I've worked with...

With 17+ years of experience in many areas of education, I am chiefly passionate about supporting early childhood educators and leaders in how they work with children's big feelings and tricky behaviours so they can best support the needs of the little people in their care.

I am on a mission to be your support person, cheerleader, and go-to resource in demystifying how to effectively support children through their big feelings and guide them towards prosocial behaviours.

Welcome to your safe space, your hub, and a place where, together, we’ll lean in to make an ever-lasting change. I am so, so grateful to have you here.

The Little Bloom Difference

Our role as educators can be daunting – we act as safe harbours while our little

ones are discovering all that it means to be human, including navigating the

sometimes-murky waters of emotions and prosocial behaviours. Goodness, this can

lead us to feeling overwhelmed! Where do we start? How do we act as confident

leaders and guides? This is where Little Bloom can help.

KIND WORDS

Danica communicates her knowledge in a clear and empowering way, consistently backed up with well-founded research and evidence. I always find myself being able to translate what l've learnt from Danica very effectively in the classroom when it comes to supporting children's behaviour.

“

Danica is an absolute wealth of knowledge. I knew as soon as I discovered her that she was the person I needed to learn from at the point of time in our lives to help support the big feelings that our children were/are experiencing. Danica has gone above and beyond in responding to my on going questions and has continued to offer support should any further questions arise.

Danica helped me feel confident in my practice and in my knowledge that l had to come in at the start of the year being new to the service and setting up a classroom space for the first time. Danica helped me talk through all the things that were important for me in a classroom and how to make them come to life.

Early Childhood Teacher

Are you someone who is:
✓ Passionate about nurturing connections?
✓ Overwhelmed by tricky behaviours and big feelings?
✓ Needing confidence in supporting challenging situations?
✓Seeking to move beyond traditional punitive approaches towards embedding guidance into your practice (no behaviour charts around here!)?
✓ Driven to improve the emotional well-being of the children in your care?
✓ Excited to implement healthy boundaries and communication skills?
✓ Open to learning how to understand and respond to the root cause of tricky behaviour?
✓ Looking for a tool-kit packed to the brim with strategies that work?

How many did you say yes to?

Oook … even reading the list can feel pretty overwhelming, right?

Let me change that for you.

Through three fundamental pillars of mindset, evidence and practice,

I aim to make redundant a limiting mindset and introduce a new perspective for both understanding and guiding children's behaviour and emotional development.

I provide current research in education, child development, psychology, neuroscience,

and mental health and map out what this looks like for children’s behaviour and

social-emotional development. I then tie it all together with strategies that equip you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to effectively support big feelings and behaviours so you, as well as the children in your care, can truly thrive.

Through Little Bloom, my primary goal is to honour every individual

for the incredible human that they are – and that includes you!
