Adventure KINdy, Term 1, 2023

Our adventure KINdy programs offer opportunities for children aged 3-6 years to come together, play, explore, take risks and learn from the natural world through stories, songs, art, exploration, and imaginary play.

Based on Early Years theory and the Forest School philosophy of child-led, play-based learning, our days at KINdy are filled with activities and opportunities for exploration and learning led by the children’s natural curiosity and wonder. 

Sessions are led by trained educators and take place outside in all weather.  Throughout the sessions, children can choose to participate in outdoor games, learn how to use hand tools such as saws or whittling knives, build cubbies, cook on the campfire, dig in the mud, identify bugs with magnifying glasses, or retreat to our shelter for some reading or nature craft. 

Our Adventure KINdy sessions are held at various locations including the beach, the forest, and a local farm during school term times, and are situated on the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung People. 

​Our sessions are ‘drop-off programs’, however, parents and carers are welcome to attend for as long as they choose or need in order for your child to feel comfortable.

In an effort to create greater equity, we wish to extend a reduced program rate to individual children who are from marginalised or single-parent families. Please make use of the following checkout code if you wish to access this program: KINDY1. In doing this we hope to promote equal opportunity and inclusion for all children who would benefit from play-based education.
Alternatively, you are welcome to talk to us directly so that we can work something out.
