No session left
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.

"We absolutely love Out to Play! Our daughter has grown in leaps and bounds in terms of her confidence, awareness and comfort in nature. I can barely keep her in the house now, she only wants to be outside and she is so creative and imaginative in her play. When we take her to playgrounds, she is looking for sticks and trees and animals. She is much more confidant in her interactions with others and her development overall has skyrocketed since we started. She (and we) adore all of the knowledgable, kind and intelligent instructors who provide such a comfortable, safe and stimulating environment. After every session, they give detailed feedback on the day and always relate beautiful stories that arise. I couldn’t be more pleased with our choice in Out to Play, and plan to keep our girls in their programming as long and as often as possible." - AH
"Out to Play is consistently a highlight for our child's week, and has been a wonderful contributor to growing their sense of self, wonder, and inspiring continued curiosity. The educators have met the children where they are, building their resiliency, risk-taking, and imagination in the outdoors. We know that our child is extremely well cared for and returns happy-tired at the end of each week. We truly cannot say enough good things about Out to Play and are grateful to Lara and the team for all they do." - KM
