🌿 Introducing Bush Playgroup at Guildford Grammar School – A Nature Filled Adventure for Little Learners! 🌿

Taking place on the banks of the Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River), we are excited to announce the launch of Bush Playgroup, designed for children aged 0 to 3 years! This program offers an exciting, hands-on way for babies and toddlers to explore and learn through the natural world. Through sensory activities, creative play, and outdoor exploration, your child will develop essential skills as they engage in wonder filled experiences in a calming, natural bush environment. Each session is designed to engage your child’s senses, ignite their curiosity and spark a lifelong love of learning from an early age. Give your child the gift of nature-based learning, and watch them discover, connect and thrive! 🌱
