Our Programs
Report
Outdoor activities in a natural environment have been proven to be extremely beneficial to children's health, wellbeing and development. Originating in Scandinavia in the 1950's, the forest preschool approach has been used as a framework for nature education, where children are encouraged to play in, and learn from the natural world around them.
Nature Education
Report
Our WCK Explorers attend a mix of indoor, outdoor and nature experiences to inspire joyful learning. On Monday and Fridays, the WCK Explorers are able to spend their day exploring and meeting the animals at Green House Farm. Located within walking distance of our Woombye centre, groups of children enjoy spending time exploring the outdoors and playing at Milo and Jill's place.
