About this service

Our program and approach

When children play and explore, their imagination and curiosity are sparked – they enjoy learning and are inspired to continue learning more.

Our play-based program intentionally provides a wide range of engaging opportunities and activities based on the Early Years Learning Framework.

We put emphasis on the natural environment and sustainable practices by encouraging children to immerse themselves in nature and activities like gardening, caring for our pet animals, collecting rainwater, recycling, and playing in our mud kitchen.
