This special program aims to help children grow and develop with and in nature. Children will climb, dig, explore, build, engage their senses, discover and play!

Seedlings Nature School provides a captivating combination of nature-based activities, games and stories for children aged 2.5 – 5 years.

Participation in nature play has the ability to enhance children’s curiosity and creativity, boost self-esteem and improve resilience, allowing them to learn, make decisions and develop understanding in a natural, safe environment.

Time in nature is a fun, informative and wonderful investment in your child’s future.

  • Children must be accompanied by an adult carer.
  • Babies not participating in the program may attend free of charge with their ticket-holding sibling.
  • This program runs in all weather so don’t forget to pack your gumboots, rain jacket and your hat.
