Child-centred, curiosity-led and educator supported learning and connecting through play on the land. Each day includes warm and connected gatherings 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's time at Out to Play has been transformative, fostering her love for nature and enabling her to develop important life skills. She has developed a deep appreciation for nature, learned valuable life skills, and formed beautiful friendships with her peers and the land. We are incredibly grateful for the positive influence you've all had on her overall development. The program has shaped her character and resilience in a profound way."
"I wish that all schools had more outdoor time and connection to nature like this. My lo loves her regular school and come home happy, but when she comes home from forest school she is glowing and vibrating with good energy, she is just so lit up it is incredible. I hope to always be able to have her come here and feel all kids would benefit from it. The educators are great, they are very kind and patient with her and I like how there are enough people to support different activities based on the kids interests." - S
