Educated by Nature can help your kindergarten unlock the potential of Kindy Uplift funding with programs that build teacher and educator capability, enhance inclusion, and foster meaningful learning experiences for children.
Although we are based in Western Australia, we regularly tour in Brisbane and can work with local Brisbane services to provide experiences and training. Contact us to see when we are next in town!
At Educated by Nature, our nature-based programs align seamlessly with the six Kindy Uplift priority areas, helping you implement initiatives that support meaningful participation and improved outcomes:
Culturally safe, inclusive and responsive programs: Our programs reference First Nation’s perspectives, creating opportunities to foster understanding, respect, and meaningful connections to Country.
Social and emotional learning: We cultivate children’s social and emotional development through collaborative play, problem-solving, and interactions with nature, encouraging resilience and empathy.
Physicality: Our outdoor nature-based activities promote gross motor skills, physical confidence, and a love for movement, ensuring holistic physical development.
Executive function: Nature play fosters creativity, critical thinking, and decision-making skills, helping children develop executive functioning abilities in a supportive and engaging environment.
Language and literacy: Our storytelling, nature-inspired language activities, and hands-on experiences encourage language development and early literacy skills.
Mathematics and numeracy: Nature play offers practical, hands-on experiences to explore mathematical concepts like patterns, measurement, and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way.
