Description
Join us in term 4 for our Tawny Toddlers Bush Playgroup program (11 weeks) at Yarra Bend Park, situated in the traditional Country of the Wurundjeri People only 6 km north-east of Melbourne City Centre on the banks of the beautiful Yarra River. Surrounded by the beautiful bush of Yarra Bend Park, a historic boathouse, a bridge and many bush tracks to explore and discover.
Our Bush 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 Bush Playgroup is facilitated by Bush Playgroup Facilitator, Kirsty.
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.
Bush 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.
