Experience the freedom of outdoor, all-weather, 2-hour, 3-hour or 5.5 hour bush kinder sessions designed for children aged 3.5 to 7 years under the care of experience facilitators and overseen by a trauma-informed, inclusive practice teacher and ecologist.

This is a supported drop off program (ages 3.5+ can be dropped off without a supervising adult) focused on nature connection, play and exploration. Whether you’d like to stay and share the adventure with your child or are ready to leave them in the expert care of our experienced facilitators, we’ve got you covered. Children aged 2-3 are welcome to join with an adult caregiver. Siblings under 3.5 can come along for free with a supervising adult.

Our sessions foster holistic child development through creativity, problem-solving, emotional growth, and self-regulation. Literacy and numeracy concepts are seamlessly woven into play and exploration, inspired by your child’s natural interests.

While predominately guided by the children's interests, sessions occasionally feature experts in yoga, occupational therapy, horticulture, flora, fauna, and more.

Let your little ones thrive in nature while you enjoy the flexibility and peace of mind you deserve.

Bush Kinder is open to kinder, primary school and home schooled children.

TRIAL SESSIONS can be arranged, simply select "Casual Ticket" at booking. If you decide to proceed with the term, you can book a term ticket directly, or get in touch to generate a Term Ticket without the Humanitix booking fees. We also have a Nature Playgroup option if you would rather a 1 hour, low cost stay and play session to explore the space.

TERM PAYMENT is our preferred commitment. Research shows that consistent participation in nature-based programs fosters deeper connections, greater developmental benefits, and stronger community bonds. If you have unique needs and can only commit to fortnightly or half term, please get in touch. We also can offer payment plans on request.

SUPPORT NEEDS To attend without a parent/guardian, children need to be independent, including toileting and the ability to follow direction from facilitators. If your child requires support at School, Kindergarten or other drop off programs, they may need support at Born Wild Community. We will work with you to establish what is needed to promote inclusion for your child.

MULTI AGE GROUPS Our program targets children aged 2-7, with research consistently showing that younger children thrive by observing and learning from older peers, while older children build leadership and empathy skills. This approach fosters a rich, inclusive setting that supports a wide range of developmental needs.

NOT FOR PROFIT Born Wild Community is a not for profit incorporation, meaning all payments we receive are put back into improving our programs. We are required to meet minimum numbers and self support our programs. In the event a program does not meet minimum numbers, transfer to alternate days, or a full refund of the registration fee will be offered.

If you are NOT SURE if Born Wild Community is right for your young person, please contact us and we can provide additional information and options info@bornwildcommunity.org.au Please note the program does not have administration each day.
