Our positive and vibrant environment is rich in natural, open-ended resources and spaces for discovery, adventure and exploration.

About this service

Our program and approach

When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning, and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

Since the inception of the kitchen garden program in 2014, our exploration of and bond with nature has become an integral aspect of our daily curriculum. The introduction of our program and the nurturing outdoor environments we offer have been key factors cited by families in their decision to join our community. They recognise the importance of children having the chance to explore and connect with the natural world.
