Child-centred, curiosity-led and educator supported learning and connecting through play on the land. Each day includes warm and connected social gathering times with oral storytelling, lunch time storybooks, and an opening and closing sharing circle.
Our days include a hike out, and the options of playing with art, large loose parts and science investigations. The days on the land offer periods of deep immersive play with educators playing alongside, scaffolding learning, and supporting children in staying safe and kind together. Our approach is emergent and responsive which means each day is unique and child-centred.

"I have two kiddos (6 and 12) who have been at Out To Play over multiple sessions, and they both love it — the friends they've made, their educators, the things they see, the freedom they have to explore. The staff here are wonderful. I've recommended Out To Play to many friends. My kids will continue here until they (sadly!) age out." - EC
"Our son loves going to Out to Play every week. He joined the owl program when he was three, he is now in the fox program and will attend summer camp for the first time this summer. We enjoy hearing the stories about his days outside... All the teachers are wonderful.
Being able to connect with the land (rain, snow or shine) is so important for us and the out to play programs do just this!" HD
