BUSH KINDY

Wild Adventures Await at Bush Kindy! 🌿✨

Looking for a way to get your preschooler off screens and into the great outdoors? Our Bush Kindy program is all about giving children aged 3.5 to 6 years the freedom to explore, play, and learn in a wild, natural environment—just like kids should.

For 3 hours, your little one will be guided by our experienced Bush Kindy Leaders and Qualified Early Childhood Educators, diving into nature-based adventures that spark curiosity, build resilience, and create unforgettable memories.

Here's what your child can expect at Bush Kindy:

  • Building and crafting with hand tools (yep, even wood whittling!)

  • Fire striking and bush cooking (In fire season!)

  • Loose parts play that lets their imagination run wild

  • Learning knots and building their own bush cubbies

  • Nature crafts—think painting with earth pigments, weaving, and sculpting with clay

  • Identifying plants and wildlife, connecting deeply with the world around them

We know that kids aren't meant to sit still. At Bush Kindy, they'll have the chance to engage in adventurous and sometimes risky play—developing the kind of confidence and resilience that only comes from the wild.

If you're searching for a way to slow down, unplug, and give your child space to grow and explore at their own pace, you’ve found it.
