The Bloom Room: An Early Childhood Podcast

Where big feelings are welcome, tricky behaviour isn’t shamed, and early childhood educators finally feel seen. Are you an educator, teacher, or school leader navigating the messy, beautiful world of guiding children’s behaviour, emotions, and sense of belonging? You’ve just found your people. I’m Danica - early childhood mentor and consultant, and your go-to gal for honest, heart-led conversations about what actually works when supporting young children. Inside The Bloom Room, we go beyond sticker charts and surface-level strategies. Each week, I bring you fresh episodes packed with:
 ✨ Real, evidence-informed tools you can use tomorrow
. ✨ Thoughtful chats with experts and educators doing the work.
 ✨ Practical guidance for supporting behaviour without shame.
 ✨ A whole lot of validation, nuance, and “OMG SAME” moments. Whether you're a seasoned leader or fresh out of uni, this is your space to grow, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible for the children in your care - and for yourself. New episodes drop every Tuesday.
