🌿🍃 Growing our Bush Kindy vision 🍃🌿
On Saturday, our passionate team of educators spent the day learning alongside the incredible team at Wildlings Forest School in Burnside.
Wildlings Forest School is an outdoor learning community that embraces child-led, nature-based education. Their philosophy is centred around giving children the time, space and freedom to explore, take supported risks, solve problems, build resilience and develop a genuine connection with the natural world.
Throughout the day, our educators immersed themselves in hands-on experiences that inspired us to see nature as the classroom. We explored loose parts play, built shelters using natural materials, created transient nature art, engaged in storytelling, and discovered countless ways to spark curiosity and imagination through the environment around us.
These experiences reminded us that some of the richest learning happens when children are given the opportunity to slow down, wonder, create and explore.
Bush Kindy offers children so many benefits, including:
🌱 Building confidence and resilience.
🪵 Developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
🍂 Encouraging creativity and imagination.
🦋 Supporting physical wellbeing through active outdoor play.
🌏 Fostering a deep respect and connection with nature.
🤝 Strengthening teamwork, communication and independence.
As a team at Goodstart Nambour City View Terrace, we are excited to bring this learning back to our service as we continue to grow and bring our Bush Kindy vision to life. We can't wait to share this journey with our children and families and watch our little explorers thrive in the great outdoors.
