Join us for a bush playgroup program (10 weeks) at Devilbend Natural Resources Reserve on the traditional lands of the Bunurong people on the Mornington Peninsula.

Our Bush Playgroup incorporates hands-on, child-led learning and sensory play through a range of nature-based activities, nature crafts, storytelling, songs and a bush walk exploring.

Eco Explorers bush playgroups are facilitated by qualified and experienced nature play educators (read more about our team here) that are highly skilled and knowledgeable in the area that they work in. This playgroup is run by Nina. Nina is a qualified and experienced early Childhood Educator and believes that being outdoors and giving children the space and support to explore the natural environment is so important..

Our program has been developed to give your child optimum opportunity to build their gross motor and physical skills through movement and fine motor skills during our craft activities. Research clearly shows that the more time your child spends in nature, the better they are prepared for school, both physically and emotionally.

Session 1. Bush Babies: ages: 0 – 2  years

Session 2. Tawny Toddlers: ages 2 – 4 years
