About Blooming Curious

Hi, I'm Edwina

After more than a decade in traditional classrooms, I left because I saw how much children thrive when learning follows their natural curiosity instead of rigid schedules.


I understand education requirements, so you don't have to. I've done the work of figuring out what young children need to learn, and packaged it in ways that feel natural and joyful. My resources honour your choice to homeschool by giving you the confidence that comes from knowing your child is learning everything they need - while protecting the freedom and flexibility that made you choose to homeschool in the first place.


I know what you're thinking..."You're just another teacher repackaging school lessons."

Here's the difference: I'm not selling you a homeschool curriculum or a box of workbooks. I'm giving you learning experiences that start with what your child already loves - a favourite book, a puddle, a fallen leaf, and then teaching you how to naturally weave the thinking and learning skills children need, into that experience., while meeting curriculum outcomes.


As a homeschool tutor, I'll show you how to let curiosity lead through hands-on, inquiry and picture book-based learning experiences that allow children to learn at their own pace, and still keep moderators happy.


What are people saying

  • Blooming Curious product review by homeschool mum

    "Edwina's lesson plans are so well thought out and simple to follow. I love that she focuses on hands on learning and uses alternatives to worksheets. I also love how all the curriculum is linked so I don't have to think about it as a homeschool mum. I highly recommend Edwina and her curiosity approach to leaning for children. Her many years in teaching is evident in her lesson plans and I think she is invaluable to home education moving forward and a wealth of knowledge."

  • Blooming Curious resource review by early childhood educato

    "Edwina delivers very professional units of work that anyone from the most experienced, to the at home parent can deliver to their children with confidence and ease, knowing that their little learner will be engaged and covering the Australian curriculum content. I will definitely be purchasing more of these units and look forward to many more lessons to do with my children at home, and in the classroom."


    — Nadia Bosco (Classroom Educator)


  • Blooming Curious lesson plan review by early childhood educator

    "I found Edwina's lesson plan for The Tiger Who Came to Tea to be an invaluable resource to support my classroom teaching. Everything I needed was at my fingertips. I loved the inquiry-based learning underpinning the activities, the clear links to the curriculum and the integration across multiple subject areas. The worksheets were attractive and the suggested activities were highly engaging for my students. I found them easy to prepare and set up utilising resources that I already had on hand. I throughly recommend Edwina's lesson plans for any educator wanted to inject some more zest into their teaching."

  • Blooming Brilliant Podcast about Joyful Active Learning

    This podcast is brilliant and so inspiring. The passion that, Edwina, oozes puts a smile on my face when I listen.

    She not only is inspiring but practical too.

    Her suggestions come with real anecdotes that inspire action. She shares her passion with such enthusiasm that this should be mandatory for all teachers AND legislators to listen as part of weekly Professional development.

  • Inquiry, Curiosity, and Outdoors for Youngers

    Love the concrete strategies Edwina is giving to help inspire curiosity in our young learners. She's also showing us how we empower learners by including them in their own learning. Give it a listen if you are a teacher or parent looking to get youngers outside and curious!

  • Great Educational Podcast

    Great thoughts from Edwina. She's easy to listen to and provides very thought provoking content. I've been a teacher for 33 years now in the UK and really value her ideas on inquiry based learning. I shall definitely be downloading her 101 resource as I've been put in reception next year- and dreading it! (But trying to change my mindset).

  • Where Evidence Meets Practice

    I really enjoy Edwina's podcast. She has a knack for taking big educational concepts and breaking them down into smaller, bite sized pieces of information. I particularly like that she is able to use evidence to unpack certain myths that are floating around (particularly about EDI vs. inquiry). A wonderful listen!

Your newsletter offers weekly reminders of how to "get curious" every day. I get a lot of emails each day, but I open your newsletter up because I know on the other end I am getting amazing content that is filled with stories, ideas, and resources. I love your style and can feel your joy and fun, which is contagious. Thank you for all you do

    — Victoria Hackett of Outdoor Classrooms


  • I open most of the newsletters. I do like to have a scan though to see what’s coming up on the podcast, what’s new and mostly looking for whatever is relevant to my thinking about my job with preschool children that week.
