Why Us
We’re more than a childcare centre— Our philosophy centres on real-world learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Each day, no matter rain or shine, we embark on nature-based excursions, such as bush walks to the base of Mount Wellington and outdoor exploration. These activities immerse children in nature and foster curiosity, creativity, and resilience while allowing them to exercise their voice and agency.
The curriculum offers older children a unique opportunity for nature immersion while at school, initiated with their wellbeing and interests in mind. Children thrive when they can engage with the natural world frequently and meaningfully. Our sessions are designed to offer consistent opportunities to explore, play, and learn in diverse outdoor environments. These adventures nurture problem-solving skills and a lifelong appreciation for nature.
By encouraging children to lead their own explorations, we support their innate ability to learn through discovery and interaction with their surroundings. Our educators provide a variety of open-ended materials and thoughtfully designed spaces that inspire curiosity and imagination. Passionate about preserving the environment, we aim to cultivate a deep connection with nature in every child, fostering an appreciation for the world around them.
We’re a vibrant community where children thrive through play-based experiences shaped by their interests and passions. By partnering with parents, we ensure that every child’s unique needs are understood and supported.
