Set within the beautiful coastal surroundings of Bermagui, the centre embraces a strong connection to nature and community, encouraging children to explore, discover, and develop a love of learning through meaningful play. Our dedicated educators provide high-quality early childhood education and care, supporting each child’s individual interests and milestones. At Little Gumnuts Bermagui, we pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with families and creating an environment where children can flourish both socially and emotionally.

We honour the language and culture of the Yuin people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn and play. In Dhurga language, children are celebrated through beautiful words that describe different stages of growth — Babawaraga (babies), Djunggawaraga (young children), Muriyirawaraga (older children), and Wulimburawaraga (children, many children). These words reflect the importance of every stage of childhood and inspire the way we nurture, care for, and support each child’s journey at our centres.

“Wulimburawaraga” is a word from the Dhurga language, the traditional language of the Yuin Nation on the South Coast of NSW. It means “children” or “many children” and is often used in connection with community, learning, and care for little ones.

The Wulimburawaraga room educators create an environment for children to develop safe and secure relationships with educators and children. Routines and activities are designed to reflect individual needs in a caring environment. This holistic approach in learning environment allows educators and families to work together in planning and reflecting on each child, and seeing their development as an ongoing journey that ebbs and flows naturally, supported by intentional teaching practice that is documented, scaffolded, and nurtured to cultivate the best potential outcomes.
