Outdoor Learning, Community Walks and Nature

Incursions, excursions and community or nature walks are an important part of our programs. These experiences help children connect with their neighbourhood, explore new environments and deepen their learning in hands on ways.

Teaching teams choose these opportunities thoughtfully, based on the interests, strengths and developmental needs of each group. All outings are planned with children's safety and wellbeing at the centre, with risk assessments, careful ratios and written permission from families.
