-term outcomes.

As an approved Pre-School Boost Menu Occupational Therapy provider, Bloom Wellbeing offers flexible services that can be tailored to the unique needs of each preschool community. Whether you’re looking to support a whole preschool, educators, families or leadership teams, we work collaboratively to design a program that meets your goals.

Our services may include support for:

• Emotional regulation and co-regulation
• Social and play skills
• Fine motor and gross motor development
• Sensory processing and participation
• School readiness
• Independence in everyday activities
• Creating supportive learning environments
• Neurodiversity-affirming classroom strategies
• Educator coaching and mentoringFamily education and workshops
• Every service is individually designed to meet the needs of your preschool community.

Everything we do is grounded in evidence-based occupational therapy and guided by relationship-based, strengths-focused and neurodiversity-affirming practice. We believe children achieve the best outcomes when the adults around them feel knowledgeable, confident and well supported.

That’s why our work focuses on building the capacity of:

• Educators
• Families and caregivers
• Preschool leadership teams
• Early childhood environments

Through coaching, mentoring, collaborative problem-solving and practical resources, we help embed strategies into everyday routines so that children can continue to benefit long after our involvement ends.

Every preschool is different, and so the support we provide will also be different. Following an initial consultation, we work with your leadership team to design a flexible program that may include:

• Site observations
• Educator professional learning
• Parent workshops
• Small group programs for children
• Coaching of staff within preschool environments
• Environmental recommendations
• Practical resources and implementation support
• Follow-up consultations and mentoring

Programs can be delivered face-to-face, online or through a blended model.

Our goal is to strengthen both children’s participation and the capability of the adults who support them.

Together, we aim to achieve:

• Greater participation in play, learning and everyday preschool activities
• Improved emotional regulation and co-regulation
• Increased confidence for educators and families
• Inclusive learning environments that support all children
• Stronger partnerships between families, educators and allied health professionals
• Improved school readiness and developmental outcomes

At Bloom Wellbeing, we understand that sustainable change happens when children are supported by confident adults within environments that enable them to succeed.

Our team brings together expertise in paediatric occupational therapy, educator mentoring and evidence-based early intervention. We pride ourselves on delivering practical, collaborative services that are responsive to each preschool’s unique strengths, challenges and goals.

We’re passionate about helping preschool communities create environments where every child feels safe, capable, included and ready to thrive. We’re also locally based in Adelaide’s western suburbs, our families live, work and learn in this region, and as such we have a strong commitment to serving our local community.
