This room provides a safe, responsive environment where babies can form secure attachments, explore their surroundings, and develop at their own pace.

Educators in The Cove place a strong emphasis on relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Through consistent caregiving, gentle routines, and attuned interactions, babies are supported to feel safe, comforted, and confident. Each child’s individual rhythms — including sleep, feeding, and play — are respected and followed in close partnership with families.

Learning in The Cove is guided by sensory-rich experiences that support early development across all areas.

Babies are encouraged to explore through touch, movement, sound, and visual discovery, building the foundations for communication, coordination, and curiosity. Simple, open-ended resources and natural materials invite exploration and support emerging physical and cognitive skills.

Our nursery environment is thoughtfully arranged to promote calmness, connection, and discovery.

Soft spaces for rest, open floor areas for movement, and engaging play zones allow babies to explore freely while remaining close to trusted educators.

At Dromana Beach, The Cove is a place where our youngest children are nurtured, celebrated, and supported as they begin their early learning journey.
