Where curiosity meets connection in the heart of Mullumbimby. At Kool Beanz Mullumbimby, every day is an adventure. From outdoor play and morning tea to creative indoor activities and special weekly sessions, our Little Beanz are encouraged to explore, connect, and grow. With moments for rest, mindful activities, and hands-on learning, children leave at the end of each day happy, confident, and ready for tomorrow.
Grounded in the heart of the Mullumbimby community, Kool Beanz Mullumbimby is more than just a childcare centre – it’s a place where children feel at home, connected, and inspired to explore. Every day is designed to balance learning, play, rest, and connection, all within a safe and welcoming environment.
Here’s a peek into a typical day at our centre:
6:30am – Family Grouping & Outdoor Play
The day begins with a warm welcome from our educators, and children explore and play in our beautiful, light-filled outdoor play area. This calm start encourages independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging from the very first moment.
9:00am – Progressive Morning Tea
Our Little Beanz meander indoors to wash their hands, and get ready for morning tea. Morning tea is a relaxed, social experience with healthy, delicious options. Eating together helps children develop social skills, share, and enjoy a nutritious start to the day.
10:00am – Indoor Activities & Learning
During this part of the day, our children enjoy a variety of enriching activities designed to spark curiosity, build skills, and have fun. Throughout the week, this period features a rotating schedule of unique experiences, including our specially designed sessions listed below.
Special Weekly Sessions:
- Monday – Future Champs (3-5 year olds): Fun, active games that build coordination and teamwork.
- Thursday – Yoga with Miss Nicole (Toddlers to Preschool): Gentle stretches and mindfulness exercises to encourage calm, focus, and body awareness.
11:30am – Lunch
It’s time for a delicious, chef-prepared meal! Lunch is a calm, nourishing moment where kids enjoy a variety of healthy foods. Sharing this mealtime fosters social connection, encourages curiosity with new tastes, and supports mindful eating habits, promoting both physical health and positive routines.
12:00pm – Rest & Quiet Activities
After a busy morning, this time allows our Little Beanz to recharge through rest or gentle, reflective activities. Options such as reading, soft music, or sensory play support emotional regulation, creativity, and overall well-being, helping everyone feel balanced and ready for the afternoon.

A light snack provides energy for the rest of the day while offering a relaxed space for connection, conversation, and reflection on the day so far. This moment nurtures both physical and social well-being, helping children feel grounded and supported.
2:30pm – Outdoor Play & Water Play
The afternoon is spent outside in our bright, beautiful outdoor play area, where children can climb, engage in imaginative games, and enjoy exciting water play. This is a time for them to connect with nature, develop physical skills, nurture creativity, and grow in confidence, all while having endless fun. On certain days during the week, we also offer unique activities, giving children the chance to explore new experiences, develop social skills, and deepen their curiosity through hands-on learning and play.
Special Sessions:
- Monday (Fortnightly) – Preschool Visits with St John Primary: We welcome some very special visitors to our centre – our friends from St John Primary school. This special session allows our Preschool children to get an early taste of school life, building confidence and curiosity through fun, hands-on experiences with their ‘Big School Buddies’.
- Wednesday – Japanese with Miss Ami (Toddlers to Preschool): We explore a new language through songs, counting, and interactive games that make learning Japanese fun and memorable.
4:00pm – Free Play and Pick-Up
As families arrive, the centre hums with a calm, joyful energy. The afternoon allows for unstructured play, where our Little Beanz can move, explore, and engage with their surroundings at their own pace. Whether riding bikes, joining in imaginative games, or simply relaxing with friends, this time supports their social, emotional, and physical well-being, concluding the day with a sense of connection and contentment as they reunite with their families.
