Description
Join us in Term 1 2025 for our Beach Playgroup (8 weeks) at Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary located on the traditional lands of the Bunurong people in Beaumaris. It’s the perfect place to introduce kids to the wonder of Victoria’s underwater marine life with sandstone platforms are home to an array of marine creatures and are excellent for rockpool exploration.
Our Beach Playgroup incorporates hands-on, child-led learning and sensory play through a range of nature-based activities, nature crafts, storytelling, songs and a bush walk exploring.
Our dedicated team of facilitators create a safe and nurturing space where children can develop social skills, build confidence, and connect with the natural world (read more about our team here). This Playgroup is facilitated by Marine Biologist Amy.
Our program has been developed to give your child optimum opportunity to build their gross motor and physical skills through movement and fine motor skills during our craft activities. Research clearly shows that the more time your child spends in nature, the better they are prepared for school, both physically and emotionally.
Beach playgroup is an all-weather outdoor playgroup so you need to make sure you bring appropriate weather protection and clothing. Our playgroup will only be cancelled in the event of an extreme weather warning; fire, storm, high temperatures and strong wind.
Ages: 1 – 3 years
