Bush Buddies

Bush Buddies is a fun, informative and engaging weekly program for kids aged 2-4 years. These sessions will provide a hands-on learning experience that is linked to the current Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) requirements and designed to ‘extend and enrich’ children’s learning through interactive and sensory learning experiences. 

This is a great way to encourage young children to interact and connect with Australian animals and nature, in an engaging learning outdoor environment. 

Our aim is to provide a platform for your child to engage, learn and conserve. 

Every week is different!

Maximum of 12 kids per session, no exceptions.
