Plan for Success with Native Bees: ELC Case Study

Webinar: Plan for Success with Native Bees - ELC Case Study

Tuesday 24th February 2026. Note times for different states:

NSW: 3.30pm - 4.30pm AEDT

QLD: 2.30pm - 3.30pm AEST

As early childhood educators and directors, we are reminded daily that children need a regular digital detox, to get outside and connect with nature. By planning fun, nature-based learning lessons kids can learn lifelong skills and appreciate screen free time.

In this webinar, we will hear about how St Anne's Long Day Care Centre did just this - simply by introducing Australian Native Bees to the classroom environment.

Toni Baker, experienced Long Day Care Centre educator is passionate about bringing nature into the classroom and she will share some of the successes they have achieved in their classrooms at St Anne's Long Day Care Centre.

Toni will be joined by Steve Maginnity from the Australian Native Bee Co. Steve has a passion for introducing educators and children to nature by using Australian native (stingless) bees in the classroom. He encourages educational facilities to introduce native bee hives in their garden design, and to incorporate important nature-based life skills in the classroom.

As humans we are biologically wired to be drawn to nature and have a tendency to seek connections with nature and other living things. In our digital age, this has never been more important! This free webinar is designed to inspire ELC educators, directors and owners, to do just that, specifically with Australian native bees.

This webinar will help inspire new ways to develop teaching tools with native bees and garden design.  This will help children:

• Develop curiosity in the natural world

• Connect with nature

• Understand some basics of biodiversity and sustainability in their own neighbourhood

Note: This is a free webinar, specifically for the ELC community. We will send log in details the day before the event, to all who have registered. If you can't attend, but would like a copy of the webinar, please register also.
