Bush Playgroup
​(Age 0-5)

Bush Playgroup

We are very excited to offer our playgroup families the opportunity to participate in Bush Playgroup, as a community.

Our Bush Playgroup program is for families with children aged 0-5 years. It provides a rich sensory play experience with storytelling, songs, nature crafts and bush walks. 

Facilitated by Kirsty from Eco Explorers, the program will:
​
  • Incorporate Aboriginal perspectives
  • Help to develop and strengthen community connections
  • Consider each child’s holistic development
  • Support mindfulness in nature, and
  • Encourage sustainability by engaging in meaningful, age-appropriate sensory play experiences.

Our Bush Playgroup takes place at Wattle Park in Burwood. 

Please note that Bush Playgroup is an all-weather outdoor playgroup. Please ensure you bring appropriate weather protection and clothing. Sessions will only be cancelled in the event of an extreme weather warning; fire, storm, extremely high temperatures and strong wind.

Please ensure that you pack the following for you and your child/children:
​
  • Closed footwear when walking in the bush
  • Sun hats
  • Sunscreen
  • Wet weather gear
  • Plenty of snacks
  • Water bottles, and
  • A change of clothes for those muddy play days!
