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.
